Click Remover

Click Remover repairs short, isolated faults such as record crackle, pops, brief clicks, and tiny dropouts. Use it for occasional interruptions rather than for a constant hiss or hum.

Listening Guide

  1. Start with Sensitivity at 50% and Max Repair Length at 1 ms.
  2. Raise Sensitivity gradually until the unwanted clicks become less noticeable. If drum hits or other sharp musical details become softer, lower it again.
  3. Increase Max Repair Length only when the faults last longer than a brief click. Keep it short for ordinary crackle.
  4. While the affected passage plays, use REPAIRS/S to confirm that the effect is finding faults; compare with the effect bypassed before keeping a stronger setting.

Parameters

  • Sensitivity (0–100%, default 50%) controls how readily the effect treats a short change as a fault. Higher values repair more suspected clicks; lower values are more conservative and better preserve sharp musical attacks.
  • Max Repair Length (0.1–2 ms, default 1 ms) limits the duration of each repair. Raise it for slightly longer pops or dropouts; lower it when repairing ordinary short crackle.

Reading the Display

REPAIRS/S shows the recent number of click repairs per second. A value near zero means no short faults are currently being repaired. A steady high value on normal music is a reason to lower Sensitivity or Max Repair Length.
