I have a input dial on a roland recording unit. It gets scratchy if i move it and through certain regions the input meter and moitor volume drop to 0. What can i do to fix this? Can i open her up and clean the dial or do i have to buy a new dial...which i can not see being easy..?

Any help appreciated.
WWSD? What would stevie do?

The internal component that knob is connected to needs to be replaced. That pot is probably mounted directly on a printed circuit board, which makes it tricky to work with. Unless you have some soldering skills, this is a job for a tech.
