Fired up the Z thismorning, and it's making some random farting out noises. Generally when hitting the strings a little harder and on the low E there's a drop in volume and brittle distortion in the signal.
When played softly and clean it's fine.
Suggestions? Figured I'd ask here before pulling it all apart.

Suspect: tubes, cables, and cabinet.

Ok, seem to have fixed it.
What do you suppose the odds are that a power tube vibrated out of the socket? When I popped the back off one of the power tubes looked a little tilted, so I reseated all of them and fired up the amp, no more problem.
Thanks for the ideas guys! And the link to the troubleshooting guide.

Just getting it bumped around could have loosened up the tube. Glad it was an easy fix!
