For my Grounded Grid pre-amp and Gainclone combo, I get the infamous "pop" if the amp is turned on first. Pre-amp has to warm up for 15 seconds first to allow the caps to settle.

To power off, amp must be down and out first before preamp or else I get the same "pop". But this may be specific to only my system.
