What’s the Big Deal About True Bypass? By DAVE HUNTER Thu, 13 Dec 2012
The phrase “true bypass” has become a watchword for the pedal industry, and it’s high on most buyers’ lists of priorities. But is true bypass as essential a feature as so many pedal makers would have us believe?
True bypass, aka “hardwired bypass,” occurs when the input of an effect is wired directly to the output via the on/off switch when it’s in the “off” position, rather than being routed through (or connected to) part of the circuitry the entire time.
