Members Grueller Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 A helpful user on another site mentioned this: "if I have the effect bypassed and I then hold down the pedal, the feedback function kicks right in (at a speed set by the feedback knob). Once you release the pedal however, it reverts to the boost being on. You then have to hit the pedal again to bypass." Is there a way to modify this pedal so there's no need for the second tap to disengage the boost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members evets618 Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 I don't own the pedal, but there's a boost level and two tone controls. It seems you should be able to get close to unity gain by adjusting the knobs to taste. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grueller Posted January 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's what Burgs recommended in the PGS demo, and it comes close to sounding transparent but still not fully there IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grueller Posted January 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 So far, all I can think of is the G-Labs true bypass wah pad, although it's expensive for a single solution (around $150 USD), and I'd have to deal with the extra surface area. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use a cable between your electric guitar and amp? Guess what? Not transparent.All those pesky resistors and capacitors actually living inside your electric guitar and the amplifier its connected to by that cable? Not transparent.Any other pedals and cables in your signal chain?Not transparent.I could go on. The species of wood, the pickups, pot values, string gauge, speakers, picks, operator caffeine intake, et cetera, et cetera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grueller Posted January 4, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 I should've known my use of "transparent" would trigger a semantic dispute... You're talking about all things essential to the signal path. Leaving a pedal always on with everything set to noon, setting yourself much further from transparent than without it (and noticeably so), is not what I consider the best approach. Bump.

Phil O'Keefe Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'd probably just get used to double-tapping it really fast to shut it off. There may very well be a way to modify the switching, but I don't have one, have never tried one, and have never looked at the schematic, so I have no idea how they implemented it. Sorry. I have an idea - have you asked over on the DIY forum? They might know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an idea - have you asked over on the DIY forum? They might know. Thanks for the suggestion. Seriously, I never think about the other forums here. I'm a bad forumite. But I will try them out, and if all else fails, then yeah I really don't mind the double tapping at the end of the day. It's more just a convenience/luxury that would be pretty sweet if possible but not a huge let down otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
