I recently purchased a used Fender Vibro Champ XD. The problem is that it will intermittently develop a loud static/hissing sound with the volume dropping considerably. I put in a new 12ax7 and 6v6, but the problem persists. Any ideas on what may be causing this? I got it fairly cheap for $99 so I don't mind dropping a reasonable amount of money to get it fixed.

Thanks for any help or ideas you can provide!

Did you do the obvious things like try a different input cable and guitar?

Check for cracked solder joints around the tube sockets. Beyond that, unless you are familiar without troubleshooting and repairing amps, you should take it to a good amp tech.
