Experience I met Edge's Tech Dallas Schoo once and he was quite amused about the design of the webpage. He laughed, when he saw the little VOX images there.

Question Marius...
sorry for the constant questions. But Your the expert and I'll really like to get this straight! haah... I just asked about puttin the tuner through the volume pedal instead. Well, the BOSS Tu-2 claims that it is a true bypass switch tuner...so does that mean it doens't matter if its in my signal path like before? Or should I STILL consider running it from the volume pedal TUner OUT?
I just rememberd that the tuner was a true bypass kind.
Thanks so very much
Answer the problem is that "true bypass" doesn't mean "good sound" at all. true bypass tells you only that the signal is send directly from the input to the output bushing without hitting the cicuit board. but what happens if the bushings are bad, the jacks are bad and the overalle cables are too long? yes: you will loose treble and thickness!
my advise is: try it out! hook up everyhing in that way and play very loud but still clean. compare it to the signal you get when being plugged directly to your amplifier. i'm sure you will hear lots of sound colourations.
