BE-100 popping noise when playing

[Waldo Nova]

I am hearing a popping noise, sometimes sounds like static, every few seconds at any volume (although it's more audible at lower volume) when playing. Not sure if this is a tube issue or not. Anyone experienced this before? How did you fix it? I'm hoping preamp tube at the worst. Thanks!

Sounds like a preamp tube. Try swapping one at a time with a known good one starting with V1.

That's what I thought too.

I'm having this same issue with my small box. Please let me know if it's the preamp or power tubes...

It stopped making the noise... thinking it may have been the power or something else. Still looking out for it.
