Bought a m5 for the reverbs (which are great), but it's started to randomly mute it's self like I've activated the tuner. Takes about half an hour of playing then click no sound, I can either power of and on (which works every time) or give it a light kick which works most of the time. Am well pissed off as I really like the reverbs (the 63 spring is lovely) bought it in May so it should still be in warranty... But should I get a replacement which might go the same way (lots of reports on the internet) or a refund?

They've emailed me back recommending I do a factory reset, to see if that sorts it out.

One of your foot switches is prolly taking a poo... When I had a Line 6 the switches were always breaking and I baby my stuff .. Kinda why I bought a Digitech .

Not button related, but how do you find the bypassed sound on your m5? My band mates informed me that it sounded quite different with it in the chain to when i went straight in to the amp.

I haven't noticed any major differences but I've only been using it at home so far.
Also I don't think the switches are ti blame as powering it down for a second sorts it and the switches are latching

On the M9 at least, there's a an option to choose between DSP and true bypass. Sounds like your bandmates are aaaaaasssholes
