Makes Popping Sounds

[zrAC/DC]

I built my kit in January of 2009 and it hasn't had a problem since, but recently when I flick the amp from standby to on the only output that the amp makes is a popping sound, at first I suspected the tubes might be going so I swapped all preamp tubes individually and nothing changed, but when I wiggle V2 while the amp is on the popping noises gets worse.

Also to note some of the preamp tubes I swapped in that I know are good there was no popping and no output of the amplifier at all. Any suggestions of where to start are appreciated greatly I am guessing there is a solder joint somewhere that wasn't flowed properly and finally went but I don't know if anyone else has any suggestion I could try.

THANKS A TON! Btw anyone know where I can find a 100 watt plexi kit? I was saving up for one when they stopped doing them

Mojo and Ceriatone might be a good starting point for the 100 watt kit.

As for the amp problems, maybe start with reflowing the solder joints on the preamp tube sockets.
