Just finished building the parametric EQ. Works great and sounds awesome. Only issue im having is when hitting the footswitch it's making a really thick POP sound through the speaker. Anyway I could fix this?

Sometimes this is just something you have to deal with when using true mechanical bypass. You can try reducing the value of R1. Or you can convert it to non-true bypass.

Stock value is 470K. Try 220K or maybe even 100K.
