I’ve been using the FX8 for years, and I made the switch to the FM9 last about 7 months ago.
The thing I loved about my FX8 is that the FX8 had a dedicated TRUE BYPASS foot switch (F2) where it engaged TRUE BYPASS. The signals were shunted and a message would blink “TRUE BYPASS ACTIVATED”.
This came in handy when I selected a SCENE with lets just 3 effects on, and as soon as I was done, I could turn off all of the effects by pressing the TRUE BYPASS footswtich. This took all the effects out of the signal and all I heard was my amp. I could easily turn the effects back on by pressing the "TRUE BYPASS" button again.
The other cool thing about having the “TRUE BYPASS ACTIVATED” was that I could press the TUNER and I could tune my guitar live while still playing. I could still hear my guitar while tuning. This came in handy when my E string would go out of tune mid song and I could hold the note and tune it without having to stop playing.
I know I can make an empty scene with no effects in SCENE mode to mimic TRUE BYPASS, but I’d like to have a BYPASS switch while I’m EFFECTS mode. Here’s my question:
Is there a way to edit or create a “BYPASS” function on one of the switches? I've looked at all the categories and there doesn't seem to by a BYPASS function anywhere.
