MT-200 is actin up

<< < (2/2)

MarshallJMP:
Well here I use 3 different cleaners now.

Kontakt 60 removes oxidation

Kontakt WL remove the residue of the oxidation

Kontakt 61 lays a protective layer on the contacts.

But I don't know if these are available in the US.

Dante:
I don't know either, but I bet I can find something comparable by looking around - there's a very savvy electronics store in town, they'll know what I'm looking for.

UPDATE: The MT-200 sounded fine at practice last night  :dunno:  but I was admittedly turned WAY up  :banana-rock:  for ZZ Top practice. (the drummer has a particularly loud snare  :o )

This makes me think it could be a contact acting buggy. I didn't unplug the input/output jacks on the amp, but I did move them around a bit when hooking up the cabs and packing up the rack. It may have jostled the connection into working better at practice. I think a good cleaning is in order

MarshallJMP:
Yes I think so too. These jacks are getting old. The best way would be to replace them. Did some looking around and you still can get these except for the bridge out jack. This is something special and I did found one but with solder lugs and not the pcb version.
