In order for this to happen, your amp must be turned on prior to you inserting the empeg. The amp should not turn on until AFTER the empeg is inserted. This is controlled by the blue remote wire from the empeg that goes back to the amp.


That's all nice in theory, but not in practice. My home-office empeg uses the amp-remote wire to power on it's amp, and has always gotten the exact same thump. Maybe this wouldn't happen with a slower/faster (to power on) amp, or with an amp that incorporates it's own set of relays for this purpose.
