Hi Guys,

My Aria Pro II Mac 60 has some noises whenever i turn up the volume or tone knob, I wonder izzit ment to b this way or its becuz of faulty knobs etc...

if what you hear are some crackling noises, it's due to the pot's old age; chances are, its internals are rusty. you can use a contact cleaner (spray) to remedy this or if it's too decayed, get it replaced 8)

Thanks Bro, I'll get it checked out then.

yeah....rusty pots it is.... i just sprayed some WD-40 into the pot (however didn't remove pot from pickguard-hence the nto so good outcome) and i realised the scratching noises were reduced greatly (but not eliminated...)

eheh... time fro new pot...

dude.. i think WD40 is not too good as they are dust magnets... contact cleaners are better..

if WD40 or contact cleaner doesn't solve the problem,u might need to change the pot's..
