I've been having that Channel load Popping issue when switching from OD to Clean. From about one year now ! The noise in question also affect something in the Reverb tank because it's sound similar that when you hit your amp with alot of reberb. One thing for sure this noise or transiant is cause by a deffective component.
I've recently changed the JFET (TR145) as suggested by Steve D that's control the mute when switching channels and unfortunataly it didn't fixed the issue. Maybe it's something deffective in the reberb circuit ? But witout a schematic.. it hard to tell wich parts control the reberb circuit.
I also experience another issue this time with a rattle noise that's comming from the power tubes. Specialy when I hit the "A" string or any that "A" note on my guitar.
After reviewing some previous post from other participants in this forum I find out that i'm not the only one that's having both of these issues.
So my questions... Did finaly someone found a cure from both of those issues ?
And by the way, please dont tell me to bring my amp to the nearest service center... I Already did it and they dont have a clue of what is causing those issues !
