I installed a new switch on my old Vox V810 Valve Tone because the old DPDT switch made noisy popping sounds when turned off & on

I wired a new 3PDT exactly the same yet the problem is still there, the switch is wired as before, because I'm not 100% sure of the exact functions of the wiring & how the LED is done on this pedal!!! ::)

1 OUTPUT to Jack            (4)       7 Yellow from PCB?
2 IN from Jack                 (5)        8 GREEN from PCB?
3 Orange to PCB IN?       (6)       9 Purple connected to Lug 1

Original wiring same as picture linked below

Anyone know an easy way to get rid of this popping noise when I switch the pedal on/off?

Thanks JK

Darrons 3PDT wiring scheme worked perfectly first time & I'm sure the pedal actually sounds better, maybe the extra ground wire made the difference because it seems to have more air & sparkle than before? Cheers Darron! ;D

Still swapping out various opamps & will be trying a few more mods along the way though!

As I recall, that pedal used the Millenium bypass in stock form.  I have one, and don't remember having popping problems, but I haven't used it for a while.  I'll have to get it out and check it.

Thanks for the info.
