I have a green ringer that I adore but it has a little pop on the footswitch. By itself it's not too bad but once it's amplified by my dirt pedals, it's deafening. I turned it on before a song last time we played live and people were visibly unhappy with the sound. And not in the fun ILF way.
Apart from buying a bypass looper that takes valuable board real estate, is there any way to work around this? Maybe a footswitch replacement? I'm gonna have to take it off the board if I can't figure something out, which sucks because I definitely use it a lot. But I can't have that pop.

Re: Ridiculous footswitch pop
Yeah, I think the footswitch probably just needs to be replaced.

Smash it with a hammer and light it on fire. That's the only logical suggestion I can make.
OH! Record it too!

I always have this problem on phaser pedals with mechanical switch, but on a green ringer it may be as simple as how you wired the LED on the 3pdt switch

If you have room, something like this (if the replacing stomp switch doesn't work)
