Buffered Bypass – If you use a long cable between your guitar and the first pedal or if you use many
pedals on your board or if you use a long cable from your board to the amp, then the best solution will
most likely be to activate the buffer in the first and last pedal in the signal chain.
Can you hear the difference between a pedal in True Bypass or Buffered Bypass mode? Maybe,
maybe not, – many factors apply. Active/passive pick-ups, single coil/humbucker, cable quality, amp
impedance and more. We cannot give a single ultimate answer. Use your ears and find the best
solution for your setup!
Kill-Dry on/off – With Buffered Bypass activated (upper switch to the right), the lower dip-switch sets
Kill-Dry on/off. Kill-Dry removes all direct signal from the pedals output and is the mode to use when
the pedal is placed in a parallel effects loop.
Kill-Dry is NOT an option in True Bypass mode.
Changing battery – Unscrew the thumb-screw on the back of the pedal and detach the back-plate.
Unmount the old battery and attach the new battery to the battery clip making sure the polarity is
correct. Then remount the back-plate. To save battery life, remove the input jack when you don’t play.
Batteries must never be heated, taken apart or thrown into fire or water. Only rechargeable
batteries can be recharged. Remove the battery when the pedal is not being used for a longer
period of time. Dispose batteries according to local laws and regulations.
