Barber Gain Changer Dual EQ Switch Toggle Popping

ryanshowers
I asked this question on the layout's page but thought it might get more traction here.  Apologies if this if frowned upon.

I've built the Gain Changer (layout page) with foot switchable volume/gain pots and eq switches, in an attempt to have a rhythm and lead setting in a single pedal.  The problem is I get popping when toggling between the eq switches, if they add the 8k2 or 16k resistors.  No/minimal noise if the eq switches are both in the off position (no resistors).  I ran vol 3 to the center lug of a 3pdt and the the other 2 lugs to eq 2 of each switch.

I own a Gain Changer and confirmed that the eq switch causes the same popping when toggling between positions, so this must be by design.

I'm simply a constructor of these pedals and have no idea what is happening inside the circuit.  Is there anything I can do to prevent the 3pdt from popping when toggling between the eq switches?

If it helps Barber has his schematic posted here http://www.barberelectronics.com/gainchanger.html

Thanks a ton for any help/suggestions
