So just recently, maybe in the past 3 days. I have noticed my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe has a crackle in the sound. My Hot Rod is approximately one year old.

I play usually at 2, or 1 1/2. I play higher for band practice every so often...


Any ideas what so ever why I am getting this crackle? :?

Start with your cables, and eliminate them as a source. You may need to re-tube the amp if its not a cable

Like firststrat said check the cables first or try another guitar. I would go for the speaker next, make sure all connections are tight then, while the amp is on, tap each tube lightly with a pencil eraser. If it's a tube, the offending tube may duplicate the the noise.
If not, you could possibly have bad solder joints on the tube sockets. Or dirt in the pots. How old is the amp?
Lots of things can cause crackling.
