Guitar question: I've got an Ibanez RG solid body. When I play hard (as in hitting the strings with greater force), I'm getting some bad crackly sound. It only happens on the distortion channel of my Marshall MG-15. I've ruled out the guitar cable. I'm guessing bad guitar input jack, pickups, or strings bouncing off the fretboard?

From what I'm aware of, I'm still alive. There's just nothing for me to really update, for now. If you want to see my every move, I'm pretty active on Bluesky, my username is literally just my website, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.

there might be some interference around you, dirty connections, or some bad wiring in the amp, not sure though, I use a Fender Spider II Line 6 amp. Used to have a Marshall, not sure what kind, but I sold that. Wasn't the right amp for me. But yeah I recommend checking to see if the connections are dirty, any electromagnetic interference around you, and if it comes down to it, check the internals of the amp.
Not an expert in amp maintenance just so you know. Also if all else fails you should probably take it to a guitar shop or something.
@the-when Funny I did take the guitar to a tech who said it looked fine (they tightened the input jack), but did mention LED light interface, which I do have several of in the room. I should test by playing in a different room. Thanks for the info.
That may work, not 100% sure though.
