A few observations...
Played a little more and the crackling seem to happening when playing as well.
The editor doesn't have an input clipping but the meter on the FM3 input1 does get on the red.
I play a Ibanez SA 160 on the humbucker position.
It seems to me that the input is very hot.
Crackling (which I'm more than sure now it's clipping) disappears if either the input block output level is lowered a few db or the amp block input trim is brought down to maybe 8-9 (0.15-0.2).
Moved everything back to default (output level of the input block and the input trim to the amp) and pressed the setup button.
Changed the input config input1 Pad from 0 to 18db and noticed the red led was not turning on any longer (no clipping). Tried the input 2 - same
For a well defined tone I still had to bring the input trim and input drive down in the amp (Angle Severe 2). Usually I keep the master volume to around 1:00 - 1:30 for nice power amp distortion.
I'm pretty sure with 3.1 I never seen the red led blinking so my guess is that for my configuration somehow the inputs got hotter.
Not sure what to learn from this. Oh - I did dial the bias excursion to 100 wherever I've seen it (pre and power) but the input clipping is happening nonetheless (tamed by the 18db pad now).
