I found this to be exciting!! Great work!! It's just that most of us "regular guys" without electronics knowledge wouldn't know how, or would be afraid to attempt these mods, so that's probably why everyone's so quiet. We don't understand how to accomplish major feats like that.
I have a Marshall Mode Four MF350 that is similar technology(tube/hybrid) and I have a quick "pop/crack/thump"(spike) sound on powerup(no standby like tube amps), and I can't even figure that out. Marshall support hasn't been able to help. I have 2 of these and they both do it, but it's sometimes softer, sometimes harder sounding. Other than this the amps are excellent sounding-many tones can be tweaked from this beast. Do you have any clues on the spike, or is it just a solid state thing??
