Chew on this...a semi-related problem/question.

Scott	Chew on this...a semi-related problem/question. So I have a Line 6 MM4. Great unit. They modeled all the sounds quite well(I'll retract my statement about the UniVibe patch...it just took some tweaking). Here's my problem...when using the Vibratone patch I get a loud pop when I turn it off. At first I thought the switch was bad and sent it back to Line 6. BTW, their repair department is painfully slow. When it came back, it still had the same problem so the store just swapped it for a new one. When I got it home, it still popped. As if that wasn't enough, it seems that it pops no matter what switch I assign it to. The Vibratone patch itself seems to have an inherent pop to it! Does that make sense? None of the other effects do that no matter where I assign them. I was thinking about contacting Line 6, but I don't want to give up the unit for another 5 weeks. Any thoughts on this? Anyone have the same problem?
