Re: amp with shorting noise
Tristan,  
 
As I read the symptoms you posted, I'd first clean all of the tube sockets, all of the controls, and the jacks - especially the input. Unless there's a "sizzle" to the sound it's probably not arcing. "Scratchy" and "static" noises are usually dirty contacts somewhere.  
 
Out of curiosity, what's your tube line up?  
 
GW
