Seems this group has a diverse range of technical knowledge. Well I'm having a slight problem my amp and thought I'd mine that vein. I hope someone can give me a clue. My Crate VC3112 all tube amp (probably not the rectifier) resonates with certain bass notes, making a raspy, rattling kind of noise. The noise comes through the speaker and is not a mechanical phenomenon (handle rattle, etc.) The $64,000 question is this: is this the result of a microphonic tube? If so, how do I tell which one. There are 4 12AX7's and 4 EL84's and none of them seem to be glowing in a funny way. Any other ideas as to the cause? Thanks for your help. Motley
