Recently my amp has developed a new and interesting problem, it seems that the input jack is comming loose and shorting out.
When I purchased the amp about a year ago the nut and washer that hold the input jack still had been stripped off, but until now it hasn't been a problem.
Now when I play lightly the amp occasionally drops to very low volumes, when I play louder the problem is more frequent, and ocompanied by a scratching noise (or sometimes a noise resembling my guitar being unplugged). The problem is usually fixed by adjusting the cord at the amp input.
The jack is pretty loose, and when I removed the back cover of the amp the jack was sitting slightly lower and seemed to be dissconected from the circuit board.
Any idea's?
