rattley rattley

Ok I have a 10W Park (by Marshall) amp and i also have a Zoom 50511 mulit-effects pedal that i run through it pretty much full time to give me a range/choice of tone.
Recently the little handle on the top of the box has kinda started to come off, so sometimes when i play it full volume/maxi distortion/gain etc the vibrations cause a rattle from the plastic on the top of the amp. Buuuut im a little bit concerned: recently i've been able to hear a rattle when i play NOT full volume, and when its clean. I think it might be coming from the amp itself, not the rattley handle.
Im guessing this is bad. Any ideas?
cheers

well if you think its the handle, try tightening the screws on it, or just take the thing off..

see if that does anything

well i thought it was the handle, but im starting to think it might be the amp itself. i tried playing whilst holding on to the handle so it couldnt rattle, and i still heard it. not good.

Did you try tightenign the screws under the plastic that holds the handle?? it may not be the actual handle but the screws or the plasic hiding the screws..
