Yamaha CS80

Hi RJ,

Could be a cap with a dry joint on the PRA board. Or a dry joint on 
one of the wires leading into the PRA board.

The pedel should be plugged in while the 80 is off. And don't plug 
it into the wrong socket as this will blow the 15V track clean off 
the back of the PRA board.

Hope this helps ya!

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?
