There are some basic things you can try before you suspect the amp. Does your guitar cord work in another amp? Is your guitar sending sound through your guitar cord? Without any thing plugged into your amp can you hear a slight hiss when you turn your controls up on your amp? Here is a link to some things you can do to troubleshoot the problem:http://www.geofex.com/ampdbug/ampdebug.htm Even though the info is for tube amps a lot of it also applies to solid state (transistor) amps like yours.If it turns out to be the amp and you don't feel comfortable working on it and have no one that you know personally to do it you are best served by taking it to a certified Marshall repairman who will have the tools, parts and schematics to help you.

Why is there a faint crackle from the amp when I strum?

Assuming that the problem goes away when you plug a differebt guitart into your amp, you have a loose ground somewhere in the guitar.

The chords i strum dont show on display or sometimes the strum bar dont match up

are you in "A" _ 440? digital tuners are set in a440 as a default. if your playing chords and are down half a step. Or improperly tuned (ie: your intonation is out?) I assume you are playing guitar? then it would have trouble picking up proper signal. - if this answer doesnt help. try more specifics. what are you playing ? what display are you referencing. etc. Good luck!!

Peavey special 112 solo amp cuts out.

Unfortunatly, there could be a few different causes for this and without the amp in frony of me it would be impossible to diagnose it. The best bet would be to have a qualified repairman look at it. Here is a link to the Peavey Contact page which has a link to their service centers.

I Have a Marshall Amp and it had blew a circuit board that attaches to the fan so i replace the fuse and circuit board and now it turns on and registers the guitar cause the lights inside the amp go on...

It is what caused the fuse to pop that concerns me.
You did the correct thing looking for the source of the pop.However seeing any type of winding / coil that looks to have overheated is always a concern.
A small amount of discouloration is acceptable but should always be checked as they can cause much more damage if allowed to overheat and or short.
Many coils / transformers etc can be had off the shelf so to speak so I would start by getting a schematic and seeing if there is a value on it to measure against. or maybe from the coil itself.
test that first !If its OK then check the amplification stages.
Injecting a signal and tracing it is quite often a simple method to find out where the signal ends or is disrupted

If I strum harder on my guitar a buzzing noise comes out of the amp. Also every sound I try on the amp sounds very twangy and painful to the ears. I use an overdrive pedal with it, but every setting is...

If you don't want distortion, get rid of the overdrive pedal... Twangy USUALLY comes from the GUITAR and NOT the amp... test it on a different amp to decide... Buzzing CAN be caused by "fret buzz" which is due to IMPROPER guitar setup such as neck bend and string height.
Start using ONLY clean channel on the amp and NO reverb. If you verify that the guitar sounds bad on a different amp, take it in to have it setup properly.

Variax 600 sound goes out then comes back if i

Check your battery. A weak battery will recover a bit when you power down for a brief period. Strumming hard will overcome the weak amplification when battery is down. Check that your battery is at LEAST 8 volts.

Also verify your plug into the guitar is clean. The barrel of the plug shorts to the ring contact to connect the internal battery. Do NOT use a balanced TRS cable for your intrument as this will lead to a marginal condition.

Marshall Lead 100 Mosfet head, no sound.

are you popping fuses??? check the effects, preamp, and power amp jacks to make sure they (even if not in use) are Normally Closed. Sometimes they loose their contact to ground on the Tip of the jack, which opens the circuit and interrupts the normal function. then check the input jack for good contact to the pcb and solder joints, as well as all pots (especially the volume). if all this checks out, and it still is having issues, i would then move on to the grounding resistors (solder welds can heat up and break as these resistors get hot) and resolder them to the board. still no output, then diodes / rectifier / filter caps.

Marshall mg100hdfx loud fuzz and distortion and no guitar sound

Check your input (guitar signal).
Also, check your gain and volume levels.
Make sure that you have a reliable, steady, and clean power source as well.
If the problem persists, contact the store from which it was purchased. There are a lot of things that can go wrong internally with the cheaper Marshall models.
