Hi all,
I friend dropped off his amp hoping I could get it going right again.
He says that the overall volume has dropped suddenly and significantly and was "jumping in and out". He said he could pound on the case and get it back for a while.
I opened the case and resoldered all joints that looked the least bit sketchy but no improvement. The volume is low all the time now and no amount of whacking changes things. The pots all sound clean and clear. The amp gets plenty loud when everything is turned up so i think it's just a sensitivity issue and most likely in the preamp section..
WHat should I be looking for?
Thanks for any advice.
