Not sure if you could help me. Recently bought a fender 65 twin reverb reissue and whenever i turn it on and let the tubes warm up and then take it off standby, this sort of loud crackling pop happens and the amp starts working. Have any of you had similar problems with your amp and how did you solve it?
oh dear this problem.
it's an arcing problem. i fixed it by a laborious trial and error process.

but mine's an oldie vintage one so some upkeep is expected. the arcing problem shouldn't happen with a new reissue one. maybe you should think about sending it back to the factory?
Send it back, friend of mine had the exact same issue. The 65 Twin Reverb is a bit notorious for that, otherwise it's a great amp. I'm sure Fender or the retailer you bought it from will replace it for you or at least fix it.
It might still have a warranty. Send it to fender and see if they will replace it for you.
