My Nashville 400 has a loud "pop" when turned on at the power strip. The off/on switch on the amp is still in the "off" position. When the amp is turned on at the switch it seems normal.

I have replaced the amp switch.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

That is "normal" on that amp. It's because of the solid state power supply and the "instant" voltage to the amp.

It's been discussed several times before and even responded to by Mike Brown. It won't hurt the amp.

Jack,

Thanks for the reply. Your input is always welcome. Hope you're doing well.

This "pop" thing is something that developed over time. I didn't have it when the amp was new.

There was a discussion of this a few years ago:

On my amp, I found that turning down the gain controls and reverb control eliminated the pop...

Calvin...if you will turn everything else on(Hilton, effects, etc.) BEFORE you turn your 400 on, it should help that situation.
