i think this its the most problematic pedal i have ever build, i have a brand new problem the pop...

it just happen when i stop using the pedal for a while or has been bypass for some time, after the first pop i can press bypass many times, but never return until i leave for a while off, so i was thinking may be the led??, i have a 2.2k resistor on that(as i always do) but could it be sucking too much power that, when its off for a while sucks to much power the first time it turns on???

Mine does that same thing, I just turned it on and off before rehearsal or a show. Never was an issue after that.
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

so its a thing of the pedal itself?? umm i kinda rare, but i think i have to do the same as you do, hope i never forget to do that

I had this problem with one build and it ended up being a shoddy electrolytic cap. Just a thought.

i could try to repalce all electrolics, maybe using a electo instead of a tantalum its the problem
