So I finished building my crack plus speedball a few days ago and I noticed that there is a pretty noticeable crackling type noise that continues for only about 3 minutes and then it completely goes away. Like the crack sounds amazing after those couple minutes. Tapping the crack doesn’t mess with the buzz but it does stay when nothings connected and the volumes all the way down. I know it’s not the interference type of buzz, it’s more of a crackling sound in both sides. I’m going to reflow all the joints tomorrow but just wanted to see if you guys had a general idea of where to start.

Solder joints would be a good place to start.  If this was happening before the Speedball was installed, I would take the Speedball out and put the amp back to stock to make it easier to debug.
