Tube Rattle / Peavey Classic 30
My little amp has developed a 'good' amount of tube rattle... just enough to make it very frustrating to play. I did a fair amount of internet searching to help me determine it was indeed the tubes, and not the cabinet that was rattling.
It seems fairly common on the Classic 30, and the Delta Blues. There's a fix available on eBay from a Gent who has developed a 'Tube Tamer', and it looks like it should do the trick.
My amp was purchased new, and is less than a year old and hasn't left the house since I purchased it. I've emailed Peavey's Customer Service detailing my problem. I'll wait for them to respond before I try any home or aftermarket fixes.
