Sounds like you need to get the gain pot (potentiometer) replaced. Sometimes they can be cleaned but usually you are simply better to replace it. It shouldn't be expensive. If you are competent with electronics you could do it yourself, however if not I would recommend that you put it into a shop. Amps contain various capacitors that are dangerous as they can contain a lethal charge long after power down, so better safe than sorry. Component wise it's likely to cost less than $20. Labour wise it's likely to be a 30 minute job. I used to have a Peavy Renown. Great transistor amp!

Hey Christopher, welcome to Songstuff!

Luckily I live in Scotland where there are at least a few pipemakers, and Ireland isn't far away... that said they are still pretty expensive. Last time I checked they were about £4000 but that was almost 10 years ago. Price is certainly a major factor in when I can buy a set. Who knows maybe one day. My previous set of highland pipes were made by kintail, I think my practice chanter was made by Hardys. i tried a set of Pakistan pipes about 30 years ago and they were shockingly bad for playing and tuning. Nothing like a decent set of pipes. More like an ornament and a poor one at that,

I'd love a set of Uileann or small highland pipes
