I've had this amp approx. 3 yrs. About 1 month ago, after pushing it a little too much, I noticed static (described by others as a "farting" sound) interfering with the sound. It was very prominent. I thought (as did my bandmates) I had blown a speaker. Replaced both speakers w/ 200 watt Eminence speakers. Neither one I took out had any noticeable tears, which worried me, and rightfullly so, because the sound returned. Seems to happen once the amp warms up. Didn't push it hard this time (12 o'clock on both pre-amp and master volume). Talked to a guy at a music store, and he said that the first round of this model amp had this problem, but couldn't go into detail. I'd like to try and nail down the problem before I take it in for repair to minimize the cost and time of repair. Does anyone have any advice or familiarity w/ this problem? Thanks!
