So, I just picked up this Super Reverb RI the other day.After having it home and playing it for a while I started noticing a few weird sounds.I'm getting a little bit of a rattling sound.It's really low and doesn't get any lounder if I turn the volume up.I'm thinking a couple of the GT 12AX7'S may be microphonic?
The second sound and the one that concerns me the most is,I getting a high pich ,feedback like sqeel that seems to be coming from the reverb.It goes away when the reverb is off.What do you guys think? Does anybody else play through one of these? Which 12AX7 controls the reverb? I really love the sound and I 'd love to keep it, if it's just a tube issue.Otherwise it's going back Tuesday.

Thanks
