Take the equalizer out...

of the circuit and see if you still get the distortion--I'm betting you won't.

I've had more than one equalizer in my various systems over the years and found that nearly all contributed distortion of one form or another. Removing the equalizer always solved the problem, so I go without.

Also, remember that the sliders for each band are usually linear potentiometers and can collect crud just like the rotating variety and the crud can be the source of distortion; even when not being moved.

Good luck!
