Pots can become scratchy and usually you can still clean the pots with Deoxit but that's not the problem you seem to have. Sounds like wrong values installed.

What are the values of the pots? Vol should be 500K or 1M. Tone probably 250K. If someone replaced them with wrong value puts, that could cause the problem you describe.

Recently serviced, everything functioning as it should. Very clean condition. Will work as stereo or as main/monitor. Has reverb/delay. 1200 watts 600w per side. $380 + shp

Most likely problem is bad filter caps, considering the age.

Would anyone here be able to help me with tuning my steel over zoom? I am really struggling with the steel sounding in tune with both pedals up and down on the different frets.

If the problem seem ...

Thanks Ryan. I had no idea Ralph played on "Swinging Doors". I always assumed Norm Hamlet played steel on all of Merle's songs.
