Everything has pots. See below for info....

They will need replaced (if that's the problem). Recommend taking it to the shop.

In terms of a quick fix, try spraying some compressed air into any and all inputs/outputs of the amp.



A potentiometer (colloquially known as a "pot") is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider.[1] If only two terminals are used (one side and the wiper), it acts as a variable resistor or rheostat. Potentiometers are commonly used to control electrical devices such as volume controls on audio equipment. Potentiometers operated by a mechanism can be used as position transducers, for example, in a joystick.

Potentiometers are rarely used to directly control significant power (more than a watt). Instead they are used to adjust the level of analog signals (e.g. volume controls on audio equipment), and as control inputs for electronic circuits. For example, a light dimmer uses a potentiometer to control the switching of a TRIAC and so indirectly control the brightness of lamps.

Email Seymour Duncan, get a return authorization number, and send it to them.

Nobody here can help you. It's most likely a failing tube. They'll solder a new one in there and send it back in a few days.
