you're right, it doesnt happen during record, just Overdub and Playback
mode.

I've noticed that the 'ticking' starts to become more pronounced during
multiple overdubs (i.e. i switch out of Overdub to Play, then back into
Overdub again).

It is definately something to do with the Guide because i can change the
rate of the ticking by using the tap tempo button!  I've also tried the
RC-20 on it's own, in a chain of effects, with and without psu power and 
the
noise is still there!

Very strange!
