Pop Sound with Distortion menu

[mattko16]

Hello L6 Helix Forum,

 

Quick troubleshooting question for my LT.

When I scroll into the distortion/Overdrive menu section, I always hear a loud pop when I hit the first model. I believe it’s the new Deranged Master which comes up 1st.

Anyone else experience this issue?

is this just do to that model being 1st engaged and it’s boost qualities?

Thanks for any input!

I'll check on my Helix floor tonight.

 

What are your blocks before and after your distortion block in question?  What input are you using (std guitar, Variax, Aux, etc.)?

are you passing audio from the input when you scroll? I hear dropouts/pops if I'm playing while scrolling through various FX.

Thanks for the inputs!

I have no blocks before the distortion block. After the block is my amp and cab. The input is set for just my guitar. 

 

I have no audio passing through either. Just some low hiss coming from speaker I hear. 

 

Its as as soon as I hit the deranged master block (second in the distortion blocks list) is when the him jumps a bit at me. I wonder if it’s just the default drive level set at 7.7 which causes that jump?
