Ax2 212 popping static sound when turned on

So, I am very inexperienced in just about everything here. Music, amps, equipment, sound engineering, electronics, everything. So talk to me like I’m 5. 
When I was a teenager, I had my dad’s ax2 212 in my room and messed around with it every now and then when I was just ebbing on my intro to music. When I moved out, the amp came with me and ended up in storage for 7 years unused. I finally dig it out after a recent renewal of music interest and I’m trying to get it up and running.

 

Any time I turn the amp on it will be quiet for 1-2 seconds and then give the loudest pop/crackle/static sound. Even if all knobs are at 0 and nothing but the pedal plugged in (via the cat5 cable). I haven’t tried keeping it on for longer than a few seconds because I have shared wall neighbors and sleeping babies. 
I’d greatly appreciate any suggestions on how I can go about troubleshooting this nostalgic amp to try to salvage it.
