It was late when I tested my build and the amp was very low. When I plugged in today I realised I had the dreaded ticking sound

First thing I tried was swapping op amps 6A and 6B with TL022s. It didn't help, but it didn't hurt so I left them there

The actual solution has been discussed a lot so it wasn't a surprise. It's caused by the hookup leads proximity to the LFOs. Here's a TL;DR for those who haven't built it yet:

After making this change my bypass signal was still ticking. The solution here was to place a buffer in front of the effect

I'd recommend getting a C-Buffer daugherboard if you're planning to build this:

So... a frustrating hour or two. But you'll have no trouble if you know this in advance
