Sansamp - crackles when first plugged in

As above, when I first connect my Sansamp up and hit a few notes it crackles and there`s a lot of distortion on the sound, but after half a minute or so this goes and it works fine. I`ve changed the battery, as thought it might be due to the one in there being old, but it still does it. Any ideas?

Try a squirt or two of switch cleaner

This could be the thing. I recommend using a Caig DeOxit product rather than Servisol Switch cleaner etc. Get it onto the input jack connections and rub with a cotton bud.Maybe do this a few times. Then use IPA (alcohol/not beer :-) and allow to dry off for a few minutes. If still a problem - same on output connector. Basically the input connections can oxidise - even signal voltage can be enough to break this down but in absence of signal it can become non-conductive again.Sounds odd but have had same on mixing desk insert points. Good luck...
