Flextone II problem

[Infinite Dreams]

here's the problem- my stupid roomate spilled beer all over my flextone II 1x12, and my A-D buttons no longer work, except for B. i tried getting the fb4 so i could edit a channel and try to save it with the floorboard buttons (by hitting save, pressing the pedal, and save again) but it doesn't work like that. any suggestions?? i took it all apart and cleaned the parts, but i didn't take apart all the circuitry stuff. i think there's just beer under the buttons, and it's not allowing a good contact. help me please!!!

I'd suggest making the roomate pay for it or the repairs or it's baseball bat time.

oh wait, that's the way I would handle it, sorry. I don't know what to suggest to you.

Yeah, if it were me, roommate beating time! However, my roommate is a musician too, so he respects my stuff.

deffinitly make him pay.. if he refuses.. doesn't sound like a decent guy in the first place

take the amp to a tech and see what they can do.. make sure they are a good one as some might not accept modeler amps

yeah whatever repair needs to happen, he's payin for it. anyway- what about electrical switch cleaner (pot cleaner)? would that maybe clear out some of the beer? i'm really pissed off right now, i was just about to sell this thing too, it was basically brand new. thanks for the help guys.

I guess they reserved the cupholders for the 212 models huh? LOL!! I have had similar incidents involving other electronic equipment. I've had some hits and misses with Contact Cleaner, but definitely worth the try. Seriously though, after you smack his nose with a rolled newspaper, put him in his cage and make a new Housrule! No drinks or cigs around my gear!! Definitely dont let anyone use it as a beerrest, the vibrations alone will rattle the beer into another expensive mess!
