Question about MT15

[lesjedi]

Hello I couldnt find any answers anywhere so here is hoping ya can help. My MT15 clean channel volume knob does not go "no volume" when l turn the knob all the way to zero . I can still play the amp at a good volume. My MV works just fine, its only the volume on the blue channel. every other knob works. After some research all I got is either this is really bad or normal for high gain amps. My local amp teach charges for just looking, so before I go I figure to seek adivce on this forum. I tried to conduct PRS directly but after 3 attempts none of emails have ever recieved a response. I got this amp new and to be honest I never noticed since im 90% on the red channel. Thank you all for your time and any adivce.

I don't think I'd ever tried what you did, so I went down tonight and tried it. Clean channel volume at zero gave no sound at all.

I wonder if perhaps you have a dirty pot - have you tried sweeping it several times just to see if maybe there's something interfering with it and causing the issue?

Thank you for responding, yes i did try to spray it with Deoxit, still nothing. When i turn it up it gets loud, but when i turn it down it doesn't lower the volume at all. I never had a volume pot do that in any amp and in all my yrs of playing. I really want to make sure this is not normal, but actual damage before I pay a tech to look at it. Like i stated before PRS never return my inquriy, and other forums gave very mix answers and none of them mention specifically the MT15.

I don’t own a MT15 but that sounds like a bad pot. I had the EVH lunchbox amp when they first came out that was talking volume with the volume knob at zero. Fender replaced it under warranty.
