Howdy,
I've got a wah pedal that I love to death.  However, when I'm recording you can hear when the top of the switch comes in contact with the bottom of the rocker (there's felt in between).  It's not pot noise, because I've replaced the pot recently.  It has happened with both switches I've installed in my pedal as well.  Any suggestions, or am I just going to have to live with it?  Thanks.

*EDIT*  I'm not talking about when the switch is used to engage or bypass the effect.  It happens when there's incidental contact during use.

Possible the inductor being microphonic, I have seen that before
