Timeline for my Fender Super Champ X2 makes a whooshing sound, will new tubes fix this?

At high-school age, he fixed a similar static-y sound in his neighbor's radio by swapping tubes so the slow-heating one controlled the gain, and the noise from the fast-heating one was suppressed. | |

If swapping tubes doesn't fix the problem, you need an amplifier technician to fix it unless you already have some experience working with electronic circuits. | |
