This guys has a good point, but rarely people will use more than 10 pedals on stage. I experience signal degradation with 4 pedals, but this is not audible when playing with the band, and even for me it is pretty hard to spot it, unless I can do straight A/B tests with 2 amps and A/B box. So this is not a real concern, and there are ways of solving this problem by using special preamp devices in the FX chain that replenish the sound. I'm not an expert for a huge pedalboards, do don't really know how tech people exaclty solve the issue, but this guy is right when he says that every stomp box should be inspected before used in order to see how well it suits in the pedal chain.
Also another good solution is to get a high end multiFX unit that is digital but quiet, and sends out strong signal. ALthough the sound will be a bit synthetic to someone who is used to hearing analog devices, most people won't notice the difference, and some prefer this kind of sound so every options has it's pros&cons. In reality whatever suits the player best he should use it. This post has been edited by Ivan Milenkovic: Nov 30 2008, 05:58 PM -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Hmm I never though true bypass is bullet proof , but its much better than regular buffered pedals...I can experience on my bass a hearable signal loss in my small pedal chain (wah+dist+envelope+chorus)..Though non of the pedals I use have truebypass..Signal loss if definitly a concern on more high end standards gigs and recording and I guess there are number of ways techs deal with it onstage,..
