Pop when I turn off amp.

[toneseeker74]

My amp started to make a loud pop when I turn the power off. What can cause this? Thanks

Re: Pop when I turn off amp.

I believe it's just sound of electron flow thru the speakers and you hear the noise.
Are you playing your amp at a higher volume now?
Try turning the volume down and see if it still pops..
What kind of amp is it? Tube or solid state? Brand and model helps too.

Traynor YBA-1. Happens at all volume levels.

I saw your "troll" comment in my other post, and I don't appreciate it. I wrote three threads today because I got no replies to the detailed thread I started yesterday that asks about all three issues.

I apologize for that.. My bad, I answered this one and saw the other one and thought you were trolling.

Too be honest, some of the Traynors and Marshalls are kinda known for that pop. I think that is inherent with some of the older amp designs and a Traynor is basically a Canadian Plexi.
Great amps! I don't think this will hurt anything and electrically it could be anything from a cap discharging to a blast of voltage going to ground?
I don't know why it just started doing it, I can't explain that. I had a JCM900 SLX with EL-34 and it always popped when I shut it off. Played other JCMs adn some popped some didn't.
Electricity is an unforgiving beast, she goes where she wants to on her search for ground..

The manual for my El Diablo advises to always turn the volume down before turning the amp off (or on, to play it safe...)

It shouldn't pop if you turn it on standby first. Then when you power down, you just hear the sound dwindle down.

Congratulations

I don't know what beef you and Kramersteen have with me, but I ask that you knock off the rude replies. If either of you had looked through the posts from earlier this week you would have seen that I submitted one very detailed post asking for help on three problems I am having with my amp. Nobody replied. So the following day I wrote three shorter posts, each asking about a single problem. In less than an hour I started getting replies. Several of the replies asked for information that I had supplied in my initial post. I gave the requested information rather than a snotty "I already wrote all this down. Look at my other post." I think that I asked legitimate questions, and I appreciate the helpful responses I received. As for those of you who chose to not be helpful, please revisit Basic Manners 101.
