Success! I added the 100k resistor to output as suggested, and the pops are gone! As thank you for everyone's help, I've attached a photo of the finished product (a reference to the film "Bad Taste". A New Zealand film for a New Zealand pedal). Thanks!

Thanks for the helpful replies, y'all! To answer Chuck's earlier questions: 1. I'll need to jump on my computer to attach my pics as the forum doesn't like the file size. 2. The build docs were followed exactly as written (with the exception of the additional pulldown resistor, but the circuit...

I noticed in the schematic for Mad Bean's Hotcake clone there's a pull down resistor that is not in the Awful Waffle schematic (1M at input to ground). So, I rigged up this resistor, but no dice; still pops. So, I tried measuring the voltage across the input and output jacks. With power...

Thanks for the reply PJS. I checked R2 with a multimeter and it is 1M. I also successfully checked for continuity between R2 to R1 and R2 to R101. I did some reading prior to making the original post and could only find info on true bypass popping and pulldown resistors. However, I felt this...

I'm getting a very loud pop when initially engaging the Awful Waffle. However, once it has been turned on once, it does not pop again unless power is removed (unplugged from power supply) and then restored (plugged in again) and then engaged for the first time after restoring power. In other...

Looks great! It's been years since I've seen Hausu, so I'm going to have to include it in my upcoming October horror movie marathon.

Thanks! I lurked here and other forums for a while before attempting a build. I also followed Jovi Bon Kenobi's fantastic guide fairly closely. I'm going to have to build a Hausu themed pedal if he won't!

Got it figured out! Decided to try hooking the pedal up with the jacks hanging out of the enclosure, and I got sound. I think the sharp solder joint on the tip lug of the out jack was poking through the electrical tape insulation and making contact with the enclosure. I rotated the jacks 90...

Thanks for the suggestion! You were exactly right! I have continuity between GND, SW, and OUT. Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this issue. I couldn't find a bridge or wire strands making contact, so I desoldered the cables from the main board and the jack tip cables from the breakout...

I just assembled my very first pedal, and I have now experienced the "first pedal rite of passage": it didn't work. Initially I thought there was no sound at all (LED worked), so I built an audio probe and began following the audio path. By doing this I realized that there was audio coming...
