DeoxIT. Great? So-so?

Post by brewingfrog »

Since Paul fully repaired my now-beautiful 4001, now everything else around here looks a little dull. Among these is a formerly junked GK Backline amp. It is possessed of a cacophony of crackling and simply working on the plugs does no good. The same noises come through the DI so it isn't just a torn speaker. A buddy suggested DeoxIT as the cure-all solution for crackly pots and such.

What say y'all?

If a dirty potentiometer is the cause of your troubles Deoxit should have a very positive effect. It worked wonders for my not so "Brillant" volume pot on my AC-30 Reissue.

Excellent! I'll order some up!

The buddy who initially recommended it has a standing gig literally on the beach on South Padre Island. I have often joked to them that they should be the subject of "Hardest On Their Gear" type articles due to the salt corrosion, humidity, etc. They stand by Deoxit big time.

Ditto here! Two thumbs up, a plus one, and a hearty recommendation for Deoxit from me, as well as the rest of the crew in Smiling face down. :D

Yes - Unlike many other potentiometer cleaners, it has a lubricant to keep the pot mechanism traveling smoothly.
