For a long time, I didn't realize one of the coils in my Ruby reverb tank had broken at the terminal and was not functioning properly. Fortunately the tank connects with a set of standard RCA connectors (R/W).

Due to the broke ass tank, I began theorizing the insertion of different effects in the reverb position of the amplifier's circuitry.

After experimenting with low mix/slow phasing, as well as low mix/shallow depth/high speed tremolo for texturing; being able to use the independent channel and global mix controls for a nonstandard effect for the position gives me a big rubbery one.
Especially if that effect had an on-board switch for more random motion. The Diablo already features a reverb cancel 1/4" jack, making remote termination of the effect (performance) possible. This is again just from observation -I have in no way tested the reverb cancel feature on the amplifier. Hopefully it acts as an toggle for yes/no.
I still have to place an order with mouser for the components to rebuild the tremolo.
After replacing the Power PCB in the Diablo, I haven't had any other components marked as bad, however, I haven't tested all of them. My primary concern was with noise, and so far we have a lot more headroom than we did.
This is a sidetrack.
Expect new rails.
