The

left dip switch (labelled “1”) switches between True Bypass

mode (this is the default mode) and Buffered Bypass mode.


True Bypass

Buffered Bypass

True Bypass mode

…is a hard-wire bypass that ensures that there is absolutely no
coloration of tone when the pedal is bypassed.
Using True Bypass on all your effect pedals is the right choice for
setups with only a few pedals and relatively short cables before
and after the pedals.

Buffered Bypass mode

If you use a long cable between your guitar and the first pedal, or
if you use many pedals on your board, or if you use a long cable
from your board to the amp… the best solution will most likely
be to activate Buffered Bypass mode in the first and the last pedal
in the signal chain.

“Can I hear the difference between a pedal in True By-
pass or Buffered Bypass mode?”
“Maybe, maybe not – many factors apply: active vs. passive pick-
ups, single coil vs. humbucker, cable quality, amp impedance…
There is no ultimate answer. Use your ears and find the best
solution for your setup!”

Kill-Dry featureJava sun manual download.

Kill-Dry feature

The Kill-Dry feature allows you (you guessed it) to “kill” the dry
signal and only keep the processed signal.
If you use this pedal in the parallel effects loop of your guitar ampli-
fier, you do not want the dry (unprocessed) signal to pass through
the pedal, as this could lead to undesired phasing and cancellation
effects.
To activate Kill-Dry, you have to open the device.

– Unscrew the back plate and look for the two small dip switches

shown in the illustration.

When the pedal is set to Buffered Bypass mode (see page 27),

you can use the right dip switch (labelled “2”) to activate Kill-
Dry.

When the pedal is set to True Bypass mode, Kill-Dry is not an

option.


Kill-Dry off

Kill-Dry on

The default mode is Kill-Dry off – i.e., by default, the dry signal

is being passed through the pedal.
