Hi all
I have a Frontman 212R amp since 2007. Great amp, probably underused but used enough to have 4 broken/snapped pots shaft! :? Although i'm not too expert in that field, I will be trying to replace them. But it's a rough start, I can't remove the broken shaft inside the pots OR, remove the remains pots on the amp itself. Any idea, advice...? Would be cool thanks.

You have to replace all complet pots

Look here ;

If you have no skill in electronics, bring amp to a tech.

I had one of these for years. The PCB has very fine runs. You need to be very good with a soldering iron to tackle this one.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
