hi all!!!!!
my orange squeezer crashed my X-mas holydays!!!!!
working for hours on it after a nice job using the tonepad layout and everything was ok till i boxed using a dpdt with a millenium bypass 2(BS170, 1n4001, 1n4148 and a 1k res for the led) it POPSSSSSS a lot when i switch it!!!!!!!!!! checked many times all the connections and everything seems to be right in there - note that few days before i built a green ringer using the same dpdt switch with the same millennium 2!!!!  :evil:  :evil:- this looks like my first really unsolvable problem could you send me some help (and some luck maybe...) i know this is a very common problem but i've also traveled in the archives without finding something that really can fix my Amletic £&/£"(&(/$= :?
thanks
