Can you turn off the effect of a sansamp and still use it as a DI?

In specific the sansamp bddi. I'd like to give it sort of an overdrive feel, but not all the time and I don't want to get down and adjust it. So if I turn off the effect does the DI still run?

[Gadgetjunky]

Yes! It's an active DI all the time, then the footswitch kicks on the shaping,etc. you can balance the levels so you can easily have clean/dirty at a stomp

[G.Bisson]

Yes, DI is still active and the 1/4" output is buffered bypass

on my BDDI Programmable i dial back presence, drive & set eq to flat and i get a clean signal. DI is consistant.
