Tie-Down Resistors??

[spartadrive_in]

I have a few passive stomp boxes I made which are items like an EFX order switcher, a/b/y box and a true bypass box. The only thing requiring power is the LED in which I use a 9 Volt battery.
My question is that when I stomp the switch I get a popping noise sometimes. I was told that you use "tie-down" resistors to correct this. What value do I use and where exactly does it go? Does this correct the problem?
Also, I was thinking of adding a power jack so that I can plug in a boss power supply or other. Would this affect anything?

Thank you.

The popping sound your getting is probably the LED turning on. Go to Rg Keens site he has a fix for this problem. Its pretty simple, its just an added cap to ground and a resistor between the LED. It works pretty well. Hope this is some help.

Ok. I wasn't able to find his site. Do you have a link? Thanks.

Definitely bookmark this one... a LOT of good info.

As is outlined in the article in question (search "switch pop" on GEO), you can solder something like a 1Meg resistor from the input to ground. That's the easiest thing to try. R.G.'s site outlines a couple more methods...
