| When I turn on my pedalboard, the CS-3, FBM-1, RV-5, DD-7, and CE-20 all turn on automatically, but the BD-2, TU-2, HF-2 do not (in addition to all my other non-Boss pedals). Does anyone know why this happens? And is there a way to change the default of on or off? Thanks. |

| Thanks for the links...looks like there is no easy way to fix this. |

| What about this? My SD-1 used to default "off" but since I modded it, it defaults "on". Mods are Brian Wampler's "bleed fix" and "Eternity". |

I think this is normal. Removing, adding or changing components may have an effect on the load is seen by the flip-flop that controls the switching.
The most effective way I found to control this was to make the flip flop asymmetric as Ibanez does. Instant remedy. |

That's the best idea by far. Note that some pedals don't have flip-flops though (e.g. RC-2) so this doesn't work. |

Resistors aren't polarized or forward/reversed biased in any way.
If you reverse a resistor, you get the same resistance. |

It's just something that some of the newer pedals do. Here's the links.
Not just newer pedals. I have four DM-2s and a DM-3 and they all do that as well. |

Actually, I've noticed my DM-3 and another older pedal I've got do the same. |

I think this is a given with some pedals and up in the air with others. For instance, I've never seen a DD-7 that started up in the off state, but I've seen an MT-2 that starts up in both.
I'm sure there's room for human/machine error somewhere in the factory, and this is how it manifests itself.  |

| Whoops, correction/clarification: I've seen an MT-2 that starts in on, and then another MT-2 that starts in off. Not one that does both! |

This is because the "on state" is microprocessor/DSP controlled in the DD-7 and is an analogue flip-flop in the MT-2. The DSP pedals (RC-2, DD-7, etc) will all start in the same state consistently, but the analogue ones can vary pedal-to-pedal. |

Why do some pedals default to "on" and others not?
