       Hey all,
 
 My actual name's Mike Marcus, I joined the
 group because I just bought an EX-800 (via Reverb.com). I
 only started using it yesterday, so all I've been able
 to do so far is go through the presets and figure out how to
 change settings. When I first connected the unit, it was
 doing this thing where the sound it was putting out was
 extremely faint. I could barely make out anything at all,
 either with headphones or via the line outs. After trying a
 number different things, unplugging and re-plugging in the
 cables, powercycling the unit, cursing a bit, it started
 playing at a reasonable volume. What's odd is that
 turning the volume knob doesn't seem to have an effect
 on the level, at least until I turn it completely off. I
 also noticed the occasional noise, which could be a scratchy
 pot. However, when I was first trying to get volume out of
 it, I didn't hear any scratching when I turned the knob.
 My question is this: could shipping the EX-800 have jostled
 it, setting something loose in the process? Is there
 anything I should look for? Do you have any recommendations
 for going over a unit like this? I was thinking I might take
 some DeoxIT to the knobs. All in all it appears to be in
 excellent condition.
 
 I was
 planning on doing the various mods (HAWK-800, AtomaHawk, not
 sure what else yet) eventually anyway, so I'm not averse
 to opening the thing up. 
 
 Thanks for the add,
 - Mike
