Frederick6054 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hi, I am having problems with the volume knob of my HD500x. Basically, the volume displayed on the screen moves, even when I don't turn a knob. so if I save a preset with the volume on full, but leave the knob halfway, the preset may change volume at a moment. In addition, when you move the knob, it feels uncontrolled, since it may put the knob to the top, but on the screen it shows that it has not yet reached the top. I will appreciate your help in this regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurghanico Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Probably the Volume pot needs to be cleaned or replaced. Pull off the corresponding plastic knob and with a cotton swab apply a little isopropyl alcohol on the metal shaft, put the plastic knob back in place and turn the pot several times. If this solution does not solve the problem the pot must be replaced. Before trying the cleaning porcedure as a temporary workaround you could park the Volume knob at the minimum position before selecting your patches. Doing so the jittery pot phenomenon should stop happening until the pot remains parked at zero. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All about POD HD500/X help and useful tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
