Members davidicus-b2sWF Posted June 20, 2020 Members Share Posted June 20, 2020 My little combo amp has suuuper scratchy pots--sound drops out entirely in places I have CRC QD Electronic Cleaner, but I think pots can get eaten, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr.Grumpy Posted June 29, 2020 Members Share Posted June 29, 2020 For starters you should use pot cleaner, as it has a lubricating grease that's left behind after the solvent/carrier evaporates. Plain "electronic" and contact cleaners are solvent only, and will wash out the lubricating grease from the pots. It will clean them up temporarily at best, but will likely result in quicker wear-out afterwards. If the pot is simply dirty, then a quick spritz (half second or less) should clean it up. If the scratchiness and drop outs are still occurring after cleaning, then your pots are worn out and should be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
