Might I suggest a modded MT-2.

Keeley does one and I'm sure Randolf can do it too.

Sidetrack, just got my keeley spec DS-1 back from Randolf and it rocks! Even better, I gave it to him on Sat Afternoon and I collected it today!

if its using a dpdt switch with led its not true bypass. if you want to have and led and tru by pass you need a 3pdt switch. Ltr i go back open up my jackhammer to tak a look.

There are bypasses which work even with no power. That doesn't mean it is true bypass. You'll have to open you pedal up to check the wires to know if it really is true bypass.

EDIT: You just need to study a bit of electronics and look at the circuits to know this. Find out more here: http://members.chello.se/pastorn/fx/mods/bypass.htm and here:http://geofex.com/Article_Folders/bypass/bypass.htm. I've been studying these stuff for ages.

If you find them too complicated let me know, I'll try to summurise them in easier terms.

i just popped open to take a peek, it uses a DPDT switch soldered on to the pcb so i seriously doubt its true by pass and i don;t think it's the millieumium bypass so guess no true bypass. Actually i tried it before the pedal does suck a bit of tone, theres a slight treble loss compared to jackin in direct.

Still scratching head... haha..

Ah... i see! So the myth is finally cleared... it is a passive bypass! Interesting...
