My Pittbull 100CL has been with a repair guy up here in VT for a retube. I just picked it up today, brought it home, plugged it in, and it's doing the weirdest thing. It's basically behaving like the master volume is set somewhere around 1 or 2. The knob itself turns but has no effect; turned all the way down or all the way up, the output stays at the same low level. All the other controls seem to work normally. It's just stuck at low bedroom volume. I've had this amp for 16 or 17 years and never experienced this before.
I don't work on amps, but, does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Is this the kind of thing where I could replace the pot or just fix some wiring, or am I in danger of being zapped if I touch the MV wiring? Sorry if these are dumb questions and I know it's not always easy to diagnose problems over the internet. I'll take it back to the guy and ask him to make it right if I have to - he does a lot of amp work and seems well qualified, maybe just rushed this one - but it's a 4 hour round trip.
