I have had a popping issue with this amp when changing channels since I got it. I am taken it to a local Fender repair tech. tomorrow to has this looked at as it's still under warranty. Take a listen and tell me what you think. It this video I notice the popping when going to channel 2 to channel 1. The other day is was popping when going to channel 3. Just want to get your guys opinion. Thanks

 
mine didn't make any popping noises switching channels. it was new out of the box too. cool amp, too bad the tone was just meh.
 
I think that was a problem on the older ones. I'm sure someone will chime in with the solution soon. I love mine.
 
I don't own one but have heard about the issues from some people and have heard that others have had no pops at all.
 
Mine pops too, but it's only audible in complete silence, so I don't give a s#&t. Some say the relays or the caps attached to the relays are microphonic.
 
i don't remember mine popping when i had it, there was some sort of click sometimes but hardly noticeable, and i doubt in a band context people would hear anything but if it's under warranty might as well get it sorted

it didn't really shock me in the video, heard amps that had far less popping syndrome
 
mine pops a little bit, but at gig volumes with my band the popping is not audible.
