Sick and tired of that ticking sound from your fender amp's tremolo? Well here's a simple fix, just what the doctor ordered.
I used a disc cap I had on hand, mostly for the looks. I'd recommend using something like these for the cap (.01uF / 10nF / 10000pF value):

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

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.

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

Yeah, they can be stubborn!

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.....

Opposite experience for me!

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
