I have a Fender Deville 212 amp that is about 5-6yrs. old and it is now randomly making cracking noises as well as randomly loosing volume? What could be wrong and how do i fix it? Costs? Can I do it myself easily?

Sounds like a loose connection somewhere. Maybe as simple as the input jack.

Probably an inexpensive repair. Take it to a local place you trust that has a good reputation.

After you rule out the obvious like, bad patch cord, dirty input jacks or tubes, it could be bad solder joints on the power tubes. That's what happened to my HRDlx. I had the same symptoms. Also make sure both power tubes are glowing.

If a tube is not seated right it can cause headaches. Are you playing near a computer or have a cell phone on your belt ? Tube amps pick up unwanted signals but check all the tubes first and make sure their all plugged in.

My 212 suffered a momentary loss of power and it was just that one of the tubes had got loose.
