i find that i can often get a similar effect by twanging one of the switchcraft jack inputs. if you twang the metal that goes to the tip you can often hear it coming through the amp at the same frequency and decay. it's when i start noticing things like that that i realise what a delicate signal a guitar can produce, and how much care we bother to take with it compared to say a loud keyboard.

I noticed this last night but *only if my guitar is unplugged.* If it's just FX -> amp, I can tap the jacks / plugs with screwdriver and get a very loud clanking sound through the amp. Once I plug the guitar in, though, there's no clank.

yeah. it's also pretty hard to twang a socket if there's a jack in it, so i figure it's nothing to worry about (:
