The last months my amp has been acting pretty weird. If playing heavy, or just loud enough on clean for about 40-60 minutes, it start making crackling noises and has sudden volume drops. At first I thought a tube had gone, but a amp technician has changed the tubes twice, and when I came back the third time, he gave up! He didn`t manage to get the bad noises him self, therefore not being able to repair anything.
So I now present to you, the terrible sounds it makes. And I exaggerated a bit, for example by using the octave pedal on the low B, just to provoke the amp to make the noise clearly. Sorry for clipping by the way, to high mic volume
