Switching the pedal from true
bypass to buffered bypass mode
True Bypass and Buffered
Bypass explained
True Bypass mode is a hard-wire bypass that
gives absolutely no coloration of tone when the
pedal is bypassed. This is the default mode for
your effect pedal.
Using True Bypass on all pedals is a perfect
choice in setups with a few pedals and relatively
short cables before and after the pedals.
If…
►
you use a long cable between your guitar and
the first pedal or
►
if you use many pedals on your board or
►
if you use a long cable from your board to the
amp,
…then the best solution will most likely be to set
the
first and the last pedal in the signal chain to
Buffered Bypass
mode.
Can you hear the difference between a pedal in
True Bypass or Buffered Bypass mode?
Maybe, maybe not – many factors apply: active/
passive pick-ups, single coil/humbucker, cable
quality, amp impedance and more. We cannot
give a single ultimate answer. Use your ears and
find the best solution for your setup!
To set the bypass mode, proceed as follows:
►
Disconnect the pedal and turn it on its back.
►
Unscrew the back plate of the pedal and look
for the two small dip-switches in the upper
left corner.
►
The upper DIP switch (the one closer to the
power in jack), switches between True Bypass
mode (default) and Buffered Bypass mode.
►
Set the DIP switch to the desired position.
►
Remount the back-plate.
Kill-dry on/off
When you activate Kill-dry, the direct signal is
removed from the pedal’s output. Use this mode
when you place your TC Electronic effect pedal
in a parallel effects loop.
To set Kill-dry mode, proceed as follows:
►
Disconnect the pedal and turn it on its back.
►
Unscrew the back plate of the pedal and look
for the two small dip-switches in the upper
left corner.
►
The lower DIP switch (the one further away
from the power in jack), switches between Kill-
dry on and Kill-dry off mode.
You can only remove the dry signal from the sig-
nal path if you have selected Buffered Bypass
mode using the upper DIP switch – see “Switch-
ing the pedal from true bypass to buffered by-
pass mode”. Kill-dry is not available in True By-
pass mode.
