MacDaddyMatty Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) A while back I deployed with the military. I gave my AxSys 212 and stompbox controller to a friend - figured it was better to be used then leaving it in storage - anyway... He fried one of the chips (static shock on carpet - apparently this was common with the 212?) Then left it in a barn for a few years. :( Since it was collecting dust I asked for it back. After cleaning it up: The amp is stuck in "tuning" mode, the stompbox has power but isn't communicating with the amp (buttons, vol pedal, nada) I understand this is due to the fried chip... There is a dirty hum coming from the speakers that appears to be tied to the master volume knob - crackling when turning it, and dirty hum increases / decreases. (see post below) I don't really need an amp, but... I remember how excellent this thing was. Brought me a lot of joy for a long time. Is it worth fixing it and where would I start? I hate to just recycle it. Thanks in advance for any opinions. Edited November 19, 2023 by MacDaddyMatty (Identified one problem) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddyMatty Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 So, I troubleshot the dirty hum coming from the speakers that appears to be tied to the master volume knob - crackling when turning it, and dirty hum increases / decreases. Seems a bad Master Vol Pot (crackling when turning and hum increases/decreases with turning the knob). Still looking for advice here... Bump?
