Ampeg Combo: Clicking in Tremolo Circuit?

Post by Kevin Macneil Brown »

Just fired up this nice old late-60s combo. It sounds great, except for static-y click in time whith the trem. If I turn off the trem it vanishes.
Any amp gurus out there who might know what's going on? Any help will be much appreciated. <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Kevin Macneil Brown on 28 January 2005 at 08:14 AM.]</p></FONT>

Look under the "Vibrato Problems" heading.
