You don't happen to be at the Bedrock Studios complex, do you? Anyway, we used to practice there, and there is serious AM radio interference due to some tower in the very near vicinity. My friend's Mesa head would pick that shit up real well.

Madraso,The only other thing I can think of would be that the plate dissipation in pentode mode in an overdriven condition is potentially much higher than for ultralinear mode.
