Help? My 3 year old blonde tolex (MIM) Blues Jr. is breaking up intermittently (slight crackle) when a power chord is played. The amp is in an air conditioned amp room in a church setting, mic'd up and not overstressed or even moved. Every other option has been diagnosed and eliminated.
I read a previous post regarding solder connections and was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same and if that's where I should start or is it maybe a tube issue?

Thanks!

More than likely a tube problem. Try cleaning the tube sockets and reseating the tubes. If that doesn't help, try tapping each tube with a pencil eraser. If one or more of the tubes make noise replace it.
