TrueSoft Bypass
We combine durable true bypass relay switching with an effect-side FET switch for pure and smooth switching.
Low Noise Op Amp
A modern, high-speed op amp was chosen for its low-noise and high-fidelity properties.
Extended Headroom
A simple voltage inverter circuit was used to effectively turn 9V into 18V. No need for special power supplies.
DualMode Switching
DualMode Switching can convert the footswitch into momentary operation.
To use, wait 5 seconds, then press the sequence tap+tap+hold until LED flashes.
USA Made PCBs
Our circuit boards are made in the USA by Advanced Circuits (large PCB runs) or OSH Park (small PCB runs).
PRP Audio Resistors
We used low noise, low inductance resistors made for audio circuits by Precision Resistive Products in the USA.*
