nick83ola Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hi All, I was puzzled as the tone of my guitar with the hx stomp in line even when in hardware bypass mode was totally different from when the hx stomp was not there. And I think the problem are L11 and L12 (ferrite beams) that are always included in the circuit even when the hx stomp is in bypass there are also C42 and C44 on the output (that can be left) basically bypassing those the tone is a bit less brilliant but also more natural. Disclaimer: this will void the warranty and you risc to break your hx stomp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikey Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Well someone has waaaaaaayyyyy too much time on their hands lol. Even finding and then bypassing surface mount caps & coils/inductors to improve the tone is VERY hard to do without the right equipment and a knowledgebase of how to use them, and then there is finding the ones that would improve the tone when bypassed. I'm curious, where did you pick up these skills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick83ola Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Still not happy with it my old m9 was fine (actually was making my sound better) I picked up this skill working as a repair tech for 5 years :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I'd try soldering a paper clip between R143 and D27. That should make it work good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
