I have an Acoustasonic Jr. Great amp, but recently it has started to get a mind of its own and sporadically lets out a loud static noise. Turning the amp off then on again repeatedly seems to work for a second or two. I can also give it a "Love Tap" on the top and it clears up for a second or two. I've read previous posts that mention pulling and reconnecting clips and wires. I've tried that. I thought maybe the aluminum foil shield inside was causing a ground issue, so I rubberized inside to electric area to get rid of any shorts that may have been occurring.

I'm at a loss. Short of sending it in for repairs, are there any suggestions?

Stimey

Run a cord from fx send into fx return does it help but If you can hit the top and it stops then I would pull the board out and check all the solder joints and check the two big caps c74 and c73 for bad solder joints . Make sure you unplug it if you pull the board out

I tried the cord loop. No Luck. Smacked it and it stopped. I'll pull the board and check for sodder joints next.
