I ultimately rewired much of my amp, removed the Rx1 and Rx2 resistors and never had a recurrence of the problem. The tubes I used were good (still using 'em) and also the bias was set correctly. As I mentioned before, I think I had a bad solder joint, but I'm not 100% sure of the cause.
Any idea what causes that zapping sound? I just built my first guitar pedal (BYOC Octavia), and when I plugged it in it worked, but you can hear this faint zapping sound in the background.
HAHAHAH the car honking noise at the end made this video FC worthy. Good work David!

I had the same sound problem with my problem with my Renegade, but when I changed the power amp tubes and set the bias the problem stoped

Bad solder joints. I also removed the Rx1 and Rx2 resistors which are superfluous it seems.
