Hi,
I am new to the forum.
I have a Peavey Bandit 112 'Solo Series' (old version) That I got second hand.
The pots had some crackle so I cleaned them with contact cleaner.
I don't know if it was the liquid in the board but now I get a loud hum when I turn the volume up (not present with volume down) and slight crackling noises coming through the speaker.
Anyone know what the problem could be? I checked the ground connection from the power cord and it's fine.
Thanks.
