Very cool, a representative from Axiom responded to my post and states that the popping/crackling sound is an instability issue with the V1 amp and the V2 amp will be out of beta soon and they will send me one to check out in my ep800.

I suppose if it's broke maybe it's time to fix it, once we transcend beta, eh? \:\)

Axiom rules, I didn't even call to complain, how's that for product support!
