Smoothie switch pop.

Hi Guys,

built up a smoothie, all working fine but I'm getting that capacitor discharge type popping on first switching each time. I'm using the Millenium Bypass method and of course a DPDT switch. I notice on the schematic that there is an 'open' capacitor on the input of the circuit, and with the MBP method you can't ground the effect input on bypass. Anyone else run into this, or do you all use the 3PDT and ground the effect in?

Grounding the input in bypass is exactly what the wiring scheme does. You could try a pull down with your mill-bypass. Maybe check the led to see if it is contributing to the pop.

I didn't use the build dock wiring. Just standard DPDT with MBP. I've used many times before, usually alright except for high gainers where you get bleed through on bypass. So, in this instance the input isn't grounded on bypass. Ts not the LED or a loose ground otherwise fit would bang everytime. I can probably mug a pull down onto the board somehow.
