Really makes me wonder what someone was trying to do in there though.

I was asking if you meant each resistor for each channel or each side of a single resistor. I looked and it became obvious what you meant. Going to try when I get off work.

As nitro said, scrape off the old flux/gunk and the heat will flow more easily to the pre-existing solder points, melting them.
Pretty sure you can get a replacement pot from radioshack if you wanted to.

This is good to know! I'm goin to try the resistors first.

Yes, the iron is a bit shitty. A small piece of the tip broke off a few weeks ago but now seems to heat faster.

The solder probably rolls away because because of all that gunk. (And/or your solder or soldering iron suck.) You might be able to clean that up. But regardless, a pre-pot prosound is still viable. Just follow the signals back a tiny bit. you'll find that the pre-pot signal points connect to two resistors next to each other, one for each channel. If you can solder to any point there you might be good to go. You could also try on the top side, by soldering the signal wires directly to the resistors. If you do this, and nothing is shorted  out on the dirty side, you should have a working prosound.
