New Axe-Fx user here, had it for less than a couple weeks and up against an issue with the unit. Been in touch with g66 and they're picking it up next week but I wanted to find out if anyone else has run into this - search didn't help.
I first ran the Axe-Fx through a M-Audio Firewire Solo via unbalanced outputs and into headphone monitors. After 20-30 minutes I started hearing constant crackling only when I play. This is not clipping, although the input levels clip with the crackling. Didn't think much of it because I was ordering a new interface.
So my new Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 arrived yesterday and I'm experiencing the same problem. This time I used the balanced outputs so it's a completely new set of cables - that confirms it's not the interface, cables or guitars. Turned down the output level down to 9 o' clock but the output volume of the crackling does not change and I can see the input clipping.
What's weird is that it works perfectly for 20-30 minutes before the crackling kicks in.
Anyway, hoping this gets sorted out by g66 soon.
