New guy- 1st post. Just got my first Kustom, a 250-1 that I have hooked to a Peavey 2x15 bass cab. I LOVE this sound! I doubt I will ever even play another amp for bass. My problem is the top channel (with the Varitone control) acts up. If I play certain notes it starts crackling pretty bad and then just goes quiet. I have to turn volume down and plug up to channel 2 (bottom channel) and let it reset itself (wich it does). Bottom channel has no midrange control, you spin the pot but nothing changes. I like the top channel better because I can dial it in just perfect with the v-tone on 2 and it seems to be significantly quieter than the bottom channel. I guess I need to pull it out and clean it as best I can. Anything specific I should check based on the problems mentioned? I also got a 300 PA set-up from the same guy. I LOVE Tuck-n-Roll! Thanks!

Kustom Konvert!
