what's in the bag?

Hi again,

What's in the bag under the footswitch bag? I believe it's the reverb tank but I've never seen 'em
bagged up like that. Sorry, I'm new to Mesa so if this is an old trick lemme know...thanks!

Damn, I cant get my footswitch in the back of my combo in that bag! ....Maybe I need to force it?

I think the bag in the bottom contains the reverb tank. I see wires leading to it, and makes me think the verb

I don't use the footswitch bag for the footswitch. Too risky when I'm dead tired and rushing to pack up.
Just seems too easy to donk a tube or two with it. I've been throwing the footswitch into my pedal board
case.

reverb bag. it has the reverb tank mounted onto a piece of plywood. generally in the design of a reverb feature, you put the tank as far away from the chassis as possible while still in the cabinet (hence the bag @ the bottom) in order to prevent noise acoustically coupling from the chassis to the tank. basically, you shake one thing, it'll shake another if too close.

anytime you see an rca cable coming out of somewhere in an amp, it's probably the reverb. unless it's the speaker, but that should be even more obvious.
