Help - Preset Causing Strange "Crackling" When Using 2 Amp Blocks

[bread]

I have 2 presets attached - one which has 2 amp blocks that creates a strange "crackling" noise and another that has one amp block which doesn't crackle.

Does anyone know why this is the case as I've used 2 amp blocks before and not had a problem, it's just with this preset.

I'm running Q5.0 and have a FRFR setup with the output 1 echoed to output 2.

Thanks

Not at afx right now to check the presets, but how's your CPU utilization on the preset with two amps? I've heard crackling with CPU up in the 92%+ range before... maybe the two amps is pushing you over the cpu limit? If you're right at the edge, disconnecting the USB might help.

That's usually excessive CPU usage.

Loaded the preset. CPU load is too high.

It was showing 92% so I thought it might be OK.

Looks like I need to remove some stuff.

Thanks for your help.
