Baja Sagittarian - switch pop [SOLVED]

[DjPsychic]

Hey all,

I've got an older Baja Sagittarian made by "Mojo Pedals" that has a pretty bad switch pop. Would soldering a pull down resistor between the switch and PCB input wire work?

Thanks

To test, unsolder the wire from the switch terminal to the LED cathode to see if the pop is coming from the LED.

You can use a 1M resistor (pulldown resistor) across the input tip and ground.

You can use a 1M resistor (pulldown resistor) across the input tip and ground.

It works, but in this way the 1M resistor is always connected to guitar signal, even in bypass.
You should put that resistor directly on the PCB, across the IN pad and ground.
Or, on the 3pdt switch, across the pin connected to IN of PCB, and ground (pay attention, 3pdts are quite delicate and you don't want to apply too much heat on the pins. The risk of melting is high)
