Helloooo

I have a combo AX2 212 LINE 6 (TUBE TONE)....I have not used it in a long time ( or really used it at all).  Plugged it in last week and ran into a few issues....

No# 1: lots of static from volume/switches on amp when I turn them in any direction (my solution: bought a contact and head cleaner and sprayed them down....no more static...seems to be ok) guessing that dusk etc....was the issue.

No# 2: floorboard was not allowing me to bank up (same as above, hit it with contact cleaner and now I can bank up)

No#3: Now my problem is, when i select a preset on the floorboard (or manually on the the amp) the sound is cracking terrible like a shitty guitar jack sound (yes, tried 2 different brand new cables on 2 differnt guitars...it's not the cable or guitar). Volume drops, and the floor board indicator goes from the selected preset i.e. P28 to E28... and if I switch to another channel, it seems to work for a minute and then goes from ie P14 to E14.

Friggin shame, bought this amp about 5 years ago as a friend spoke highly of it, but never really got around to playing with it..... now i am starting to see the potential of this rig and am starting to experiment with it...and it shuts me down right out of the gates...lunchbox letdown!

Did i damage something by using the head cleaner??? is is because the amp has been sitting there not used for 5 years that it does not work ( hope not, all my other gear works and has been sitting there longer then that ).

at a loss????

any thoughts or feedback would be great

thanks

Dickie

p.s. i have just done another soft and hard reset on the amp, just to make sure...indicator goes from P "whatever number" to E "same number as P" within seconds, but before it changes, the sound is still "shitty guitar jack" sound....cracking, breaking up etc...
