Closed Input/Output (as FX Loop) blocks bypass (pedals, 4-cable method, etc.)

[M.M.]

When using an external pedal with Out2 and In2 blocks as a pedal loop, it would be nice to have the option of bypassing the I/O blocks and making them act as regular blocks on a preset and not cut the sound when bypassed. Or perhaps add a FX Loop block for this purpose.

This would also be useful for using the unit in 4 cable method.

As it is now, I'm having to add a parallel route with a volume block to mute/unmute the bypass - when programing multiple scenes with semi-complicated switching it can get messy.

connect out 2 to the in 2 block, and just bypass the In 2 block and you’ll get sound.

I searched for this everywhere, now I feel like and idiot!

Thanks!

It’s different for sure if coming from a Gen 2 device that had the FX loop block. But it’s more flexible as well. I often forget how it works and have to reference the manual but mostly because I don’t use the function.
