3.5 days from a gig and my guitar just started acting a fool...
I was rehearsing with DLG last night and an issue came up with my guitar. The tone knob for the middle PU possibly crapped out or there's a bad connection.
Essentially, the only way my guitar would work is if the tone knob for the middle PU was all the way up. If I even touched it slightly it would "pop pop pop" and would go dead. I couldn't get the OBEL signal or the direct. If I rolled the tone knob all the way up it would pop but once it hit 100% up it would bring both the OBEL and direct signal back.
I frequently play with the tone knob (specifically with distortion) and its habit at this point.
Rusty the scoob and I took the backplate off and inspected the pot. All connections visually seemed to be ok. The ground looked half assed and could be re-set but otherwise no visual issues.
There's no way I want to play a gig without my Eagle guitar (It's not fucking happening) so I'm scrambling here.
Its a quality Pot and only a year old.
Any insight here?
