I'm probably just going to store it in the garage or give it to some friend of mine who wants to try and make it work
Thurston uses a Bandit for a lot of his solo stuff as well - they all make noise about the same

Does anyone have any idea what's the problem?
Definately sounds like an input jack or input stage problem Maybe running a patch cable through the effects loop would help? I had a Bandit 112 years ago and had my share of problems with it (All kinds of noise and volume dropping in and out).

That solved the volume drop problem!!! maybe I'll keep the mp after all, for the distortion problem i can just lower the lows and mids

edit. thanks SAVEStheDAY :)
