Would moving the prosound mod connections to the pre-pot positions eliminate this problem? Would that just make the output stay at max volume?
Yes and yes.

Spray some into the mechanism of the volume pot and then sweep the pot a bunch of times from max volume to min volume. With my guitar's volume pot I just have to sweep it a few times to get the scratchies out. I tried contact cleaner but the scratchiness just comes back eventually. Just sweeping it works just as well.]]>https://chipmusic.org/SketchMan32015-05-18T03:51:10Zhttps://chipmusic.org/forums/post/230281/#p230281<![CDATA[Re: How do I fix scratchy volume control in a DMG?]]>You seem to think there's a reasonable reason for composing at anything less than full volume.
