Hey,

So I'm looking g to sell my old trace Elliot 15 combo and I've noticed that when you turn the gain and volume knobs it causes a static noise, is this a big problem? Or an easy fix? Can i still sell it on second hand?

It sounds great otherwise, although there is a little feedback.

Cheers! :)

A squirt of contact cleaner in the pots should do the trick. Don't be tempted to use WD40, it's not suitable. Plenty of choice of product on t'bay; this is the stuff I've used for decades...


...easily available (Conrad etc...) and a tin lasts years.
Hope this helps.

Great, its good too know this could be an easy fix. Do u buy this from hardware stores or music shops?

If you're friendly with your local music shop tech, he may lend you the can for an evening's DIY. He may equally be amenable to selling you a can. Other than that, Maplins, as above, Conrad or several other online outlets.
