My Carvin tube amp has started making a rattling noise lately and I'm not sure what the cause is. It seemed to be louder with the reverb turned up so I thought it might be the tube or a loose spring. I completely disconnected the reverb tank and it still makes the sound. I purchased a new 12AX7 and switched it out with the existing tubes one at a time and it still rattled. I had an old set of power tubes and switched those out and it still made the rattling sound. Checked all the nuts on the speakers and those appear to all be tight. I suppose I could buy a whole new set of power tubes to verify if that was the cause, but was wondering if it could be something else.
Any ideas?
