Later, I decided to turn it back on and see if it was any better but it would start popping after about 10 - 20 seconds of warming up. I noticed that if I lightly tapped the outside of the amp it would pop. Eventually it stopped and now the amp is silent.

I didn't see any smoke and I had a look at the PCB and there seems to be no blown out components. I was just wondering if the tubes in the amp have blown (if so, which one? or both?), and if there's a sure way to figure it out or not. I have experience with electronics but know very little about tubes.]]> From Here to There Steve-0 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/snap-crackle-and-pop/#post-36970
