I recently noticed this weird "issue" that happens with both of Mark V amps, under the same circumstances. It's on channel 1, using a really clean "fat" John Petrucci clean setting. Have the EQ set to footswitch, with the preset/slider knob set to preset, and the preset depth maxed out.
Try playing some chords on the clean channel, and switch the preset/slider switch back and forth (but don't actually have the EQ activated) and see if there's not a faint amount of crackling in the background of your playing when the switch is on "preset" mode? It's faint but it's definitely there on both amps, but ONLY when it's switched to preset, with the depth maxed, and the EQ itself off. It's really strange and I'm not sure what to make of it given the fact that you'd think adjusting knobs and switches while they're not actually affecting the tone wouldn't cause any additional noise.
Thw fact it's happening with both amps makes me think it's an overlooked design flaw and not an issue with an individual amp. Anyone else try this and get the same results?
