I noticed my reverb wasnt working very good...I could hear only a small amount of verb if I turned it up all the way. I visually inspected the tube, it appeared to be "lit up" and wasnt making any strange noises when I tapped on it. Then I checked the connections from the tank to the chassis...I heard a noise as I was wiggling one of the connectors so I decided to pull and inspect the ends. The first one came out fine, looked good so I plugged it back in. When I pulled the second connector, I pulled the whole darn thing out! The female part that is attached to the chassis came completely out. This made for a "dry" night Is this something I could possibly fix myself?

I wouldn't be scared to open up your chassis and see how its attached , be careful with your tubes when you take the chassis out of the cab , I take it its a combo? sounds like a solder job might fix it.
email the DR, he will set you straight

ahhhh, save some money, get a good solder iron, hot and ground Ive got a soldering iron already...heck I might try it myself but reverb isnt important enough for me to jump right in there with the iron...I got 4 gigs this weekend and I'd rather play dry than to screw something up and have to use a Twin...those Twins are downright harsh after you get used to a Z! My biggest concern was that I knew there was a nut floating around in the amp...Ive got that part taken care of so the rest can wait.
