Cleaning up the lead dress around the vibe circuit, touching up shitty
solder joints in that area. and melting off excess circuit board wax
(possibly trapping moisture?) with a hairdryer all but eliminated the
tick in my SF Virbolux Reverb. Be carefull not to overheat components
with the hairdryer, though, just get it warm enough to allow the
excess wax to drip off (with the chassis at about 45 degree slant).
Mine had enough wax to make several emergency candles!
