Ashdown distorts when playing a D

Sign in to disble this ad
I have an Ashdown ABM EVO II C410T combo, and when I'm playing a D, fretted or unfretted, it doesn't have the same clean sound every other note does. It sounds like it's distorting just a little bit, but it's not significantly distorted, just enough to be noticeable.

And here's the odd thing; when I lean the amp forward, it stops the distortion. Put it back flat, back it comes. It doesn't seem to be affected when I lean it backwards.

Any ideas?

Okay, it was one of the screws that held in one of the lower speakers, it was tight, but it had the speaker right up against the wall of the amp. I loosened it, move the speaker over slightly, then re-tightened it, distortion gone!
