i have to be honest with you and say...i have no idea if it is or not LOL. i never bother with getting all tied up in true bypass crap, i just adjust my amp to sound how i want it when i add a new pedal in (if it even makes a sound change when off), that's all. i've done that since i started using pedals and never had a problem.
i just realized i need that for one damn song. so without it i can't play one of my bands songs :smack: shows how long it's been since my band has played that song LOL.
hissy?? i NEVER had that problem at all and never heard of it either to be honest with you. after asking several people what reverb pedal to buy when i was looking for one, it was a landslide of votes for the holy grail over anything else (in pedal form). i used to run it all the time and have no complaints at all! it's under a year old and works and looks like new, i just don't need it anymore with my new rig i am working on.
you will see pics soon, the new head will be here sat, one of the 2 new pedals that replaced the ones i sold got here yesterday and the new pedal board will be here tuesday!!
