My Fender Hot Rod amp was working fine, a long time ago. It has been sitting in my room not being used for a year or so. I brought it down to the basement to play last night, and it started making a crackling noise. I think it is coming from the inputs (I've tried both) because the noise increases when I jiggle the cable. Anyone have this problem? I shot some cleaner into the inputs and let it sit for a few minutes to see if it might just be dust, but the problem still persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the noise increases when you jiggle the cables, I'd start by getting new/better cables. Fender makes some decently nice cables that I've been using for about a year without problems. If you dont mind spending 30ish dollars on a cable, I'd suggest fulltone. Also, I wouldn't spray any more cleaner into the amp inputs. I would think the liquid mixing with electronics would do more harm than good. If the new cables fail, it might be the speaker. Hope it works out for ya!
