true bypass strip

Sign in to disble this ad
i noticed that most of your boards have a true bypass strip at the bottom. Why do you not have the same amout of switches on the strip as pedals? Are there certain pedals that you just always use together thats why they don't need their own spot on the strip?

I have adapted to not having ordered enough loops, that's the reality. I never planned for expansion, and should have ordered strips with more loops. So, I combined a few things on certain loops, which actually works out just fine.

Best,

At some point it becomes counterproductive. You add a lot of connections and wires in the circuits that deteriorate the signal much more than a crappy bypass.
Most pedals on the market have a decent bypass and unless you pile a lot of them, you won't lose a lot.
The only moment you really need a clean tone is when you use no effect at all so a single master loops covers most people's needs.
