Marshall 4x12 Guitar Cab making horrible sound

Sign in to disble this ad
I haven't noticed this happening before...

Today when I plugged into my Marshall 4x12 guitar cab is made a horrible buzzing mweeerrrrp sound when I played. It sounded like the entire cab was vibrating. Very bad. It only happened when I played with a bassier distortion and was much worse on certain notes / chords, notably A#. I wasn't pushing the amp too hard (reasonable volume) and was running the correct ohms from amp to cab. A friend said that the cab might be 'tuned' to a certain frequency and that the cab was sympathetically vibrating when I played near or at that frequency, but I don't remember that happening before plus that seems a bit crazy to me.

Any ideas? Anyone know where else on the net to ask?

Thanks in advance!

I don't.

Check to see that all the speakers are properly affixed- ie: all four nuts are securely tightened on each speaker.
