Spider IV 150 rattling

I have a Line 6 Spider IV 150 guitar amp and when I go with any clean preset or settings, it will rattle like it is trying to go into distortion then fade into a the clean sound. I don't know why it would do that. I have had no problems with any distortions, it just seems to be the clean effects that are doing it.

    Not sure what you mean by 'rattling' - can you record the problem and post a soundclip somewhere?

    That would definitely be helpful.

     

    Does it happen if you use the Phones output? Or maybe it's a mechanical rattle of a loose component when you have a clean tone that's pushing more air/causing certain frequencies to vibrate that might not be a accentuated with a high gain tone (where frequency transients may not spike as much do to the effects of overdriving the signal to a more uniform square-wave)?

    If there's nothing visually out of place, you may want to have an authorized service center diagnose and repair this issue. They can be found at http://line6.com/service_centers/.
