UNIVERSAL BYPASS

™

Another added feature in the Soundblox 2 line is the addition of Universal

Bypass. In other effects pedals, both traditional bypass methods have

pros and cons associated with them. Active analog bypass (or buffered)

provides a consistent input impedance so that if the input is susceptible

(like a guitar pickup) to variations in input impedance there won’t be any

noticeable change in tone. Buffered bypass is typically quieter and less

prone to clicks and pops. True bypass has the beneﬁt of providing a dedi-

cated hardwired signal path but can cause clicks/pops typically requires

mechanically complex 3PDT (3-pole, double throw). Relay-based true

bypass is a better option but can cause tonal variations when the input

impedance is changed between when the effect is engaged vs. bypassed.

Ideally, the ﬁrst pedal in a signal chain should be a buffered input followed

by true bypass.

The Soundblox 2 line introduces Universal Bypass™ as the solution to this

problem. Each Soundblox 2 pedal can be conﬁgured in either buffered or

relay-based true bypass modes, depending on what is needed in a pedal

signal chain.

By default, the SB2 OFD Bass is set to use the relay-based true bypass.

To switch to buffered bypass press and hold the right footswitch when

powering up the pedal. Continue to hold the footswitch until the foot-

switch LED blink slowly 3 times. The pedal is now in buffered bypass.

To switch back to true bypass, repeat the same process with the left

footswitch instead.
