No the post should be in the technical section since the amp is a Fender not discussion regarding a Trainwreck amp.

(Yes, this was originally posted in the wrong forum - better to gut the amp and build a Rocket from it.)

It sounds like your "vibration" is nothing more than the transformers humming.

Does the crackling keep going after flipping the switch for a while? If you just changed tubes and the crackling started, it's possible that the tube sockets are loose. Are the new tubes the same brand as the old tubes? I'm wondering if the pins are smaller on the new tubes or dirty and not making good contact.

Try to give a better (different) description of what you are experiencing, what changes were made, and when the problem started.

It's not a TrainWreck - doesn't need to go to TrainWreck Discussion.

Should be in Shop Talk - Technical Discussion.
