I also have this same problem, it really is upsetting. I traded alot of instruments Epi Special 2, Schecter Damien b-2, jackson RR v, B.c Rich warlock, an older beringer tube amp, and a ibenez weeping demon pedal. For a crate flex wave 120h (half stack) i had it for bout 2 months nothing wrong then all of a sudden, i turn it on and volume fluxes up and down on its own i also notice the reverb cutting in and out when this happens. I cant use warranty because even though owner of the store gave me registration card for it, he never gave me a receipt cause it was a trade in, so i cant send it away. Also just like this guy said when you press in on a knob (any knob, not just the channel you are on, it will go to full volume again. I am puzzled at this problem and searched on the web for days not much on the subject. I only use for practice never leaves volume of 4, never gigged never moved. I would like to maybe fix this problem as now i feel stupid for trading all that gear for an amp don't want to loose this amp. Also it was a brand new amp not preowned. Please Help......
Perhaps you have a bad capacitor on your volume control?
You can get an ESR meter and test your exposed isolation caps for leakage? The have to be removed so unplug the unit if you are gonna do any work inside the cabinet.
Also, try a shorter or higher quality guitar cable. This will cut impedance between the pickups and the amp.
Good luck and be careful!
