Those reverb models have diode clipping and the entire circuit is very very different from a regular 800 or any tube amp for that matter. theres a lot you could do to alter, but i think barring a total rebuild with a turret board and a TW design you're not going to be able to do much aside from improve whats already there.

You would trash a 25 yo amp in the process. Start a new build or sell it.
