Richie	Re: BF Champ Static/Crackling """ I suspect it maybe with the preamp tube socket, cold solder joint I may have missed or input jack related""" Sounds like what you described,a loose connection,or solder joint,ground. Might do some tapping on the chassis,see if you hear the noise happen. componet vibration can also cause it,certian frequencies or notes played. Maybe try the amp out of the cab. Make sure the input jacks nuts are tight,and the jack switch contacts are good,and cleaned.. Richie
