Never really been one to use pedals, but I'm back in a band after along lay-off and finding for some songs,even though a guitar in to a crankes JTM-45 sound great, a bit of variation in my basic sound is required so I've dug out the old pedalboard!
Convinced that my pedals must be sucking some tone, I've just bought a Kelley looper so when required I can take all my pedal out of the chain and capture the glorious sound of my guitar straight in to the amp
So after hours of re-routing patch-leads to incorporate the looper in to my pedal board it came to test time. All pedals switched off but still in the signal chain, I wound up the amp and played for a while then stood on the looper to take the pedals out and........just sounds the same to me
Anyone else with a similar experience? Is 'true bypass' for better tone a myth?
