True Bypass & All Analog Signal Path Possibility for Switchblade Style Routing

[Luca9583]

Hi M@

Very excited about the Axe III. A couple of questions...

- When running 4CM is there a way to set up the unit to have two analog signal paths within the grid? For example could an effect block be added in parallel to a clean analog signal path before it goes to the Axe's outputs or is there always AD/DA conversion happening at the Inputs and Outputs.

It would be awesome to be able to use the Axe III as an analog switching matrix like the Switchblade.

- Can the unit be set for true bypass (apologies if this has already been answered) and if so can independent pairs of inputs and outputs be set to have selectable true bypass?

I’ve seen no mention of this. I believe all inputs are AD and outputs are DA. No analog pass through.

True Bypass was added to the FX8 to satisfy purists who think it should be there. I've used it side-by-side with digital bypass, and I hear no difference between the two.
