Switch Squeling???

[Stevo]

I wired up a DPDT for true bypass with no led...Have high distortion booster circuit and it works well on the bench test...when I hook up for true bypass it squels ..I have tried two and the two different ways to wire it..The switch acts like some sort of bad pot but I know they are good..I have added 470k to the output to tame it a little, no good :shock: This happens a few times do I need a cap somewhere.....or is my distortion to much gain??   I think I have had this trouble with a few circuits but gave up on them.....So how can I wire DPDT switch with high gain distortion not to squel when on? Please any help is greatfull :?:

Use the outside lugs of a 3PDT...thereby separating the in/out signal paths a bit?
 Use another stage to re-invert the signal? [I didn't say re-invent the wheel ..lol].
  Blackfire [a very high gain OD] went through some 'morphs', after some encarnations reported squealing or osci problems. Joe Davisson figured out that 'mechanical electrick', another stage to invert and 'sneak' the in/out signal past each other without reacting.
 ... :oops:  lower the gain or try using slight signal path to ground caps [?].
 This type of thing may be tricky [trial and error] to isolate...shielding?

shielding?

That'd be what I'd try first, I think. Particularly the "return" from the effect circuit and the output wire.

After countless trys and tearing up my tone control and all the switching of switchs ....The simple thing fixed it a cap from the end signal to ground :oops:   Man this thing has drive still no squeling...One pot guess I will put it in a box and call it fet booster.......no real tone changes so it is alright....dual booster like AMZ w/J201 they wail  :roll: ..Thanks
