issue with effect chain

[Billy K]

When I turn my amp on 2 pedals are active. I always have to turn them off. Interestinly I changed the chain around last week and this is still an issue.The only thing that didn't change was the wah pedal.So I am assuming that something about this pedal makes it go active when I put power to the board.It also activates the next pedal in line.What do I look for to change this or just step on them every time I power up and turn them off.It is not a big deal just a little pain in the ass.

My chorus pedal does this sometimes. It is really a pain because the LED on it doesn't work and I have it dialed in with just a slight bit of effect, so I don't always hear it right away.

A couple of my Boss pedals do this as well. I don't know of a way to fix it.

Normally this happens when the effects aren't using true bypass with a 3dpt or 2dpt+millenium switch, but are using an momentary switch to trigger the digital switching system of a kind.
As far as I know, the only way to change that is if you open up the pedal, (in most cases throw the enclosure away and make a new one) and use a 3dpt switch for switching....you actually have to build an fx loop inside the pedal.
Thats the easiest way

my pedals stay where I last used them. If they are off when I power down, they are off when I power up. Must be the type of switch in the pedal

My "Fix" for this is going to be to throw away the chorus pedal.
