Amp: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe

Problem : when playing crackling/ really annoying noise comes from amp.

Now I have only noticed the problem since I was playing around last night and a fairly low volume. I didn't notice it on the weekend at the show, however the amp was obviously turned up alot more.

I've checked all my cables one by one, as well as each pedal and finally took apart both guitars. No grounding problems or power related problems were found anywhere. Which leaves the amp.

I checked all the speakers connections and all input connections. Doesn't seem to be any problems. My last thought is tube related. The tubes look OK so I'm thinking it might be the socket? Any thoughts?
