FAQ Octa-Switch

Quistion:

Answer:
.................................................................................................................................................................
I’m having a situation with my Octaswitch 
with loud POP noise, I know that most cases 
of popping noises comes from the pedals
not from the Octaswitch.
The situation is when you shift 2-3 pedals at the same time, which of cause is the hole idea with the Octa, there can be a DC leak from some of the pedals and in some cases the Amp's input, and it's these different DC potentials from the different pedals that cause the POP noise.
And the Octa being 100% true bypass there's no electronics to filter these pop noises.

A solution can be to place a buffer or a pedal that has buffered bypass after the Octa, this way the Amp's DC leak is separated from the pedals DC leak.
