are you aware of any potentiometer lubricating spray to prevent corrosion, if it exists?

Good question, and I repeat................Thanks.

This is essentially exactly what Fishman told me too about the similar minor issue I had on my SA with my signal cutting out completely for a split second to maybe two seconds at a time, just a few times over the course of a 3-hour gig. Kinda weird that it still worked fine 99% of the time though. They suggested sweeping all knobs from all-left to all-right once or twice every time you use it. Does make sense.
