1/4" jack on output 1 noise

Hello,
Purchased an fx3 and still own an ax8.
First post, but read threads on here often.
I am getting intermittent crackling noise from the output 1 1/4" jacks.
I have properly gain staged input 1,
Settings are:
anolog.
A/D level at 75%, doesn't hit red on meter.
Have tried -10 and +4.
Gain staged PA preamp, PFL meter solid at 0 db, peaks at +3 db when strings are hit hard.
Output is set to stereo.
I have already replaced cables and am decent at troubleshooting but am having difficulty figuring this one out.

I have an ax8 and have not had this issue ever.
The problem is intermittent and seems to only be the right jack on output 1.

Any questions or suggestions are more than welcome.
I have been recording via usb into ableton and am absolutely loving the axe fx3 so far..... but this noise is driving me mad lol!
It is not a ground loop noise.
The noise is a crackle, and signal is completely lost sometimes.
Very reminiscent of a faulty cable.
Any help is appreciated.
PS.
I have created a preset with just
Input1 straight to output1, nothing added.

Ended up being 2 stereo channels on my mixer went out.....
Weird timing, I have been using that channel for a couple years, glad there are no problems with the axe fx 3 though!
