I originally bought this to clean the pots on my mint '64 Bassman, and I wanted the very best.

The pots on my bass has become "scratchy" so I sprayed a bit into them, turn the pots back and forth a few times and no more noise

When I find a scratchy pot or slider, I can completely rectify the problem with 1 - 2 blasts of DeoxIT - so far every time.

DeoxIT D5 is my go-to for any type of contact cleaning, and also on occasion for cleaning scratchy pots.

Over time most of it starts suffering from scratchy / noisy pots (knobs), input and output jacks that are crackly, etc

I gave each pot two short sprays, then worked the knobs a bit, gave it two more short sprays, and again worked the knobs.

I bought this Deoxit to clean the pots and switches on my 1978 Gibson Grabber 3 bass guitar and it worked great!

This stuff is a " must have" for you tool box if you have an intermittent switch or noisy pot , slider or switch in audio/ musical equipment

Upon pulling it out for use after this long time of disuse I found the pots to all be very noisy when passing over the spot where they were parked all that time.

Fixed dirty volume/tone pots, fixed noise due to faulty tube socket contacts, darn near fixed everything that was wrong with my amp!

I bought it to clean up a noisy volume pot on my guitar.

cleaned all the pots, switches, and other metal contacts with this product and eliminated all static in the volume dial and brought the old girl back to her former glory

Didn't work on them, but don't know if that's the fault of the contact cleaner or if the cheap pots were made scratchy

Worked like a charm on the dirty pots on my Strat.

My volume and balance pots were dirty and causing a lot of static when I turned them

I bought cheap with very flaky/scratchy pots and problems cutting out

No more noisy pots

Had previously tried to clean same pot with basic electrical cleaner spray, did not work

It is the gold standard for removing and keeping oxidation at bay, as well as sorting out noisy pots

Before buying this little puppy, I noticed that someone had posted a video about how he cleaned a potentiometer (pot) in an old amplifier

Bought to clean the control pots on my old receiver to eliminate noise and dropouts so my son could use it

For the last decade or so the pots on these amps have been getting worse and worse - with dead spots and making crackly sounds when turned.

I tend to try to use F5 Faderlube for pots since it has a lubricant to keep them moving free, but this D5 also works well for cleaning pots as well.

I bought it to clean up a noisy volume pot on my guitar.

Got a dirty pot

After years of noisy pots and switches, no more noise.

Personal uses: cleaning pots/jacks on electric bass/guitars/amps.

Must have for old active monitor speakers with dirty pots.

Once that wiper tarnishes, the pot will sound awful since silver oxide is an insulator.

This stuff works great at getting in and cleaning up corroded contacts, and noisy pots ect

I have a 1970's electric guitar that has the scratchiest pots and the bass pickup worked intermitenly,the old way of cleaning pots was to use rubbing alcohol,but one squirt of this in the volume and tone pots and all the electronics function as new,i even sprayed the toggle switch and it works better,very very pleased.

DeoxIT D5 is my go-to for any type of contact cleaning, and also on occasion for cleaning scratchy pots.

I have used this on 2 radios with scratchy volume controls, a computer monitor with intermittent volume issues, and a Fender Stratocaster with scratchy pots.

Now anyone can fix a noisy pot

But it often totally fixes a "scratchy" pot by simply getting it on the resistive pad and then running the pot back and forth a dozen times or so

definitely try this before going through the trouble of replacing noisy pots (potentiometers).

I bought this when a friend recommended I try it to clean some scratchy pots

Worked the pots back and forth immediately after spritzing them, and the amp has ZERO problems now

NO MORE funky pots or toggles on any of my axes.

Used Deoxit to clean pots and switches in my old Yamaha amp.

I cleaned my guitar and amp pots with this and the sound is restored to absolute pristine buzzlessness

I couldn't find anyone who would attempt to replace the bad pot locally and I needed the board working daily for a radio show

Been using it for years to clean up noisy pots and componets.

Bought a used guitar with scratchy pots

Works great for cleaning speaker protection relays and pots, if your volume control crackles give it one shot and it will work like new again.

Unbelievably awesome product for cleaning pots and connectors (volume controls, tone controls, battery terminal connectors on radios, amps, portable electronics, flashlights, etc).

Fixes flaky switches and pots in old

The best contact, and pot cleaner made I use it on all my guitars and amps when the pots get scratchy, one or two sprays and bye bye scratchy noises..hello quiet pots and switches

This is what you want if you have a scratchy pot in an old guitar pedal and don't want to take it fully apart to clean it

Used to clean the original pots on a vintage tube amp.

It works very well cleaning switches and pots, and in my experience, has saved a lot of gizmos from "junk" status.

I bought an old Peavey audio mixer that was unusable because the pots were so dusty

Works great for scratchy pots

I sprayed it in my bass guitar's pot and now its like new

Been using it for years to clean up noisy pots and componets.

Many of them had scratchy pots, scratchy toggles, you name it.

If I had a 55 gallon drum of it, I could take entire pre-amps and other audio gear and dunk it to fix all of the bad switch contacts and pots in one quick operation. :)The only thing that's a minor issue is that as with any contact cleaner that has (or is nothing but) a solvent, it will flush away the viscous goo that's often used to make a potentiometer have a "silky" feel to it when rotating.

Was able to clean my 1960 tube testers switches and pots with ease.
