Using the Smashup
32
Bypass
This button sends the signal directly from the input to the output
without any compression. Press [BYPASS] to check the sound of
the source without any effect from the Smashup. When the red
BYPASS LED is lit, the compressor is off. The Bypass function
can also be activated by the foot switch.
Since the Smashup is a digital effect, signal always passes through
the digital A/D–D/A conversion process, so that digital signal will
flow through to other effects in a ModLink chain even when
[BYPASS] is on. So, unlike old analog effects, this is not a
“hardwire” bypass switch—the Smashup must be powered on to
pass signal through, even in bypass mode. Similarly, the [TRIM]
control is always active, since it’s an analog control regulating the
level feeding the analog-to-digital converters.
Using the Foot Switch
If you need to bypass the effect totally but your hands aren’t free,
simply connect any momentary footswitch (such as those used for
keyboard sustain pedals, either NC normally closed or NO
normally open) to the [FOOT SWITCH] jack on the rear panel.
The footswitch will turn the BYPASS LED on and off.
