Ampeg SVT3pro Help -- Pop on startup... everything else good

[jvanick]

With more use, my SVT3pro has started popping on startup...

it seems to be a dc pop of some sort as it causes the speakers in my cabinet to extend pretty far before balancing out... after the initial startup pop, everything is perfect, amp sounds like it always has, etc...

Can somebody direct me to the most likely failed component?

I'm guessing a relay or a maybe a cap has gone out?

Thanks in advance!

Bump... Anybody have any ideas?

Is it just an initial pop? I think every amp does this. I usually dont plug in my bass until the amp powers up for this reason.

 

[jvanick]

even if the bass isn't plugged in it does it....

but it's pretty extreme... like it's going to blow the speaker cabinet.
