MB115 Crackling noise

I play a passive bass through a GKMB115 at a fairly low volume. Whenever I play a note through my tech 21 vt pedal which I use as a small volume boost I get a crackling noise which last about 20 seconds after every note. Also it clearly is a noise coming from the speaker and not anything inside rattling. Any ideas?
Thanks, Jack
