My amp is crackling and volume drops in and out randomly. Also if I lightly hit it when this problem is occurring it will go back to normal. What is happening?

Hit the top with a wrench!

No, what happens when you move the jack around in the input? Does that effect the problem at all? Is there anything you can do to make the problem worse?

A little more information would help. What happened when the issue started? Are the tubes old or new? Could it be the speakers/cab? Have you tested different cables? Is anything running into the amp, like an effects board? Does it happen with different guitars?

I'm pretty sure it's a tube problem. Check and see if all of your Power tubes are lit. It could also be a preamp tube going bad.
