Hey, I've had an ampeg svt-3 for about 2 years now and just today it started to crackle real bad when playing. I know that this is a common sign that the tubes need to be replaced but i didn't think that the tubes would be dying already (there the factory tubes, im not sure what kind they are). It doesnt sound like the problem is with the speakers but i can't be sure. Is two years a reasonable amount of time to have to replace the tubes? do you think that's the problem? thanks
