Yes but probably not enough suckage to be that noticeable. I think the key was removing the EQ from the chain. The modulation also from you delay would have had a great deal to do with the overall sound also.Could this be due to the fact im getting more of a direct signal and the other two pedals were `sucking`some tone.
Well... you would not be able to hear or feel any difference when I put a bypass on my pedalboard to check... and I did have a few pedals.sugarkane wrote:I respectfully disagree with anyone that thinks a pedal in the chain doesn't cause major tone suckage. And I mean a single instance never mind a stack of those things. Hey that's just me, don't shoot.
Not to say you won't like the results - I can't get close to a Hendrix sound without a Fuzz Face - but it's always a trade-off between suckage and tonal variety added. Sometimes ... only sometimes ... the narrowing of the signal spectrum can even feel like an improvement (say subtly rolling off spikey high end). But if live I can put a tuner in an alternative output from the amp that isn't going to the speakers I'd always do it.
Oh, and "true bypass" ad speak (IMHE) is rarely, if ever, true - it's expensive for manufacturers to do properly.
I'd trust your ears on this one.
