Golden Tube SE 40 Hiss and Pop problem - Thoughts?


My golden tube se40 is hissing and popping from one channel, and it's getting worse. Anything come to mind?

I know this is a badly designed amp, but I like the sound, just hate the reliability.

For some reason, I'm thinking this was indicative of caps or resistors, forget which. If it was just a tube, I'd be very happy, and need to dianose that.

Thanks,

Have you tried reversing the tubes, channel to channel and see if the sound follows the tubes? If not, do so first. If that fails my guess would be a cap but you're going to need a techie to fix it.
