Crackling Aguilar Agro

Quick question. I recently got a Aguilar Agro. Really liking the sound but I've noticed a crackling sound with the pedal. it shows up as the signal decays from the bass. Once I mute the strings it goes away and doesn't come back till hit another note. Not really noticeable in the middle of a riff or chord but as the note hangs you can hear it and it is more noticeable at higher gain settings. It's not the end of the world but I just want to know if it's part of the circuits design or if I have a bum pedal.

Thanks!!
