Adrian	Ugly pop Say 'pagers, I have a problem with a pedal i built. It is a EH Hogs foot clone which a useful pedal in my bass world. Darn thang pops pretty loud sometimes when i switch it on or off, sometimes much louder than other times. This happens usually when the pedal is being turned off after being on for a part of a song (and has been on for 20 seconds or more. I assume this has to do with DC buildup in the circuit but as i understand it the input and output caps should keep this from happening. Both are 3.3uf caps positive end towards the circuit. Have any of y'all had this problem? Fixed it? Can't switckh on beat every time.... Ad.
