Hey Guys, I have plugged my FOD-1 Fat Overdrive pedal back in the LC-15R for the first time in years. And I got a bit of a surprise. The simple fact of adding the pedal in the sound chain coloured the sound. I didn't remember that it was the case. I thought it was true by-pass. However, I can see anything on Demeter's webpage confirming that.
Is there any possibility that a pedal with true by-pass, start colouring the sound while off due to defect or decay, or damage or what not??? My understanding of how true by-pass is achieved is that you have direct link from input to output without any links to the pedal circuit. So can there be some kind of 'long circuit' of this link whereby a connection with the main circuit could happen?
The pedal when off acts a slight treble boost and loose some of the clarity... Wondering if I am just notciing this because I played with the SE C24 instead of the LP Studio. It may have been less noticeable with the LP?!?
