When i got mine, my buddy also bought a AC30HW head. Awesome amp. Sound is all there, amazing cleans, and LOUD! But it had this ghosting that plagued him. Really could have gigged it and been done with it, but my anal buddy had to have it sussed, so he had it away for a warranty repair.
Guy adds some filtering and put a feedback cap across one stage, cant remember where. Came back great.
My 15 was a 1x12 TV combo with a blue. Brilliant gigger.

Try a hummdinger on the heater wires, a cheap and quick mod.
