Are not all created equal.
I might be a nerd and a corksniffer, but i notice a difference in my bypassed sound using an SD1 than a real true bypass overdrive. Its slight, but its there - better or worse? well i guess it depends how long your cable is.
However i definitely notice a big difference when i have my boss CE-3 plugged in. I've modified the pedal so now it sounds like a stereo version of a CE-2 (thanks vasshu for the mod info) and it is a beautiful chorus... nicer than the well regarded voodoo labs chorus.
Trouble is, that bypass sound really loads up my signal. Whatever kind of bypass circuit it has in there, it really is not what i like.
The same was true of my boss super phaser - they bypass was not good at all.
So, my question is this:
Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the bypass sound better on a ce-3 or just general ideas on how to make any boss pedal sound better in bypass? Would it just be a matter of metal film resistors and higher quality caps?
Bring on your ideas...
