Switches popping

[johnnyfi]

Hi all,

I'm wondering what I can do to help eliminate that annoying popping when I switch my designs on and off.  It seems to be more prominent in higher-gain circuits.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Do you have pull down resistors in your circuit?

If you use the wiring diagram that grounds the board input in bypass you may not even need the pulldown resistors.  The diagram is available at several sources (I think GGG has it in their wiring options for one).  Just look for the diagram that says something about "input grounded in bypass" or something similar.  This is the same method used in the original Fuzz Faces.

Mine pop even if wired grounded in bypass. I wonder whether this would disappear when using millenium bypass.

Sometime it's due to something else. I had a circuit that popped not matter what with an active preamplifier in a guitar. Took an series resistor at the input to solve the popping.
