Mark V Channel Switching & You!

[marcg71]

Are you getting pops when switching (outside of the 10w-90w settings, documented scenarios). Essentially pops when you are not supposed to get them?

I had a head, and tested a combo for 3 hours (now waiting on a combo )...and neither popped

No pops here.I had a couple early on but nothing since.

I'd look into new tubes if it concerns you that much...I too get popping sometimes...but I don't care...call Mesa see what they have to say

No pops here. Smooth sailing so far.

I have pops when all channels are in 10W. And sometimes on other wattage too.
And I am not talking about going from and to 10W like explained in the manual. So I assume they may be abnormal.

I have discovered that they become less powerful when I cycle the channels in higher wattage (45w or 90w) with the amp turned on and not in standby, then come back to 10W. They become softer but still there.

Since it cannot damage the amp in anyway, I don't bother too much for now, hoping that a new set of tubes would eventually fix it.

No pops here, however I usually run at the full 90 watts on full power almost all the time, my Roadking II on the other hand, pops every once in awhile, even when they are all linked to 4 x 6L6.

I haven't had any noticeable popping between channels in 90 or 45 watt, full or variac power. 10 watt, I notice it.
