    That's brilliant. I was still hitting the note that makes the rattle and trying to hunt it down with my free hand. Pich, hunt... Pick, hunt. ha ha.

      Yeah there sure is. I found that with my tweed tremolux clone, if you put the speaker on the wrong secondary by one knotch (in my case I had the 8R speaker in the 16R tap) and switch it on and turn up the volume and trem speed and depth to maximum it makes a low-frequency chopper-like motor-boating sound (not unlike a Bell Iroquois) that is excellent for quickly breaking the speaker in. About 5 mins of this and the G12 that I (eventually) put in it sounds pretty damn heavenly.
