The quiet “pop” sound when switching on the AMP1
If you've recently used the AMP1 and noticed a "popping" sound when turning it on, you're not alone. This sound occurs twice in a row after turning it on.
This "pop" sound is a sign that the power amplifier's protection circuit is coming into action. Many modern amplifiers, including the AMP1, have protection measures built in to ensure the safety and longevity of the unit. When you turn the amplifier on, this circuit activates, resulting in the audible "pop" sound.
Enjoy playing and rest assured that your AMP1 is working exactly as it should!
