2.3 Bypass Mode Selection
The 2020-2.0 Pedal Tuner offers two bypass modes: True Bypass and Buffered Bypass. Use the 'BUFFER OFF ON' switch on the rear of the pedal to select your preferred mode.
- OFF (True Bypass): When the tuner is disengaged, your instrument's signal passes directly through the pedal without any electronic buffering. This preserves the original tone but may lead to signal degradation over long cable runs or complex pedal chains.
- ON (Buffered Bypass): When the tuner is disengaged, a high-quality buffer circuit maintains signal integrity, preventing tone loss over long cables or through multiple pedals. This is generally recommended for larger pedalboards.
