reverb cables

[drunkdolphin]

Does anyone know why MB uses an unshielded cable and shielded cable for the reverb send and return?
Has anyone ever changed them?

Because that's what their particular reverb tanks require...they aren't Fender tanks!

Most Mesa's reverb circuits use the output ground to the chassis.

Thanks guys,

No problem. But to answer your question, yes. I tried a high quality set of gold contact reverb cables and it made no sonic difference.
