Can anybody recommend common sources of vibration-based rattle on this amp? It's driving me crazy, so I've got to track it down. Funny, it's one of those frequencies you can still hear when the amp is fairly loud. I had some coming from one of the strap handle covers, but that's fixed and I've still got something loose. Thanks.

Try tightening all of the screws down. They can come loose.
 
It was actually something internal to a power tube. By pressing on the top of the tube, presumably stopping the vibration, the sound goes away. It's not the socket or retainer as when that tube is moved the vibration/suppression moves with it. Not sure if that's a sign of impending doom for that tube or not, might just be better to retube.
 
nope. it's just an inherent design flaw that pretty much happens with all loud tube combos. you'll get used to it!
