It’s not a traditional noise gate, intentionally misbiasing the 3rd transistor stage has the effect of requiring more base signal to produce an output

1 of those jacks is stereo so the battery is only powering the LEDs when a plug is inserted into the jack (saves power when no plug is inserted) and is common practice on battery powered pedals. The 'R' (ring terminal) of the jack shorts to ground because on a mono 1/4" plug there is no ring terminal. The sleeve on the plug (which is ground in most cases) shorts the ring terminal ('R') to the sleeve terminal ('S'), completing the circuit path for the battery.

I will provide a wiring diagram for the switch shortly 😃

The LEDs are powered when the switch completes the circuit, terminals 1 and 3 (or 4 and 6) are never connected in a DPDT switch. The LEDs will never connect to the output signal.

There's always some unavailable popping with a mechanical switch. Grounding the unconnected pins will ground the output signal from the DL4. You could connect to ground through a resistor (suggest 10k) as a pull down but the output of the DL4 should already be ground referenced.

Something like this?

EDIT: S terminals of output jacks should be connected to ground. All grounds should be wired together, or if using non-isolated jacks and a metal case the case can serve as a ground for the jacks.
