I have a stock Mojotone 5E3 kit that I've assembled. It plays fine, but it's very, very clean. All headroom and no distortion. I can turn volumes and tone...

Hiya,

My weber 5e3 clone which I have had working (on and off) since 2009 has now started motorboating when the volume controls are high. All...
