Just received a beautiful SST black and gold (alnico gold celestions). When played at medium levels, the amp made a loud rattle that seemed to be electronic in nature. Nothing appeared to be loose on the chassis, no casters installed etc. When switching between clean and burn channels....a diminishing squeal occurred. The amp arrived in good shape ...no damage to the shipping box. I made sure the tubes were seated before I powered on. I noticed that some SST owners on this forum have tried 2 or more SST's to get a good one. I have already returned the amp as defective. I am considering ordering another one...not many left on the market with this option. Good or bad idea?....any insight would be appreciated. I REALLY want this thing to work..lol

Jeepers... that is disappointing that you had to have that experience when one is totally excited by new gear.Lately it seems that quality control has been discussed frequently as topic.
