SOLVED Pop Goes the Pedal…

[Coda]

I build a p2p Alembic Stratoblaster over the weekend, and it sounds great, thanks for asking. The only issue is a pretty loud pop at the footswitch. Thing is, I’ve already added pulldown resistors…both at the jacks and at the circuit input. No difference.
Any ideas offhand?…

Going by memory here: The Stratoblaster has no input capacitor, right?

Nope. You thinkin DC on the input?…

Maybe.

What’s your bypass arrangement like? Are you shunting either the input or output of the circuit to ground in bypass?

I figured it out…



R4 was connected to the wrong side of C2. No pops now…
