GK MBE-II (400 watt) High frequency issue

For reference, I am using a hartke LH500 head.

When my treble is turned up, or the brite switch is engaged (basically a treble booster) there is a very noticeable staticky fuzz sound that comes out of the cab. If I turn off the horn with the switch on the back of the cab, much of the fuzz sound goes away, but not all of it if the treble is up a lot and the brite switch is engaged.

This isn't a huge problem, as I do not like the tone if the treble is any past 1:00 (which is where the fuzz starts to happen, assuming the brite switch isn't engaged) however it would be nice to know if this is fixable or just a common problem.
