Bought a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 212 Limited ED, Type PR246 from a guy on Craigslist. It was still in the box when I bought it and had never really been played. I did one gig with the amp and a week after that gig it started to make loud and uncontrollable crackling/popping noises whenever it was taken off standby. It sounded like someone was taking a 1/4" cable and jabbing it in and out of the amplifiers input really really fast. It happens somewhat randomly, even if all the gains are set to zero.

Has anybody else had this problem and is this an easy fix? If not how much should I expect to pay to get it fixed?

Check for bad solder joints around the tube sockets. Re-flow any that look suspicious.

The most likely suspect are the tubes. The easiest thing to try would be to substitute a known good tube into each position one at a time.
