Pow_22 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Bit of a strange 'fault' has appeared with my walkabout head. When i first power on and after the 'click' that means its been through its power up procedure the amp has little volume and what is there is very fuzzy. I have to move the volume knob a few times before it booms into life. Obvious thing i though was a good pot clean so i blasted it with some electrical contact cleaner and gave the pot a few spins but the issue seems to remain. Short of a new pot is there anything obvious i could be missing here? Once its fired up after the above issue it is faultless in operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Shove a plug in and out the FX send and return sockets in the back of the amp a few times. The plugs can have problems if they're not used regularly (oxidisation I think) and that will clean them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pow_22 Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 To end this sordid tale…. @wateroftyne was right. A spirtz of contact cleaner, wire straw brush and a good clean of the effects loop and jobs a good un. Leave this here for any future Mesa players with similar issues 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
