Line 6 AX2 212 - problem with Pots!

I have a Line 6 AX2 212 amp - fantastic amp, i must add. Unfortunately, it's taken a bit of beating whilst being on the road.

 

One of the dials (including the head of the pot) on the front of the amp has snapped clean off, as well as another that has become 'loose' and no longer registers when adjusting settings. The first one i wasn't so bothered about - being the delay/reverb dial i don't use. Ever. However, the one that's come loose is the 'treble' dial which is a big problem.

 

Firstly, can replacements be bought? Secondly, is it easy enough to get into the amp to sort this out?

 

Thirdly, before some bright spark suggests i take it to an authorised tech i'd like it noted that i live in Scotland - and thus there isn't a service centre for a good... ooh, continent or so

 

Any help gladly appreciated!

    They are easy enough to replace if you have basic soldering skill.  The pots have a long D shaft, hard to find at other sellers.  L6 usually willl send them for free here in the states, don't know about the UK/Scotland area.  While you're in there, lube all the pots and reseat all the ribbon connectors.  There's a lot of room inside and easy to work on.

      Hi,

      I have 2 of these amps, and love them.

      I'm in dire need of some AX212 212 10k pots. I have a few that read open to a certain point then rocket from 0 to 99 in a very slight turn.

      These have to be the weakest link on these amplifiers. They are made by Alpha and possibly part #  3RP/1610NCC3B10K. Cant find them anywhere...

      I have the knowledge and equipment to replace them. I need about 6 of them.

      I hope customer service can ship them to me asap.

       

      Thanks,

      Rory McMahon
