I've seen brief mention of this before, but I have no idea if this can be fixed. I have an original Cyber Twin and the function of the large data wheel is very erratic. When you turn it to change presets, it will sometimes advance sequentially (as expected), but quite often if will jump around errarically. e.g. A01, A02, A03, C17

Does anyone know why this happens? And, more impertantly, how to fix it?

I am the original owner and this amp has never been abused, dropped, kicked, etc.!

Thanks!

Ed

Mine was doing the same, but it was tipped over in the equipment van after a gig. I took it to the guys that do my amp work, Abell Audio http://www.abellaudio.com/, they repaired it (cold solder joints and pushed-in pins). Haven't had any problem with it since.

Thanks for the information, Tony. I called around and a guy told me I'd have to replace the encoder (the big data wheel). He said it would cost about $200. So, now I'm wondering if a hot soldering iron might do the trick. If so, it should save me a few buck. Thanks a lot for the tip!
