*************************
hey,

I have a marshall 1987X, 50 watt EL34s. It sort of crackles and fizzes when you play. You can only notice if you play super soft, its in the back ground. If you are not playing, the amp is quiet. The sound out of the amp is fine, except for this faint crackling, fizzing. It sounds like when a cable crackles, only I know my cable is good and this only occurs when the amp is making sound....any idea what I should be looking for ?
 
It could be that one or more tubes need to be replaced. Or you may need to clean and tighten the tube sockets.
