Just grabbed a microverb and it seems to be scratchy? It's fine when the knobs are left alone but when making adjustment this thing is scratchy and poppy? Not sure if that the right way to describe it but it's loud. Should this thing be quiet when fiddling with the knobs or is this normal? Thanks all.

I had the same problem with mine...just get some Deoxit contact cleaner and spray just a little into each pot. Shazaaaammmm!!!! Sounds brand new!! You can get it at any Radioshack for about 5 bucks.

That is some good advice... I've had a couple of them and one was scratchy, one wasn't. It really is no big deal as long as you can get it set to where it sounds fine when left alone. But if it's getting to you, Deoxit is the way to go!

Always good to have a can around, cleaning switches and whatnot
I would reiterate the above in saying you have to buy several of them to find a good one. You can also swap out the chips inside as they tend to range from TI (Texas Instruments) to unknown Korean type.
