I don't have a link, but I saw a "true bypass" rig one time - it takes regular pedals and lets you swtch them in and out usig tru bypass rather than the units own internal bypass.
Actually, such a think isn't technically very hard to build, just a bunch of foot switches and relays ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I think it´s recommended that distortion and Wah pedals should be used in front of the amp, but not in the effect loop. Delay, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser and such effects should work better in the loop.
Here is a fine article about this. http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/Feat..._19_%20Effects/ -------------------- Electric Guitars: Gibson SG 61´ Reissue, Gibson Les Paul Classic, Fender Standard American Stratocaster (2008 OW RW) , Fender Standard American Stratocaster (2003 2TSB MPL), Ibanez Prestige RG2570E, Warmoth Telecaster (BlueBurst), Warmoth Custom (CherryBurst).

Thanks man. even though I knew about the whole "modulation effects in the loop"-thingy it definetely lightened things up. Only thing now, is when I start building my board I'll have too thing about how I'm gonna plug into the amp. Darn. |

That can get a little complex and expensive eventually though.

Tru bypass allows for less signal loss in your chain..You don't need to have a power on in a certain pedal with tru bypass in order for signal to go through it..I have a friend that had done such modification to his pedals , It shouldn't be hard to do (by experienced electronics guy)..

well i personally hate my guitar going through loads of pedals as by the end of the chain so many frequencies have been lost and the pure sound of my guitar has been coloured... some pedals are worse than other for this. For example I stopped using a wah in my chain for this very reason.... especially cry baby, I find it really altered my tone even when it was switched off....
so to remedy this I am going to buy a http://www.voodoolab.com/gcx.htm all those loops mean that I can have only the pedals I want on when I want them.... and when I dont want them I can de-select them so they are not in my chain at all great stuff.... better sound, but more expense as always - it never ends! check out scott hendersons current rig - very interesting. nick |

Also you can get a little preamp to put just after the guitar and you will get the tone. I've heard people done this.

It would be nice if someone had a box that would isolate all of the effects into their own loop.
