Hello,
I have built several effects and I have a decent working knowledge of DIY building. I recently etched my own PCB and made a Neutrino and while everything works fine no matter what I try I cannot get rid of the popping when switching the effect.
I have tried replacing the input cap, raising R1 from 1M to 2.2M, ensuring all of my grounds are good, general inspection for cold solder joints (etc) and disconnecting the (regular red ie not ultra bright) LED.
I even went so far as to build a second pedal and it has the same issue.
Would adding a pull down resistor to the ouput/ground on the board help? I tried connecting one from the out lug to the ground lug on the switch but that did not work.
One thing that perplexes me is that the LED will come on without jacks inserted. Is this somehow connected to my popping issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
