EDIT - PROBLEM SOLVED
TO ANYBODY WHO GOES ON ABOUT HOW GREAT SWITCHCRAFT SWITCHES ARE, I CAN TELL YOU NOW "DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE"
SEE PAGE THREE
Three-way Les Paul toggle pops and crackles when I switch between pickups.
THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ONLY WHEN STRINGS ARE VIBRATING.
Wiggling the switch when strings are muted does not make any noise
I have tried three different switches - two of them are Switchcraft
I have tried three different amps - same on all of them
I have rewired all grounds to back of V pot. All the soldering looks good and does not appear to have any cold joints.
I have De-ox sprayed and buffed connection points with 1500 paper.
The mags run to a Graphtech piezo pre-amp and then to a stereo jack. Have checked all the connections there.
Bridge pickup has braided shield, neck is four wire with foil shield. Could anything be interfering with the Graphtech stuff?
I have metered between strings and where bridge ground connects to V pot - on the ohm setting it reads something and then rapidly dwindles to zero. Am I doing this right?
I've tried everything I can find on the web...
