Stevem,
You make me feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one with an amp with this problem. This amp did not have a thump until I shotgun approached the components to get rid of an occasional crackle. I suspected a carbon comp and proceeded to change them all until the crackle disappeared..(which it did). In my shotgun install, I also changed every tantalum to aluminum electrolytic and new transistors after I read somewhere that the newer transistors were much quieter than the old.
I don't know what version you have, but my board does not have the elusive Q131 and associated mod on the board. I have a transistor at the extreme corner of the board where the grey (reverb) wire is attached.
Amp plays so well, reverb works, tremolo works with a thump in the background..... Confused
