chuskey Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The volume pot on my JTV69 is scratchy. Only on the mags/analog. No noise on the digital side. Is it safe to use a spray contact cleaner? It's the same stuff I use on my regular guitars without incident, but since the pot is also a digital control.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 No. Certain contact cleaners are bad on plastics, actually can chemically breakdown. It can look like the plastic melted. Carefully pull up the volume and tone control knobs and make sure the pot retainer nuts underneath are snug to the pick-guard so there is good contact between shield and pot casing. Snug, not too tight,... or threads might strip. If that doesn't do it, log a ticket in your Line 6 account, get a Return Authorization to take to an authorized Line 6 service repair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up. I wanted to get this kind of info before trying it! I'll check the volume knob to make sure that it is making good contact.
