Bypass modes and Kill-Dry on/off

Unscrew the backplate and look for the two small DIP switches in the upper left corner.

The upper DIP switch (the one closer to the DC 9V in connector) switches between True Bypass mode

(default) and Buffered Bypass mode.

True Bypass

Buffered Bypass

Kill-Dry – off

Kill-Dry – on

True Bypass

is a hard-wire bypass, ensuring there is absolutely no tone coloration when the pedal

is bypassed. Using True Bypass on all pedals is the perfect choice for setups with a few pedals and

relatively short cables going to and coming from the pedals.
