Mark V Footswitch EQ button Problems

[mikeboogie101]

Hi Everyone,

First time posting. I recently bought a new Mark V. I love it. I am however having a problem with the footswitch.

When the cable is even just slightly touched down the EQ option goes off. Even when I pick it up and the weight of the cable pushes down, the EQ goes off. Everything else stays normal.

Does anyone else have this problem? It seems like a loose connection with a pin.

Thanks.

Mike

So it's not the footswitch?

in my case it was one end of the cable the problem... one end of the cable didn't have a good contact.

try inverting the cable conections from the amp to the footswitch.

good luck

I had the same issue. I brought it into GC where I bought my V and they swapped out the cable no problem.

Thanks, I am going to get a new cable from my dealer and hope that works.

I can't get the footswitch to turn the EQ on or off. I know the footswitch is good as I took it it to the store and tried it on another amp. Cable maybe... Thoughts?

The new cable didn't work after all. I was able to get a new footswitch and that worked.

Thanks for the info. I have noticed that if I don't plug in mine completely snug the EQ is a little finnicky. I'll keep an eye on it...
