Hello fellow Axe FX fans,
I've had this issue for a while now, and every time I think I pinpoint the issue and resolve it, it comes back either later in the day or a few days later. Whenever I play my Axe and Matrix through my Mesa 4x12, i get this really loud popping noise (sounds kinda like an insanely louder version of the Matrix's shutdown pop). At first i thought i was just playing too loud/sending too much power to my speakers, so i reduced the volume on the Matrix. After that didn't work, I tried doing the same thing with the Axe, but I still hear the popping every so often. I tried plugging the Axe Fx and Matrix into a different outlet/power strip as well, and for a while, the problem ceased. Recently however, the popping has come back and i have no idea how to resolve this.
I have my Axe Fx connect to the Matrix Via 2 Mogami Gold XLR cables, and the Matrix is connected to the Mesa via 2 Monster Speaker cables (Running the Matrix and Mesa in stereo). Like I said, I haven't the faintest idea as to why this is happening, and I'd appreciate any input/assistance you guys are willing to provide. For all I know, I'm setting stuff up horribly wrong and thats whats causing the issue. I've been wrestling with the Axe->Matrix->Guitar Cab setup for a while now just trying to get the sounds/feel I'd get from my tube amps, but i don't want to give up, as I've heard and seen loads of demonstrations of how awesome this setup can be when done properly. This popping is just driving me a wee bit mad.
Thanks in advance
