No trim for this. If you don't have a scope, you could poke around with an audio probe (an audio input that has a fairly high impedance) and see where in the chain it appears. You could use a voltmeter to check the VCA control signal with a scratch patch selected. And you could try swapping ICs with another channel to see if the problem moves. But ultimately, you'll have to fix whatever is broken.
