So the general consensus among all the people drooling over the fact that I’ve got one of the early shipments of the awesome new B9 Organ machine is that the “organ output” is the standard issue “wet signal” only output. That would make sense as I want to route my guitar dry signal through the B9 independent of the organ tones so I can add distortion and effects completely separate of the organ signal and then I output them to different amp sources as well.
HOWEVER, with my unit, when I bypass the pedal, I also get a dry signal outputting through the “organ” jack which means if I want to toggle the effect off, then suddenly I’m getting dry guitar coming out of that jack as well which is NOT HELPFUL.
My question is, did I get a faulty unit or is that the way this was designed? If you think about it, having the effect/dry jacks doesn’t really make sense if it defeats the effectiveness of the on/off toggling of the pedal itself at the same time.
Please let me know – I love the pedal but as it stands now, I have to leave it on all the time if I want parallel paths or run it in line which greatly defeats the effectiveness of the organ tones as I also love my other effects. Please advise!

You are implying that we have communicated before – I have never received any communication from you or anyone with EHX. So “as I wrote you” makes no sense. Wrote me when?
I do appreciate the response – just puzzled by it. First b/c we’ve had no communication before this thread or outside of it either. Secondly (and back to my original question) I do not understand why the pedal would be designed this way. Please help me understand the application for it in its current configuration. Namely, what is the purpose of a dry through if the footswitch on/off also engages a dry signal at the other jack as well. I can understand the logic for a dry and a wet jack, but I’m missing how the implementation works when dry signals will be present at both jacks once the unit is disengaged.
I’m not meaning to be thick here – just trying to understand how I can run a parallel path when disengaging the pedal reintroduces a dry signal into things.
Thanks in advance for the enlightenment!
