Members gtarbastrdchild Posted October 18, 2006 Members Share Posted October 18, 2006 I've got this rattle coming from my ENGL Sovereign Combo. Anyone know what it could be? Tubes, or something else?......I replaced the power and preamp tubes not too long ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Japetus Posted October 18, 2006 Members Share Posted October 18, 2006 Sounds like a microphonic preamp tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gtarbastrdchild Posted October 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 18, 2006 Dude that was so quick I got whiplash! I replaced all but two of the preamp tubes, so I'll try replacing the remaining ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tele_jas Posted October 18, 2006 Members Share Posted October 18, 2006 Do you have tube retainers on your tubes?? Could it be a tube vibrating in the socket? Play it or have someone else play it and take something and touch each tube and see you can find a ratteling tube. Also push in on the back of your speaker (the magnet part) and make sure the speaker is in there tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gtarbastrdchild Posted October 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 18, 2006 I checked all those things, the speakers in there ok, and the tubes are in retainers but they're pretty secure. Checked the sockets too, they're ok..... Looks like I got what this guy and this guy had I'll try replacing the power tubes and getting some dampers.....these ones look ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
