Accutronics, 8DB2C1B Reverb Can

The Accutronics 8DB2C1B is a high-quality, short-length 3-spring reverb tank designed for guitar amplifiers, bass amps, and DIY spring reverb units. Despite its compact size, this reverb tank delivers a rich, textured reverb character that approaches the tonal depth of larger or longer tanks.

Decay Time: Medium (approximately 1.75 – 3.0 seconds)
Input Impedance: 310 Ω
Output Impedance: ~2,575 Ω
Mounting Orientation: Horizontal, open side down
Connector Type: Input is insulated, output is grounded
Tank Length: Short — 9.25″ approximately
Construction: Robust and solid — built to last
Decay Characteristics: Medium decay offers a balance — not too short, not overly long — making it very musical and usable in a wide range of amp designs.

This reverb tank is especially suited to amps and reverb units that require a compact spring tank but still want a lush, vintage-style reverb feel. It’s used (or is compatible) with a variety of amplifiers, including:

Marshall models like the VS100 / VS265 and some JCM900 lines.
Roland amps such as the JC90 and JC120B.
Fender combos like the FM212R, FM210R, and FM65R.
Polytone amps (e.g., Minibrute I-IV) and other compact or boutique heads.

Because of its small footprint, it’s ideal for compact amplifier chassis, pedal-based spring reverb builds, or DIY reverb units where space is at a premium.

Sound Character

The three springs provide a relatively dense reverb texture — more resonant and “springy” than simpler 1- or 2-spring tanks.
The medium decay time means the reverb is not too short or “boingy,” but gives enough tail to feel lush and atmospheric.
It retains good dynamics and clarity, making it suitable for both clean tones and driven or overdriven amp settings.
