EVH 5150 III V2 50W 6L6 Noises

Hello everyone been getting a tink, tink, tink noise when doing palm mutes on my EVH on the Blue channel with my new PRS SE Custom 24, any thoughts on what might be going on??

If you have an extra 12ax7 laying around try swapping it into v1 first and then v2. Since it's only doing it on the blue it makes me think it's a preamp stage.

What Dave said, and Sometimes you just need to pull v1 out and re seat it. Sounds like tube has gotten a little microphonic to me.

Tube issue. Easy fix.
