Yeah, sacrilige

As if anyone could hear the difference, it's a buffered pedal for crying out loud

I was hoping you'd do that to the TS5.

IIRC, on the DSD-2, the bypass signal goes through a pre-emphasis filter & then a de-emphasis filter - it wasn't just a couple of buffering transistors. So, I could see someone getting all fired up about wanting true bypass on that, I suppose.

it'd be so much easier to make a true bypass bar to connect various pedals to it than mod each one...

Ugh... It doesn't even look good. I mean a 3PDT footswitch doesn't even slightly suit the style of a boss pedal... Yuk...

I've seen this done to vintage Arion chorus pedals..(on the net)i agree it looks pretty naff... i've also seen a DS-1 converted to a tube distortion with a 12ax7 tube sticking out of it on youtube........

The true bypass switch looks like a big zit on the face of the CE-2...........

I thought one of the selling points of the Sd-1 was it's simplicity....

I hate to admit it, but those mangled pedals really don't offend me.

I actually think the one in Ollie's video is quite cool. I certainly wouldn't have it done to my MIJ models, but a brand new one. Why not? Might not be a usable pedal for a live situation, but would probably be a fun toy!
