Aguilar TH500 Cracking/Popping issue

Hi all,

I have an Aggy Th500 that I absolutely love, running through a Bergantino 4x10 but has a little issue at low volume
If Aguilar's master volume knob was labeled as being from 0-10 (mine doesn't go up to 11) then:
0 - no volume
1 - quite loud
2 - very little volume
3-10 works fine (actually never got it past the 3/4 mark)
When moving the master volume knob from 0 to 2, it makes crackling noises which are quite loud too, but anything over that, the amp works fine.
It really isn't much of an issue because I never use this volume setting, but I still would like to know if it's something seriously wrong that I should get looked at

Anyone has any similar problems?
