Yamaha CS80

Could it be a dirty output-hi/low-switch on the back? Just mess 
around with it and see if it cuases the problem.

randomly get a distortion on the output, and it will then randomly 
go away. it will never last longer than 5-7 seconds at a time, and 
it doesnt seem to be "control induced" in any way. (it sounds alot 
like a preamp does with the gain all the way up(signal still comes 
through). im going to be recording with it in a little while, so i 
kinda would like to clear this up. any leads on this?

to do this on my 80. any advice? plug it in before i turn it on? 
should i be worried, or no?
