Matt – I have read a few articles, which indicate standing too close to the amp will allow this to happen. Distance is key on higher gain amp modelers. Another probable cause could be the angel of the guitar and amp. Try placing the amp further a way from you. If your amp is located behind you, may sure it’s directly behind you and your body acts like as a shield.
