Amp Settings Change By Themselves
-

After power on, regardless of the patch, the settings begin to change by themselves. I can bring up the Amp settings screen, and watch as the Treble or Pres settings move. When I first saw this during a performance, I thought it might be vibrations from the environment, but sitting at home in a quiet still room, the settings still continue to move by themselves.
This is sometimes caused by dirt or dust collecting underneath the silver knobs. Two suggestions:
- vigorously move the knobs back and forth from min to max positions many times
- 'park' the knobs when not using them for editing. This means moving the knobs to the min or max position and leaving them there while playing. The knobs seem less sensitive to detecting vibrations at these positions. Even though you don't think it's vibrations because you've taken care to have a quiet stable position - it might still be caused by dirty connections.
Moving them back and forth, and then parking them is something I've been doing after read an earlier post. It seemed to help in the past, but not anymore; the problem is just getting worst.
Hi,
It sounds like you need to take the X3 Live to an authorized service center for repair:
