One of the 6V6 tubes in my X2 has developed a glassy rattle on certain notes. It goes away when it's held. So what is best solution? Amp is two weeks old. Does Fender send out new tubes for the end user to install? Or is there something else I can do to eliminate this noise?

Thanks much.

How hard is it to remove the tubes (they seem to be in there pretty tight)? Does that metal harness need to be taken off first?

Hi wt24,

We will be happy to assist. It sounds like you might have a bad tube. If you just bought the amp two weeks ago, we recommend you take it to Service Center and they will most likely swap out the tubes under warranty. Please let us know how it goes and if we can assist further.
