are you tone hounds willing to suffer tiny amounts of switch-pop in exchange for true bypass, bufferless switching?

    sure if it's not so substantial as to damage my speaker. I don't plan on switching all that much I want the box itself to be quiet.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    nothing anywhere near enough to damage a speaker. it's seriously not much louder than the blade switch in a guitar.

    as for the box itself being quiet. there is zero difference being nothing, the box, and the box with power connected. i tested tons of things last night and i can say that the grounding is solid.

    it should be a totally transparent box.

    totally transparent and much cheaper than if you bought the 22 dollar Fulltones. Nice Job.

    THe Fluke meter never lies.

    Do you see it as a problem using an A/E.

    active electronics?

    i doubt it. but that's why i'm getting these things out to you guys. so they can be tried in different siuations. i only have one rig.

    i'm using better switches than the morley uses. i know that for sure.

    basically, it's like this.

    if you are *not* playing. you can hear the switch from A to B or from main to tuner. but it's very quiet. louder if you've got high gain effects on at the time. but that's what noise suppressors are for. when you are playing and switch from A to B or vice versa, you can't hear it.

    That's it, pffft. I don't have a problem with that.

    do you want to see the artwork for the front of your pedal? i use the term artwork loosely.

    Ok, now that I'm back from the bathroom, because it made me laugh so hard.
    I like it very much.
    Thank you.
