A 360/12 Warble

Out of nowhere I am hearing this 'warble' effect coming out of my 360/12. I am running it through a Vox AC-30, and none of my other guitars are putting out this effect, just the 360. The sound is like an intentional bending on a note. It's not as noticable on chords but I can't figure out what it is. A guess?
A cure? An exorcist?

It's the ghost of Buddy Holly with dual overhead cams and glasspacks...

It's the AC30, Stan. It's so happy to have a Rick plugged into it, it's singing along!!
Seriously, I'm sorry but I have no idea.

All I can suggest is that you carefully check your intonation. You guitar may be creating harmonic frequencies that manifest sympathetic oscillation of adjacent strings.

Great name for a lounge act, Brian.
"Harmonic Frequencies That Manifest Sympathetic Oscillation of Adjacent Strings"
...better that than "Holiday Inn for Strings".

Love those buzz words. Try sticking any three together at random

You know----------------------------
It could be as simple as:
One of your pickups is going microphonic.
Hmmmm Not sure of that one but it's worth a try. Try isolating each pickup from the circuit and playing a few notes. My bet though is that you are experiencing weird harmonic frequencies from a source on your guitar or closeby.
Have you tried moving your AC30 to another room? Perhaps your room is the guilty party in some way

A friend of mine just commented. Tell him to turn the tremelo off. He's a Vox enthusiast and knows about such things.
