Very strange occurrence today--I fired up my early '60s Reverberocket today after having not used it for several months & the reverb knob was acting like a master volume/gain. This is something it's never done before & I've had the amp for years. Reverb still worked, but it also really swelled the gain. After several hours of playing it, it was back to normal.

I'm curious--any clues? I last had it serviced about 2 yrs ago by a great amp tech, but does this mean it is time to take it in for another go-round? Thanks in advance folks!

Try a different reverb tube. It could be a resistor or coupling cap in that section starting to fail.
