My Mark V head started acting strange today, mainly involving the eq and channels 1 and 3. When I have the 5-band eq on both channel 1 and channel 3 and I switch to channel 3, the relays will start chattering and the amp will cut out as it tries to rapidly switch between channels 1 and 3. Another symptom is that the eq will not turn on and off using the footswitch on any channel.
It hasn't occurred under any other circumstances and happens with the pedal plugged in and without it. I rarely use the eq on channel 1 or switch the eq in or out with the footswitch, so it's not the end of the world, but I'm curious as to whether anyone else has encountered this and how crazy an issue it was to have repaired.
I bought this amp used and this will be the second time it has been to the shop for repairs in less than the year I've had it. I have a sinking feeling because I love it, but I worry it may have bigger problems than I want to deal with.
