Members inlifeisdeath Posted November 8, 2006 Members Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hi there, My amp vibrates horribly when I play some low notes. It's an AC15CC, I understand that the vibration is common. But it still irks the living hell out of me. I've tried tightening all the screws that I can see, but the problem persists. Can anyone help? What else can I tighten? It seems that something is loose inside and is thus subject to the vibrations! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds really weird, maybe you should open the chassis and check if something is loose inside and is thus subject to the vibrations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members code_blue Posted November 8, 2006 Members Share Posted November 8, 2006 Its probably the room. Move the amp to the other side or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members inlifeisdeath Posted November 8, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2006 That's interesting, the room being a factor. I shall try it out heh. About opening the chassis, I did that. And I can't see much to tighten. Any help there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Hard to say what the rattle is without hearing it in person - and even then, they can be tough to track down sometimes. I'd start with the tubes... make sure any tube retainers are tight and not vibrating. Sometimes a microphonic tube can cause a "rattling" type sound... it's a bit of a hassle to swap them on that amp, but if you have a spare set around, give it a try. The speaker itself should also be tight - that can vibrate aganst the baffleboard if it isn't. You've checked all the cabinet screws... I'm running out of possibilities here... sorry. No, I've never experienced any rattles with my AC15cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rockon1000 Posted November 12, 2006 Members Share Posted November 12, 2006 Different amp but my Palomino V32 was buzzing/vibrating and it was a hassle to figure it out. Turned out to be the back cover (even though it was tight) vibrating on the chassis. I put some thin foam tape on the inside where it contacts the chassis and voila-gone. Good luck ,persistance pays off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members inlifeisdeath Posted November 13, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks for the reply, I will try the foam thing too. Thanks also, Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
