Fender Frontman popping out

I've got a Fender Frontman 25R amp thats having some issues. If driven at moderate levels there is a loud series of pops and static until either the amp is shutdown or smacked. Anyone else have this problem? I'm just curious as to where to start looking. Thanks.

Sounds like a bad connection and most likely on the filter caps. Mark your connectors and pull the board out then touch up as many if not all of the solder joints. Inspect the input jacks also and see if you can gently wiggle and see a gap in the solder joints. Not a hard amp to take apart. You will have to pull all of the pot knobs and nuts holding them on.
