I'm getting some static sound from my speakers that does not vary with the volume control. This happens intermittently and only occurs when the flat amp is in use (goes away with the jump switch on). For now, I've been bypassing the flat amp, but I'd like to use the tone controls, so I was hoping someone had a suggestion concerning the origin of the problem.
This amp has been redone according to Leestereo's fantastic thread. None of the transistors or the dual FETs have been replaced on the flat amp. The sound is pretty loud and is a combination of static and crackling along with some intermittent pops. As stated above, it does not vary with volume and goes away entirely when the jump switch is engage.
Here is the flat amp after restoration:
If anyone has any ideas on what could be causing the static sound, I'd be very grateful.
