Check the reverb tank for bad or loose connections. Also check for cold or bad solder connections

Dusty pots get proper spray cleaner to clean the control pots, move them back and forth after you spray and noise should clear up. have a good one.

Just a long shot, but remove the pedal that turns on the reverb and trem, I've had that cop out on me loads of times and that can cause a horrible hum.

SOURCE: just got my fender 63 reverb reissue unit...and

If you unplug the guitar cable and STILL get the hum, the unit has a defect... return under warranty.

If the hum goes away when you unplug the cable, replace the cable and see if new cable fixes the problem. If it does, the cable has a bad shield.

If the cable didn't cure it, then the guitar has a defect. Remember that some guitar pickups are sensitive to the magnetic fields from the amps... only cure is to either use humbucker types or be a distance away from the amp.

Is there any way to use a heil talkbox with a fender '65 deluxe reverb reissue?

No - you use these with a microphone. Plug you guitar into the Heil, put the tube in your moth and sing into a mic while playing. You CAN plug the microphone into the fender amp, but a PA system is better

What year would a Fender Princeton Reverb with serial number A08011 be? Thanks!

Deciding the date depends on what part of the amp your serial number is.

The reverb channel on my fender twin feeds back

Not sure of how it is feeding back. Two possibilities... the reverb tank in the cabinet is no longer shock mounted. The other is your guitar can "hear" the speaker... make sure you are away from the amp. With the reverb on, the feedback stability is less than with it off so make sure your guitar is away from the amp. Acoustic guitars are more sensitive to this than solid body ones.

Unable to activate reverb and drive channel with either cabinet switches or footswitch. Brand new out of the box so it must be something I am doing.

Make sure you have the CORRECT foot switch pedal. Try unplugging the pedal and then try the cabinet switches to see if they work. The pedal for this one has a different circuit than some. I have the schematic and we can do further testing.
