I have a Peavey Classic 30. Got it used and replaced the speaker and tubes. It make crackle noises. Okay, so I changed out patch cables, nothing. I can move around wiggle chords, it doesn't change. The only thing that changes it is how hard I strum. Hard strum=lot's of crackle, light strum=much less crackle. So, I switched guitars, same same. I've tried humbuckers, P-90's and EMG's. All do the same thing. I'm at a loss. I'm prepared to send in the amp and have Jerry take a look. But, if I'm going to go to all the trouble of shipping it to him, I would like to do some mods. Maybe a transformer upgrade to the classic 50 transformer, if that can be done, maybe some circuit mods along the lines that I've read about on blueguitar.org. What do you think I could do to make the most out of the amps potential?? Thanks for your imput. Rich

Rich, The EL84 power tubes are notorioius for making noise. Gently tap on the power tubes and see if they make noise. On the last few C30's I worked on I installed JJ EL84's and they seem to be pretty rugged tubes. Give Doug's Tubes a shout. There's all kinds of mods that can be done to a C30, it really depends on what you want to change about the amp. Jerry
