I show how to repair a guitar amplifier with volume/tone controls that snap, crackle, pop, cut out when you turn/adjust them, by cleaning the pots. This also works on the guitar volume & tone knobs. Or many other electronic devices with scratchy volume controls. Basically, the potentiometers (pots) get dirty and need cleaned. I used DeoxIT Fader F5 contact cleaner spray to clean them.

* I always get the question will WD-40 work? I DO NOT recommend using WD-40. Using something not made for the purpose can potentially damage your equipment.
