Multi-Users: How is your bypass?

Line 6, Boss, Korg, Zoom users, come one, come all!

How is your bypassed tone compared to going straight into your amp?

I can't stand the bypass on my AX3000B. Such a tone sucker.

I've used a Zoom B2 a fair bit. The bypassed tone is fine but there is some effect on the gain or some kind of compression IME. I'm not sure what it is but I noticed a difference with my overdrive pedal and with a compressor. It's similar to the buffered bypass on my Boss RC-20xl.

The bypass on my Zoom B2.1u is acceptable with very little insertion loss, much better than the 607 I used to use.

Bypass sucks on all multis. Some are better than others but they all lack transparency.

ZOOM B2 bypass, in all practicality, is hard to tell it's in-line at all. solo'd in the studio you 'might' here a difference.
