@PedalPCB I'm looking at the relay bypass board and considering using it in a couple projects. What's the purpose of the 2N3904?
I was reading up about Relay Bypass on the Coda-Effects blog. He has a post about anti-pop where he mutes the signal for about 40ms by sending the effect output to ground for via a photoFET. I was wondering if the 2n3904 here serves a similar purpose. If not, do you have another way to combat switch popping, or have you noticed any issues?
Here's the article if anyone feels like reading (he has a few about his whole relay bypass process).
