Push/Pull - Active/Passive Tone - OBP2

Thanks guys.:D

This is what I'm using all the time... Does the other version have any advantage to this? for example, less popping noise when switching?
On my amp this has almost no noise when swiching (maybe sometimes the first switch makes noise, but after that it's virtually silent), but I found that some amplifiers behave other than that..

I suppose technically the second version I posted could give a bit more switch pop, since there are two switches running in series when you go into passive mode, but it really shouldn't matter.

I'm going to try the other one, I hope there would be a bit improvement, because with my version has a moment when _each_ contact flies between the positions... then the signal chain is cut for this short moment... OK, I'll come back with the results :)
 
well, I compared the two versions, and yeah, the first one seem to have less popping noise. thank you, I never thought of that before, though I knew both versions.. (I suppose the advantage comes from grounding the pre's input while in passive mode, so the input caps voltage won't rise, but I don't know really)
