I have the Fremen synth chordal pad / drone presets (for soloing over). Sometimes when I power up the unit on and the synth preset automatically loads up I get a sudden loud screechy tearing oscillating glitchy noise coming through my speakers & the output meters spike up & flash red
(regardless of the output level dial setting). Turning the output level dials to 0 doesn't prevent this noise once it has started. I have to switch the unit off and on to stop it, or I have to keep my monitors off at power up to avoid being caught out by the sudden noise which settles down once the Leds settle down.
It's only happened a few times but im scared it may damage my monitors or the Ax Fx. Any ideas on what is happening or advice to stop this? None of the standard presets or general amp presets do this at power up, just the ones with the synth automatically engaging the drone.
Just to clarify, switching to the synth preset while navigating the menu doesn't cause this. Only when the machine boots and powers up to the preset.
