Walkabout rattletrap

[Krügmeister]

Does anyone elses Walkabout scout rattle and vibrate when playing?.. I LOVE the sound but MY GOD it rattles and buzzes like a buzzard.

Microphonic preamp tube?

Or, you may be pushing the single 12 too hard. That's why I sold my Scout cab, and use my WA head with a 2x12 exclusively.

No rattle in mine. Keep in mind that the 4 Ohm cab is deceptive, as the driver won't really swallow 300 watts whole without some indigestion; it becomes excursion limited like any other "normal" (ie not a "long throw") 12" driver. I agree with RickenBoogie-if you are blasting the crap out of it, it may simply be asking you to add another 12 :-)

Mine's tight and rattle free. No need to put up with a rattling cab; it sounds like yours needs fixing.

Ditto. When I would pick mine up by the handle, I would hear a clunk and then I could rattle it. Tightend up the bolt. No rattle now.
