Ok, now you've got me curious! How?

My experience has been closer to Gordon's, that contact bounce in mechanical switches causes clicks more-or-less whatever you do.

The current fashion for "True bypass" has always amused me somewhat, as when I was younger "Noiseless switching" was the big deal, and the Boss pedals with their bistable-controlling-FETs scheme were thought the height of sophistication!

Thanks,
