Hi, My Mark V has developed a strange problem. There is a static sound present, sort of sounds like popping (sort of like a bad power tube rustling sound, or a little like when your cell phone interferes with older sound equipment). I have rolled all tubes, disabled fx loop, disconnected guitar and the sound is still there. All power levels, all modes it is still present. I moved the amp to a different floor of the house, hooked up a different cab, but the static is still there.
So, what is really weird.. It is most prominent on Tweed and Channel 3. In Tweed mode, with the gain at zero, the static is still there (gain setting has no effect). However, in Channel 3, with the gain at zero there is no static and with the gain at 12 o'clock the static is there. The static is not very noticable on Bold or Channel 2 any mode (present, but not as strong as in Tweed or Channel 3).
I've contacted Mesa but I'm curious if anyone here has any idea what this could be?
Thanks,
Mace
