Hi again,

I opened the synth today, and discovered a sizeable ball of lint/hair
etc right behind the output jack. Removed this and had a good clean
in there, and checked the solder joints: they appear fine. I thought
this had fixed the problem, as I plugged it in before putting it back
together and it sounded fine. Then once I'd got it all back together
and returned to its place I had the crackling again. I'm just going
to plug it in again back on the workbench and see what happens. It'd
be a real head-scratcher if it was something near the synth causing
the trouble.

Cheers,
-Josh
