So I was playing tonight for 2 1/2 hours and I got 3 random 3-7 second bursts of static spread out over that time. Fairly loud static. I looked at the power tubes once as it was happening and they all looked ok - just a yellow/orange glow on the bottom. Couldn't see the preamp tubes from the top. My first impression was tubes (this has happened the past three or four times I used the amp) but I wonder if it could be radio interference. The reason I say that is that I moved it a while back and was getting radio through the amp occasionally. I don't get radio voices anymore but maybe it's some kind of interference. Maybe it's tubes but it doesn't seem to be getting worse as in dying completely or even more often. I'm not gigging so I'm waiting for it to die but it's not. Thoughts anyone?
