My Mark IV A creates a slight 'Pop' when switching channels if I stay on one for too long.. I also have a IV B that does not and switches silently. And it is not like the 'Mark V Pop' which is much louder and different switching I believe. > Has anyone else dealt with this in a Mark IV A? >...

Hi all, I am attempting to do some III+ mods to my Blue Stripe Mark III and would love some explanation on the C27 cap for the R1 and R2 channels... Main question: On the C27 Cap, is the "10pf" or the "20pf" brighter sounding for R1 and R2? Which of the 2 Cap Values gives the more of a Fender...
