I had the crackling issue before on my mark iv and i tried everything to fix it before taking it to a tech. I had tried new tubes, cleaning sockets, new cables and nothing fixed it. The crackling wasnt always there all the time, sometimes it would be just fine other times it crackled the whole...

do you have a price that you would want to sell it for? or just trades?

it was a broken solder joint on pin 8 of tube socket. And my amp is still under warranty so the fix was free :D

Heres an update. Well I ended up taking the amp to get repaired and it was a broken power tube socket. I have had the amp back for a few days now and it sounds better than ever. The tech said since it was broken the 1 power tube prob wasnt functioning all the time just going in and out. When I...

What cleaning products do you guys use when cleaning off your amp head, cab, guitar cases? Or do you just use a damp cloth?

Did it crackle constantly or just every once in awhile? I havent tried the cleaner on it yet, but it hasnt crackled since Thursday.

I tapped the head lightly a few more times to see if it would still do it...

I tried that, it still crackles just not quite as much when switched to class A. So I guess I need to replace the outer tubes again then. If thats the case could there be some other issue thats causing the outer tubes to fail so quick? The reason I ask is because I bought the amp in august, all...

I need some help guys, my mark iv has been making a crackling noise and I cant pin it down to which tube or tubes are making the noise. The tubes are all about 6months old, except the 2 6l6 outer tubes, which were replaced in september. I replaced them because I had el34s in and 1 went bad...
