Haven't been able to get in touch with the factory so while I'm waiting, I'll ask here:
I picked up a 90's tweed JE200 last week - great amp but the reverb wasn't working. I replaced it with a spare that I had from a previous Evans and it works but there's a weird 'tail' on the reverb after I hit a hard chord so I'm suspecting that the input and output impedance are wrong (wasn't smart enough to write down the code on the tank before I put it in the amp!). The old one was 30 ohm input and 185 ohm output. Plus it's an Accutronics short tank, 2 spring which doesn't even show up online that I can find. Can't take the new one out to check the code as it's at the theater where I'm doing "Always...Patsy Cline" and they won't let me move it 'cause it's part of the set!
Any of you amp guys have any answer?

Still haven't been able to get in touch with Scot - sometimes it rings and goes unanswered or get a non valid number message. I just sent a second email so maybe it will get some results. If it was any other company, I'd be irritated but I just can't bring myself to be mad at these folks!

Finally got in touch with Scot and talked for quite a while. Found out which reverb tank I needed and got some pointers on tweaking the amp settings. It's really nice to see someone who'll take time to interact with his customers - It's fairly common in the steel world but getting rarer on the outside. Thank, Scot!!
