Bypass
It’s important to select the Bypass function that works best with your setup. gives you
the choice of Bypass type – DSP Bypass, Relay Bypass or DSP+FX Bypass. ’s default
Bypass setting is DSP Bypass.
DSP Bypass
When set to DSP Bypass, bypassing sends the audio at the DSP’s inputs directly to the outputs
without any effects processing. This type of bypassing works well in most situations, and
protects against gain and tone changes when bypassed.
Relay Bypass/True Bypass
Some guitarists prefer a “true bypass” in which the pedal’s electronics are completely
disconnected from the signal path. When [RELAY] Bypass is selected uses relays to
“hard wire” your inputs to your outputs. (In fact, whenever ’s power is off, ’s
electronics are completely bypassed by the relays.)
Relay Bypass is not a good choice, however, if ’s input is your guitar and you’ve
connected ’s output directly to a non-instrument level input device or have connected
to your amp over a long cable. Non-instrument inputs are often low impedance (typically
<10k ohm) and will load the guitar output and change its tone. DSP Bypass allows to
act as a buffer, providing a low impedance output (500 ohm) capable of driving any device
input or cable length.
Note: Relay Bypass should not be used if the Input/Output Lvl switches are set opposite to
one another. Specifically, if the Input Lvl switch is set for GUITAR and the Output Lvl switch is
set to LINE or the Input Lvl switch is set for LINE and the Output Lvl switch is set to AMP,
will not have unity gain. In this case, using Relay Bypass will result in a level change
whenever you Bypass .
DSP+FX Bypass
When [DSP+FX] is selected, Bypass sends the audio at the DSP’s inputs directly to the outputs
with the decaying ‘tail’ of the current effect mixed in.
Selecting Bypass Type
The Bypass mode is selected in System Mode (for more information on how to enter and
navigate System Mode refer to the System Mode section of this document) under [BYPASS].
[DSP] is the default. Here’s how to change it:
1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few
seconds to enter System Mode.
2) Turn the Encoder until [BYPASS] is displayed.
3) Momentarily press the Encoder.
4) Turn the Encoder until [BYPASS TYPE] is displayed.
5) Momentarily press the Encoder.
6) Turn the Encoder to select [DSP] or [RELAY] or [DSP+FX].
7) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few
seconds to exit System Mode.
