So, I have an Orange Rocker 32 with scratchy volume potentiometers.  I have cleaned the pots with contact cleaner - but the scratchiness eventually comes back.   Perhaps replacing the pots would be a better fix?   If so are there any recommendations (part numbers to use)?

So, it seems that I've been added to a grunge band without my knowledge or consent.    I'm hoping this person simply has me confused with someone else - otherwise I'll have to confront the situation and say no.   

@Hubaxe - that's outstanding!  The guitar you built reminds me a little of my old Ibanez S-series 7-string.   

I like that Micro Terror and PPC108 cabinet!   I bet the PPC112's will sound amazing. 

I notated at twice the tempo.

I guess I’m a bit of a jack-of-all trades as well.   During my young adult phase I also worked at a TV and stereo repair shop - fixing, well, TVs and stereos.  Actually, there were VCRs in the mix as well.  I fixed many blown solid state amplifiers during those years.   Good times!   

After graduating college I moved to the city where I started my new life.   I got into a band within a couple of years of landing, and made many friends.   

I eventually bought a house in 2010- beginning the next phase.   Home repair.   My very first job was fixing the fence that blew over during a storm during my first year in my house.   Lucky for me, my neighbor provided much guidance on rebuilding the fence.    Invaluable!   

As for coding - I’ve done quite a lot of firmware with Microchip mostly using their c compiler (and sometimes assembler).  I’ve done a fair amount of front-end and backend code for webpages - including SQL and mySQL. I like using Python (already installed on macOS!).   Recently, I took a job coding some automated test equipment (ATE) - mainly creating the user interface to control and test product.   

Oh, yeah, how can I forget this - I designed a point to point radio system using Excel for the frequency planning.  This worked extremely well.   I started off using Excel’s conditional formatting and quickly moved to their built-in VBA.     I wrote the VBA to perform an exhaustive search for the best frequencies to use with the radios I was designing.   I needed to meet ETSI specifications (stringent) yet keep cost low.    The details are mind numbing at times (why we use computers).   

These days - after work - I like to focus on playing out somewhere and/or listening to new songs and chart the piece only using my own ears - that is, without looking at the internet for the answers (or perhaps not so correct answers).   Stay agile!

Aside from the movie Pulp Fiction - that video reminded me of when I worked for a vending company when I was a teenager - fixing video games, jukeboxes, pinballs, cigarette machines and etc.   That was the coolest job - I nearly always had a truck that I brought home with me - pretty much I could joy ride in the truck with my friends (you're always on call) - AND the GAS was free!.   I was livin' the life! 

Hobbies - outside of guitar/music  -  hmmm...  it may have morphed to drinking and talking baby talk to the cats.   =/
