If it's a pot pedal, the pot is bad and needs to be replaced.

Perhaps it's a bad pot if it's a pot pedal. I believe that is what Jack meant, not a pot amp.

What kind of pedal (more specifically eluded to is it a pot pedal) if so, bad pot.
Not an uncommon thing especially with the unavailability of a good pots such as A/B or Clarostat was making MIL spec. |

| use it on another amp, if it scratches its the pot.Most players now have gone to the non pot type to avoid the constant replacement of pots and noise in the line. |

For a while, Goodrich was having problems with inferior pots. Several people came on here telling of how the pots went bad in their new pedal after a small number of hours on it. So, yes it could be.

Bob, I wouldn't say most: many still stick with pots.
At a recent steel guitar jam of 16 steel players, I noticed only 6-7 active pedals.

So, the rest were INACTIVE? 
Sorry Lane, the drugs are wearing off.

Which reminds me (actually I LIKE the Dead, I find them interesting, but the joke's still funny)
What did one hippie say. To the other when the drugs finally wore off?
My GOD, this music sucks!!
