(Sorry, was feeling “frisky” today) Okay frisky guy, gimme the can of WD-40, hammer and that duct tape. Now!

Ya might be kidding, but some joker was bound to mention WD-40 sooner or later. It's crap, and unusable for 99% of situations where people think it should be used. It is NOT a good lubricant. It IS a solvent. It is NOT as good as penetrating oil for situations where a solvent is required. And WD-40 should never be brought near a guitar.

(That is if you can remember what your objective was after taking the pot.)
Most pot is illegal now and can be replaced by alcohol.
In which case, exhale vigorously (after consuming internally) underneath the knobs and turn the knobs back and forth even more vigorously. The vapors won't do anything to the contacts but your brain will thank you for supplying it with the oxygen it needed to counteract the billions of brain cells you just killed by consuming the alcohol or pot.
If the "popping" continues, please refer to the "Hearing Disembodied Voices" thread for further advice.

If it can't be fixed by with a hammer, duct tape or WD-40, it must be an electrical problem, in which case, good luck.
