Electric mistress deluxe true bypass????

[fenderiarhs]

I really love my electric mistress deluxe reissue except for the tone sucking and volume drop.........So i would like to mod it for TB but i only have the instructions for the older versions while i have the reissue which has a different layout......

Does any of the pedal experts of the forum has any idea on how to mod the EH electric mistress deluxe reissue for TB????

Build a true bypass box, 4 jacks and a DPDT (no LED, no power required), or a 3PDT if you want a LED (which will need power). It is MUCH easier and more cost effective for you.

while i understand the use of a true bypass box i find it to be a rather bad idea for my already crowded pedalboard of 13 pedals and already big dimensions and weight......I would prefer the classic mod for true bypass....The EM deluxe already comes from the factory with a DPDT switch so the only thing one has to do is resolder some wires around........any ideas??

There will be more than just swapping some wires around, trust me. It's not that easy with those things. If you do it right, you can fit make a TB box in a Hammond 1590A enclosure, see the Robert Keeley one. http://www.robertkeeley.com/product.php?id=23

sorry i don't want to start a fight but we'd better be sure of what we are saying.......and for modding the EM for true bypass you JUST have to resolder a couple of wires around (provided you have a DPDT switch)......

That won't cure the drop when engaged...

Well, as long as yours has that same DPDT switch, that'll do it. From what I can tell, you connect the white/orange striped wires together, A & C, C & D are jumpered together, but what about the effect output wire? Image 2 fails to show that. At least I don't see it. Using the 3PDT is easy, sure. That's simple enough given that the space is there.

problem is that the solution i've posted above applies to the old electric mistress.......on the new reissues the circuit is not the same and i am unable to locate the FX in and the FX out on the board.......:banghead::banghead:
