Hey guys, by Fender Pro 185 amplifier is acting stupid...

I will be playing a song and then the volume will spike up wicked loud...

I go to turn it down on the amp and then about 8 seconds after that I can't hear it because it turned down...

When it's not spiking it sounds perfect, but why does it randomly do this???

I don't think the amp is blown... Thanks in advance guys!

:D

Sounds like either a bad/dirty volume pot or a short circuit somewhere inside. With the amp off, try turning all the knobs back and forth to the extreme a few times... then reset them to your liking and try it. If that doesn't work, take it to your local tech. Regardless, the pots probably need to be cleaned - which requires disassembling the amp, taking the chassis out of the cabinet and cleaning them from the inside.
