>Do you know which type of reverb tanks are supposed to be used?

This will work many Accutronics tanks as long as they have high input 
impedance and low/medium output impedance. I incorported the dual 
tank design in my TLN-156 (along with a resonator on the recovery amp 
and voltage controlled everything), circuit can be found at

Here is a snippet from the TLN-156 user guide regarding reverb tank 
selection (this applies to both the hot springs circuit and my 
circuit):


Choosing Reverb Tanks

The Accutronics Reverb website has all the info you need about their 
reverb tanks:
www.accutronicsreverb.com. Reverb tank part numbers consist of a 
seven digit code (my
tanks are #1FB2B1D). Each digit in the part number represents a 
specification. The
recommended parameters for the TLN-156 are as follows: 

1st digit Reverb Type Your choice: 1, 4, 8, or 9.
2nd digit Input Impedance F - 1475 ohm for types 1 and 4,  1925 ohm 
for types 8 and 9.
3rd digit Output Impedance B - 2250 ohm for types 1 and 4,  2575 ohm 
for types 8 and 9.
4th digit Decay Your choice: 1, 2, or 3.
5th digit Connectors D - Input Insulated / Output Insulated (best) B 
- Input Grounded / Output Insulated (ok)
6th digit Locking Devices Only once choice: 1.
7th digit Mounting Plane Your choice: A, B, C, D, E, or F.
