I have a Peavy Minx110 with the red stripe. It has an extremely loud buzz when plugging into the preamp input. Turning the volume down still had a loud buzz and forcefully rotating the volume left against where its stops manipulates the buzzing volume. The buzzing lowers some as you put left rotating pressure. There is no noise when plugging into the effects return and using the power amp. I have taken it apart and blown it out with an air compressor and contact cleaner to no avail. Is there a known issue that results in this? It played fine for many years.

Hi, My guess would be old Electrolytic Capacitors if it buzzes constantly. But if it is only when plugging in, then there could be some bad grounding somewhere. Bad Cable, or bad connector on the guitar itself. Some good contact cleaner may help. Both for the pots and the connectors. Good luck. (Try a different patch cord first)
