I bought one of these and did the mods from this link.

It made a BIG difference in the quality of the tone. Stock was very harsh.

Does anyone know if this is true bypass or not? If not is it an easy conversion?

Nope, not true bypass. It's one of the worst tone suckers on my board, which is why I have to run it in my TB loop.

In fact, NONE of the MXR/Dunlop pedals are TB. Stinkfoot has a great article on his personal site about this. I bought a 535Q thinking it was SURELY TB, but after AB'ing it with my looper it was clear that it was sucking tone as well.

Even the new EVH one isn't true bypass? That sux (pun intended)

I have to look and see if the vodka mod includes adding TB.
