Kipper4

The reason I ask is because i once boxed up a son of screamer and the enclosure had not been grounded and it wasnt until i grounded the enclosure the pops went away.

May be it looks suspect but this is the third time I resolder everything..

I took Dc measurement again, nothing at input, nothing at output, I have a little bit dc from amp, like 8-10 mv, but this is my cheap amp, and I have the same problem from my good one, So I dont think it is coming from amp

JPGraphX

So: my pedal works perfect, LED isnt doing the pop, and I have tested all my parts, no DC from inout/output.. Damn!

Kipper4

So it works perfect with no pop outside the box?

No, I have a pop outside the box, I meant, everything works well except I always get a pop whatever I do.

Someone stated earlier try without the switch.

So hyou will take thes and touch them together for the in out wires and jacks. if you get a pop then you know it's the switch.

I'm not sure how to rewire everything? Do I have to remove everything on the switch? Please give me some hints

Think about how the switch works - it connects lugs inside it.

Just paperclip the appropriate lugs outside it.

looking at the circuit, R1 being the input pulldown is rather a high value at 22M. perhaps if you reduce this resistor to 1M thereabouts.
don't make me draw another line.

I think I did a 10M in mine with no issues, not that I thought there would be one of course.
