Owned-since-new, this 1997 VS265 2X12 Stereo Chorus Combo has seen a lot of use. Not long ago, I noticed the headphone jack was loose. I ordered the correct "crab style" jack and had a local amp guy solder it in. The amp guy found no other bad solder joints during his inspection. I also just changed the tube as a preventative measure.
The amp has a couple of issues. I wanted to seek some advice here and address the problems personally.
First, the amp is noisy when its running. Kind of a light hum that is present through my Fuhrman SS-6B or wall outlets at different locations.
The pots and momentary push buttons are scratchy/crackly, bit I figure some De-Ox It F5 will help that aspect.
The other issue is a more pronounced hum when the chorus is engaged. I looked and it would seem that chorus function is simply a chip, so not much csn be done there.
Thoughts???
