Nevertheless, nowhere does it say explicitly that the pedal is true bypass. Why would EHX be so cagey about it, especially when they’re so happy to state it with regard to other pedals?

Yeah, either way, I think we can all agree that it’s a great pedal. :metal:

I really have no clue. Whenever I’ve had a boss pedal or once i had a dano tuna melt and a milkshake, no matter where it was in my chain it totally changed my fuzzes. I don’t use my big muff too much due to its loose wiring. All of my fuzzes use Silicon transistors and they’re no more than five years old. It’s just way easier to use true bypassed effects so I don’t have to worry about screwing up my sound and having to readjust everything just so I can have a chorus effect I’ll only use for one or two songs….. Obviously it’s rather a specific problem to the way I configure my guitar’s sound, so I’m not damning digital effects, they just aren’t for me. Buffered ehx pedals don’t seem to bother my signal at all….so good news there.

As far as my memory man:
The SMMH doesn’t suck anything in my experience just like everyone else says, great pedal, never letting it go, I was just curious. The number oen reason I have it is because it can do flanger/chorus sounds as well so if I need a trippy effect I can just dial it in rather than buying another effect.

I didn’t say they were digital. =[

Haha I used to have a boss ps-5 and used it like jack white uses his whammy. However I’ve concluded for now that octave up isn’t for me right now since I play in two/three piece bands. However my microsynth’s octave down is quite useful. :thumb:
