thanks brian d. for the suggestion - i will check out the sockets. could be arcing (??) any other suggestions and tips will be appreciated.

i'm thinking of running the basic tests found in the ella manual. would this be a good place to start as well ?

the volume pot has gone scratchy on me. its a pec carbon pot. would be good to know what pots ella owners have in their amps. recommendations appreciated. i might as well get this sorted out if i have to pop the hood.

thank you.

  I've used a DACT Stepped Attenuator an Alps Blue and a TKD. The TKD didn't work in my amp in so far as there was a hiss I couldn't get rid of, sounded good though if you could ignore the hiss between tracks. The Alps came with the amp when I bought and is good too though the DACT was the best by far until I bought a Django last year.

    Hi BrianD, thank you for the suggestions. The Dact sounds like a good idea. I havent paid much attention to Django and I think I should look into that.
    Thanks again.
