tippbass Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hi Folks, I have a Trace Elliot AH500 (circa 2001) and theres a bit of crackle coming from the compresion balance pot , once it adjusted and set its ok but if you go to make any further adjustments it crackles , anyone else experienced this with the same amp ? amp works 100% apart from this and once ive set the compression I don't go at it so it's not really an issue but stiil wouldnt mind getting it sorted . Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 This sounds like a dirty pot, which is a very common problem indeed. It's easy enough to fix yourself if you buy a can of switch cleaner like Servisol and follow the instructions. If that fails, which is unlikely IMO, fit a new pot. That's a relatively easy DIY job, too, if you are handy with a soldering iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Good man! It's always handy to have a can of switch cleaner around. It will last for decades and you never know when you'll need it next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
