    Actually, yes.

    It’s not about if I could have told the difference or not. Just doesn’t inspire confidence when a product description says one thing and the product is another.

    Then to have support look at a schematic and say assertively that it is true bypass. I returned the pedal thinking it was defective to find the same and eventually be given the excuse of “oh yeah, we changed the design.”

    Point is, I waisted two months with this ordeal just to find out that the product wasn’t what was described. That’s either bad quality control, or they just don’t have their stuff together.

    Needless to say, I kept the pedal and do use it. But it’s my last ehx pedal for sure.

    Thanks anyway!

    I have the same issue with true bypass on the crayon.

    I contacted support and they assured me it was true bypass that something may have been wrong with my pedal. Since I was still within the return period I returned it one exchange for another one.

    The new one has the same issue.

    Did this ever get confirmed? Is the pedal true or buffered bypass?

    I can provide a video of needed.

    Shame because I really enjoy this pedal.

    Hi,

    I wrote to the support but no answer, for me this pedal seems to not be true bypass, the pcb are subcontracted in china maybe there was an error between the design and the manufacturing at the factory … i don’t know …

    I wrote them an email as well. They responded saying the crayon is now buffered bypass. I asked why and the response was pretty generic. “to limit footswitch noise when engaging the effect”. Quite frankly I thinks it’s a relatively hollow answer. They mentioned they need to update their product information on the site.

    It may be true though considering the hotwax pedal (which is this circuit and the hot tubes circuit in one pedal) is buffered. They may have updated the crayon circuit to make manufacturing simpler. Between the two pedals.

    The Crayon is great but nonetheless I think I’m done with EHX pedals because of this.
