Hey everybody and after a month or two I guess of no posting here and whatnot I'm finalyl back, I'm feeling better than before!
So lately I'm attempting a pedalboard design, the question is, I have a Behringer Octaver which does teh job pretty fine but has a bad bypass from what I get, I guess it does weaken the tone of my guitar to the point it won't be shred-able :icon_lol: like all the strength goes, not really hearable I guess but I can feel it when I'm playing, I dont have a A/B pedal so I can't really compare it so I'm thinking it might also be a placebo effect.
Anyways, what's my best bet? making a true bypass looper pedal? maybe getting a better buffer? may be a little booster after the octaver? I'd love to have a 'fixed' unit that'd be on all the time rather than on/off cause I don't have a stompswitch at this moment
welcome back man!..i know what you mean about some pedals 'sucking' that little, but crucial bit..
i guess you could probe it, and see if you can bypass the buffer and whack a 3pdt in there..eventually.. ;)

thanks man :) I missed this community :)
actualy I guess putting a 3pdt in there is not gonna work, those guys use those tiny components (I forgot the name of that kind/type) so I doubt I could do anything on the PCB, thou having a little box with a 3pdt for true bypass on that thing wouldn't be that bad, I just can't get a 3pdt at the moment (no bank account, no credit card, nothing at all :P ) so I thought I might be able to do something other than the obvious approach :)
