Thanks for clearing that up.  |
Some pedals have what's called true bypass, which means that when it's plugged in but not on, the signal does not at all pass through the pedal's circuitry. It's just cruises on through to the amp. Some people swear by it, some can't really hear a difference, and some just don't care.
