Tremolo ticking, or should I sat thumping

Post by prefsnider »

I have this Marshall 18 clone and it has a "tremolo thumping" (similar to Fender trem ticking) issue. Once you hit "4" on the speed and intensity it starts to become audible. Increasing the speed increases the thump, just like trem ticking in a Fender. The trem ckt in this amp is identical to the Marshall 18 ckt. Any simple solution to eliminating this noise? Pete

I assume you already did some googling on the topic? It usually comes down to lead dress and tube rolling. Don't underestimate the tube part. Some do it ,some don't.
