I wish boss would have implemented something like this with the Waza pedals, I’ve seen people like VFE have selectable relay true bypass or buffered bypass on their pedals. I don’t see a reason why boss couldn’t. I find having a buffer at the start of the pedalboard to be preferable but 5 buffers in a row is unnecessary.
I have four boss pedals on my board currently and like
@Elktronics said, I’m using a true bypass looper box I made. It’s an extra pedals worth of space but it’s also quick and easy.
