Posting here again, got another pocket pod with the same issue as before (the background rhythmic beat) and this one also produced a bit of more random noise Shoddily replaced the same pot as the previous posts and now works amazingly (it's noisy when using the AC adapter though)

Replaced the cap just like @EvilWish stated, (I did quite a poor job at soldering as you can see in the picture) But the clicking/beating is gone! It works perfectly and sounds beautifully! Great post, has been very helpful, I used the same snip and re-solder method rather than trying to de-solder (tried at first but the tip of my soldering iron seems deteriorated to do this) Thanks for all the help everyone!

Thanks for the info! My caps arrived recently, will post soon with more!

After considering other people's posts I see that the issue I have only happens through the headphone port and not the AMP out port, which makes very likely that the before-mentioned cap is the issue Sadly after opening the POD no obvious damaged cap is visible, so I'll just start replacing them and see if it has any effect Just ordered some parts, let's see how this goes!

Similar here, my pocket pod has some kind of "heartbeat" that beats every 2 seconds consistently, due to the cadence it sounds like a bad cap. I'd also like to replace them wondering the same as @danrogers whether you just solder them through the other side of the board. I'll open up my pod and come back with more =)
