They're both programmable (all of the controls and both LEDs are), you can use them for whatever function you want.
Since this is aimed at development (and also serves as a prototype) I didn't think true-bypass was particularly important.... in fact having digital bypass is a very useful tool since you have full control over what happens when you hit the switch.
I have my "Petal" set up with the same switching functionality as the Intelligent Relay Bypass module. You could, of course, wire it up true-bypass (3PDT or relay board) if you prefer.
This also serves as a proof of concept / prototype for other designs. I want to test basic functionality, signal path, and noise levels before going crazy and routing a big 1590DD multi-effects platform. ?
