You can turn that knob back for forth thousands of times and it won't fix it.

But deoxit will! http://www.caig.com/

Hi Jill,

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it. I'm located in Berlin, Germany. Any tips for getting tuner cleaner in Europe?

I will try turning the knob back and forth a lot. Hopefully that will fix it.

Best,
Daniel

>>As I turn the volume knob, I hear a little bit of static (almost like a ground hum). It shifts from the left to right signal and disappears when it's on full volume. Of course this is a problem when recording because when I have a clear signal it's likely that the volume will be too loud resulting in distortion. Does anyone have an idea for a quick fix on this? What could it be?
