Budget is a big key here, if anyone can help it would be appreciated/  both my peavey chorus amp and my guitar
have slightly scratchy pots.  If I move them back and forth rapidly it seems to temporarily get a little better but
returns.  Can I remove or access the pot and use an electrical contact cleaner to spray into pot or do they have to
be taken apart and manually cleaned?  Thanks again

RAFL,

The pots cannot be taken apart.  You should be able to dissasemble the amp to a point as to be able to access the pots from the inside and spray them with a good contact/tuner cleaner, turning them while spraying.  As far as the guitar, the same would apply except you must be carefull not to get any of the cleaner on the guitar. It may harm the finish.

Thanks alot Jim, that really helps the wallet.  That'll be an easy fix.

RAFL,

Let me know how things work out..
If ya still have the same problem, the offending pots may be worn out, in which case replacement is easy if you can solder well...
The parts are not expensive at all.  You just have to have a source for the parts, and know what the specs are... IE: Ohms, Linear taper, or Audio taper, etc...Most pots in this type of gear for audio applications will be "Audio Taper".
If you have any ?'s, give me a yell

Jim
