I just sold and sent a Z28 2x10 cabinet to a guy. He wrote to say it arrived in perfect cosmetic shape, but that there is a audible distortion/ghost tone at all volume levels, and especially notable if you strike a harmonic on the 6th string, 7th fret...
Any idea's what this could be? I'm hoping it's just a tube that got damaged and needs replacement. Any other possible causes? This thing was perfect fine prior to shipment. Thanks

My guess would be bad tube. The first Z28 I played made some real funny noise that progressively got worse with volume and time. It was a brand new amp that I took out of the box myself. Turned out to be a bad 6v6. ArnieZ

Also he might want to tighten all of the screws. Shipping can vibrate things loose.

Phew, turns out it was just a power tube issue and all is right with the world again. Thanks for the responses. Thanks.

This is precisely why I turned my Z-28 combo into a head/cab rig. The vibration was killing my tubes.

I don't own a combo amp for that reason. All my Z's are head/cab. I can't imagine what all that vibration does to EF86's in particular.

Myles states ghost notes may indicate it's time to change the filter caps.
