At band practice last Saturday night, my amp would occasionally make a "popping sound"

We play in our drummer's 2nd floor space over his garage and had to run a bunch of space heaters to keep warm, so I am wondering if the current draw from the space heaters might have anything to do with the popping sound coming from my amp; ie: when a heater would kick on, this would deprive my amp of "full power" and thus create some kind of arcing in the amp and thus the popping noise

thx!!

That's exactly what's happening.

Thx!!

Anything you can recommend that would help remedy this?? ie: surge protector? power conditioner? wait until Spring to play again?
