Post by: Guitafuzz on March 19, 2012, 07:39:10 PM
Appreciate it if you could help me on how I can remove the pop sound so loud when I change my bypass pedal that purpose.

  I need to add some resistance to the switch? Thnaks In Advance

Yes, you could try adding a resistor to ground on the output of the effect board, something like 1M or 100k. You can do that on the switch, or on the board.

If that doesn't work, it could be mechanical noise from the switch being amplified. You could try one of those relay bypass boards to see if that cures it.

It's not going to do anything adding a resistor on the output.  You're already bleeding to ground with the 10k pot at the output.

Check the orientation of C4. most of my switch-pop issues have been from electrolytics that were in backwards..
