  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
