This is in response to all those asking "why the heck does it matter?" It matters because if you are using a large pedal array which contains some of the boss units that "auto-on" (also some older DOD units do this too BTW), and have your series of pedals dialed in and activated/stacked how you like them, and you lose power or shut down the board, it actually is a pain in the neck to have to switch off all the pedals you weren't using for that session just to get back to your starting place. •Imagine if every time you turned on your guitar amp, the reverb button self activated, even though you'd switched it off. If you are a pedal person, and use a pedal array, having a bunch of pedals that self activate upon start up really is annoying. If you're using one or two pedals, I agree, not big deal. But it sucks to have to toe click a half dozen pedals before you can jam. The Metal Zone does this too, and if you forget that its on automatically you'll get blasted sometimes.
