Hi, I've started trying to make pedals very recently and i've been going nuts trying to figure out how to deal with this issue.
I recently tried to make a ehx Pulsar tremolo using the tonepad schematic and used exactly the parts they said to use, except the dpdt switch. The effect is working but with a big problem, instead of earing just the signal, a very loud click comes along with the rest of the signal at the tempo of the tremolo.
I tried using an audio probe but i'm still very new to these procedures and often find myself lost in the pcb. One thing i noticed though is that in the ic used (TL072) the click is coming out of pin1, but i'm not sure if that's the source of the problem.

Sorry if this was discussed previously.

Something like this right?

Found this while searching the forums and tried it today, but the ticking is still there.
I have two tremolos built and both have the same issue, tried doing that on both and still nothing.
