Turn on, turn off

That's what I said to do. I think we got our wires crossed somewhere.

Right, I was doing that and eliminated hearing the pop when shutting down.  I was just curious to know if the pop is sign of a problem or a design quirk.  As for crossing wires, I think they are in my brain, not the amp!  Chemo saves your ass but fries your brain!  Ain't medicine wonderful?  Yep, it is!

Chatted with the techie from Mesa (in California) today.  He said the pop is normal with the Prodigy and that I should hit the standby switch first before powering down.  I asked him if this was a design thing and he said yes, but obviously didn't want to tell me just what.  Probably just as well, he would only have confused me!  I'm trusting him at this point and plowing forward.  The amp is working great.

Tried a bass out at the shop today on one of those new Fender Bassman all tube amps and guess what happened when I shut it off?  POP!  I felt right at home.
