I'll post this is both forums as it aplies to both....
But there have been a couple of times that I have swapped chasses in my two Z's just for grins.... I've taken the 18 watt chassis out of the 210 cab and swapped it with the 38 watt in the 2 12. Just makes for some interesting changes...
But I've always noticed that the reverb in the Sr is SOOO much more dominant than in the Jr. At first, I thought it might be the difference in voltages, etc. Then I thought it might be the difference in types of speakers that was making the difference... But nope... I never thought to look at the tanks (Duh!!), but I noticed they are different. The MAZ Sr tank is short. The MAZ Jr tank is long, more like what we're used to seeing in Fender amps...
The Jr has a more subtle reverb, which I actually prefer. The Sr can take you surfing if you want to go that way. As it stands, I have the reverb control on my Sr *barely* cracked open, like at about 8 o'clock. it's still has quite a bit of dwell even at that setting...
I'm wondering if all MAZ Jr's & Sr's have different 'verb tanks, or is it the fact that my Jr is an '04 model and my Sr is '05? Meaning, I've heard the Doc mention that folks were reqesting more reverb, so is that why he made the change?
Wondering if anyone else has noticed this, and what your thoughts are.
And also, even though I'm fine with leaving the amps how they are.... I'd be perfectly willing to swap tanks from my MAZ Sr with someone who has an older MAZ if they wish they had a more prominent reverb sound.

I don't know if Z got requests for stronger 'verb, but 'verb (shorter tank) in the Maz 38 Sr head I owned for a while was much more pronounced than the 'verb in my Jr 2x10 combo (longer tank). I also prefer the less pronounced 'verb. Even though I live by the ocean, I never surf! JeffD

I use the reverb in my Maz 38 but I also think it has too much dwell, too long of a tail to it. Sometimes it seems that by the time it's loud enough to hear a little it's just too strong. I wish there was an easier way to shorten the reverb sound without changing the tank.
