So the first thing I must say in my first thread post here is that I absolutely LOVE my Mark VII Head. I have it running through a pair of Tone Tubby Purple Haze alnicos that are in a very nicely built Friedman 2-12 cab and it sounds fantastic!!! This honestly is the nicest Boogie I have played through and I have had quite a few over the last couple decades. And of all the Marks I have owned I have never gotten one where I absolutely loved all three channels. I would never use the second rhythm channels and chose instead to just use like a TS9 with the rhy 1 clean channel, if I needed some gritty chords or slightly dirty sound. But with the VII I am doing the opposite and using my amp channels way more and my OD pedals a lot less. And I use the second channel more than anything now as it reacts great to my playing and my volume / tone knobs and also sounds really good for lead work with a tube screamer running into it.
However, the only issue that I am having is with the footswitch. I’ll look down while playing and the whole thing will be flashing like the cable came loose or something. I’ll check thinking I may have stepped on it, but nothing is loose or disconnected. It just randomly happens while I’m playing and seems to be getting more frequent. anyone else having this issue? Idk if it’s something with the cable or something in the switch box itself. It’s not a major issue but definitely can be a hindrance mid-set.
