Replace reverb tank with pedal?

Never been a fan of spring reverb, so the tank on my hot rod deluxe has sat on 0 for ages - but just recently it started making some funny noises.  So I figured if I've gotta get my hands dirty and figure out what's wrong, I might as well take the opportunity for some mods. 

 

I once heard Dan Steinheardt of The Gig Rig/That Pedal Show fame remark that you could take a patch cable and connect both leads of a reverb (bypassing the tank) and have a secondary drive control.  Now that wouldn't quite work with a hot rod deluxe (at least not well) since it's a solid state driver, but it got me thinking about putting other pedals in the loop.  Trouble is, I don't know enough about level, impedance, etc to even know what questions to ask google.  

 

I run a hof mini in the loop of the amp on all the time as a substitute amp-reverb, and a separate reverb for sometimes, effect-y reverb.  It would be really cool to leave the hof on the amp (maybe even mounted where the spring tank is now), kill the dry signal and use the actual amp's reverb knob to control it.
