    The pots on these are notorious for doing this.

    Open up the amp and squirt some Servisol or Electrolube contact cleaner/lubricant into the pot, using the tube poked into the little square slot on the pot. Rotate the pot back and forth a few times, then repeat.

    If this doesn't work, try again.

    If it still doesn't work, use WD-40. But not first!

    They can be stubborn to get clean but a combination of cleaner and WD-40 does almost always work if the cleaner alone doesn't.

    "Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski

    "Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
