Hi guys, just been playing with the distortion turned on on my x0xi0 and it keeps putting out random sort of crackling, it sounds a bit like a piece of scratched vinyl. The amount knob has always been pretty crackly when the type knob is in the up position, I tried cleaning the pot but it never went away. I didn't mind the knob being scratchy but now it sounds crackly whenever I turn the distortion on regardless of which way the type button is set.
Don't really know where to start with this one, it's one of the older x0xi0s, I have the front panel mod too (again an early one without the mixer board).
Any ideas? Brian? Guest? Anyone?
Much respect and love for the x0xb0x online massive.

Re: Very noisy distortion on x0xi0
Just checked the long list of install problems, could this be a problem with the Alpha pot shorting? I'm going to check to see if there's a short there later. Any other suggestions gratefully received.

Hi,
it could a problem from the pot himself, i already have this noisy sound when your turn the pot. The only solution was to revove it !

Re: Very noisy distortion on x0xi0
Did you just replace the pot with an equivalent part?
