Have got a big problem with my Mark Iv today. :(
My amp make a BIG fu...ing noise like a Hhhhiiiisshhhh on every channel and it's worst when i use the EQ,
all the volume or gain knob make a big crack when i turn it. When i unplug my guitar the noise still there and when i move the slider of the EQ up and down the noise frequency (the Hish) follows the slider.

There someone have the same problem before ?
 
Check the preamp tubes. With the amp turned on and making the hissing sound try tapping them one at a time. If one of them makes a lot of extra noise then it's failed internally and needs to be replaced.

If the preamp tubes check out then do the same test with the power tubes.
 
The couple of times that has happened to me, it was the tubes.
