Greetings,
Well there is no shortage of switch pop posts. I'm at my wits end here. I've read more than I care to about switch pop. Unfortunately, none have solved my issue. If anyone has ideas of what the issue can be, I would welcome your input.

- On the Mach 1 side, I get a pop when engaging and disengaging.
- On the Mahayana side, I get a pop when engaging but not disengaging.
- On the 4PDT order switch I get a pop both ways.
- Changing the order switch does not change the behavior of the Mach 1 or Mahayana popping.
- Went through the @comradehoser troubleshooting order of operation
- Verified component values
- Voltage reading for ICs and transistors (below)
- Continuity checks between components and off-board items
- DIdn't use the audio probe because I'm getting the effect - they sound great! - they just pop
- Tried putting a 1M pull down resistor on the output jack - no help
- 1M resistors from the 3PDT switch ground to output - no help
- Disconnected all LEDs - no help
- Put a 100nF cap across the input terminals on the 3PDT switch
-
- This actually helped a great deal but rolled off ALL of the high end.
