Phase II clicking noise

So I finished my Phase II build and everything seems to work. Only issue is when I'm bypassed there is a clicking noise that gets passed through to the amp. The LED for the LFO is still blinking. Don't know if that should be the case when the pedal isn't turned on.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
 
Yes, the LED for the LFO should keep cycling in bypass.

Make sure the wires going to your Input/Output jacks are as far away from the PCB as possible. You might try moving them around with the pedal on to see if that helps.

As a last resort you could use shielded wire, but I've never had to go to that extreme.
 
Yep, your input wire is running right below the LFO LED.

Try to bring the wire above the PCB and lift it as far away as possible, that should do it. I had the same issue with a Duo-Phase build a while back.

Thanks for the help. That did the trick!
 
thanks for this post, also had a ticking issue for the Phase II and used a shielded wire just on the input wire, ticking went away.
 
Actually, ticking like that means they're about to explode, and if the ticking stops they could go at any moment.

You should send any ticking pedals to me for safe BOM disposal and defusing.
