Hey techie friends ... my BOSS pedal developed a scratchy input jack, pretty sure it's just dirt or oxidization cuz I already cleaned it a bit and it helped but not enough.
I sprayed a 1/4 jack with contact cleaner and inserted it in/out a few times, that helped a bit.
Then I sprayed a Q-tip and cleaned the jacks a bit more ... better but still not 100%
Question: since the contact cleaner is conductive, is it OK to spray directly into the jack to (hopefully) clean it even better? Will leaving it to evaporate for a while before turning it back on get rid of all the cleaner residue and prevent anything from shorting out?
Thanks!
