I have a Blues De-Ville Reissue and I'm having an issue that is crazy. When playing an "A" (open A, A chord, or any A down the neck) I'm getting a "rattle". Am I crazy or is this some kind of sympathetic noise based on the note's frequency? I took it back to the music store and was unable to recreate but in retrospect I think we had the drive up to high and the tube break up was masking the noise. I've since tested with a different guitar and got the same result. I couldn't see anything loose when I looked in the back of the cabinet. Any Ideas????

I would drop 1/2 step and see if you get the rattle in the A sharp position, or the open A (now G Sharp). If its sensitive to the note, than I dont know what to tell you :?: If its sensitive to the open position than it may be a problem with a speaker.

Search the forum for tube rattle. That's what it sounds like it is.
