My pedal turns on when I plug it in. For some reason, when I plug in my DC brick, the my Boss TR-2 automatically turns on. Is there any way to reverse this? I mean it's easy enough to just shut off obviously, and not that I don't love the effect, I just don't want to get a surprise someday at a show. |

All my other pedals are true bypass and stay in the mode as they were when powered down. |

I actually always go through all my pedals and turn them all on and off as soon as I plug them in anway to make sure that they're all getting power. |

There have been too many times in the past where I had a bad connection and didn't check before hand.

I couldn't work out where my low end was going. turns out the power was going off an on quickly, resulting on wah being engages in toe down position! Very annoying. Ended up completely bypassing the pedal board.

Out of curiosity, what's this true bypass mod everyone is talking about?
