i'm cross-posting from the luthier section because I have no idea if this issue is with the guitar or the amp...hopefully someone will know something!
The volume knob on my Kirn tele has a lot of static and whooshing when plugged into either of my tube amps. Guitar's barely over a year old so it's not an old pot by any means. In fact, I had a suhr T with humbuckers that did the same thing so it may not even be isolated to this one guitar.
Happens with different cables and with or without pedalboard. BUT if I'm plugged into the board and have a pedal turned on then it's fine. No scratching or anything. I can roll the knob all over the place with no issues as long as a pedal is engaged. Turn it off and the whooshing is back.
However, if I plug it into my Yamaha THR10 it's completely silent. No scratching or anything.
Any ideas as to why this is happening solely with my tube amps? I figure if it's a problem with the volume pot it would happen on any amp including the THR
