[SOLVED] Can an effects block mute the signal when bypassed?

[joanesinu]

Hello,

 

can an effects block be configured to cut completely the signal thru it when bypassed?

 

The purpose is to use only wet blocks in a parallel loop. So, when effects disengaged, the signal must be cut.

 

Can this be done?

Since you are using a parallel path there is a split block. Using a Split A/B block you can entirely block the signal to one path or the other under different circumstances. You could assign that parameter to the Snapshot controller and assign the bypass of other blocks in the parallel path to the same Snapshot. Set up your snapshots accordingly.

Or... If you want to mute one of the paths, you can put a volume pedal that is set at 0%.  Remove the control assignment from it, so that moving the expression pedal does not change the percentage.  And then engaging the volume pedal will mute the signal.

I just found a solution to this problem. I can set the mixer parameters for each snapshot. So, in this snapshot where the delay is off but the reverb is on, the B path is muted turning de volume of the B path to minimum. This way I avoid the guitar dry signal into the loop, which would cause phase issues due to it being also in the instrument input of the amp.
