Hey guys. I just bought a Blues Deluxe Reissue about 6 months ago. I love the amp, it sounds amazing! The only thing is it came with some rattly preamp tubes.

it was a pretty noisy rattle that i only heard on certain notes.It wasnt a big deal to me because i planned to replace the stock tubes any way.

I finnaly replaced the tubes about a month ago. I got SED 6l6GC power tubes, and Mullard 12ax7 new production preamps. The new tubes sound great, But the rattle is still there!

This time i hear on almost every note. What do you think could be the problem? Thanks.

Tubes will rattle at some point in combos. Especially in smaller higher wattage combos. You can try some tube dampers. The hot rod series are the worst. The tubes are really close to the speaker. Do a search on the forum, I posted suppliers. They are pretty cheap.

I had the same issue but with power tubes on the supersonic. I found some power tube dampers on ebay and they did the trick. Try searching for 8 TUBE AMP/PREAMP DAMPERS on ebay an you should find some orange o ring looking dampers for pretty cheap.
