Lead dress can get rid of thuds and oscillations (keeping the wires away from those going to V4) but that’s usually a separate issue than the tick the cap cures. Sometimes the trem bleeds into the reverb as the wires going to the pots are usually together.

Interestingly I have never had to add the capacitor to stop the tremelo tick; just bunch up the wires going to that tube in a certain way and put a cable tie around them, and it became virtually inaudible. Other's mileage may vary.....

Well, thank you! Its about time. Thankfully i have been following all these videos as a fellow 65 super reverb owner. This may be the first item that gives me the confidence to work on my amp. Ive always had this tick. Always been terrified of killing myself, cause I had no idea how to discharge the amps voltage or how to check the voltage in the system. This repair seems easy enough.

Glad it's helpful! If you've never discharged the caps in your amp before I'd recommend buying something like the snuffer stick off the Weber site. I used one for a long time to discharge amps.

I managed to cure my 72 twin reverb’s ticking just yesterday lol. Throughly cleaned and removed moisture from the eyelet board. Although adjusting the lead dress may have accidentally done it

Many thanks for useful trick to eliminate ticks. I will do this on my deluxe reverb and Vibrolux reverb.

Yep that works. I had to use .02 in a 1967 Dual Showman to get the tick out.

For my Vibrolux I had to replace the roach to eliminate the ticking. This was after shortening wires, lead dress and adding a cap.

@@YeatzeeGuitar The trem worked well except for the ticking and I tried all the suggestions I could find online. Now when I switch off the standby I get an echo sound. I might have to ignore the standby switch now.lol

YEATZEE, I wonder where that 0.1uf capacitor is being added on the fender amplifiers schematic to see what its doing to the LDR or LFO filtering?

Why eliminate the trem tick? It acts as a metronome, lol. 😀
