EHX MicroPog: is the buffer good in bypass?

[tochiro]

Hi,

I've just noticed that pedal is not true bypass... What do you think of the buffer when the pedal is bypassed? Does it degrade tone?

Thank you for your time.

I think it is a pretty decent buffer. It certainly doesn't degrade anything on my board, in fact, I have my micro pog placed right in front of my EB volume pedal to prevent the high end roll off from the VP, and it does a great job.

Thank you. This will be my first non True Bypass pedal... I wonder why EHX did not make it TB though...?

I do the same with my micro POG, I put it before my dunlop volume.

The buffer is fine, I've had the micro POG in my chain for a long time now. One of my favorite pedals ever. It actually helps, since most of my pedals are true bypass, its good to have a buffer on my board. I actually used to be 'buffer-phobic' and this was one of the first buffered pedals I used regularly. Its great all around IMO.

Thank you. I'll order it to Santa :-)
