Valhalla no bypass on amplifier output

[Nix]

Hi,

I built the Valhalla and I thought everything went smoothly but I don't have bypass on the amplifier output. I do have bypass on the power amp output. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? This is my first build with silver solder so I might have a bad joint but I can't tell the difference by looking at it. I reflowed the jack connections, footswitch connections and the wires that go to the footswitch at the board and still nothing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That's by design unfortunately. Power amp output is muted when the effect is bypassed.

Oh really? That is unfortunate. Thanks for the information!

I think I might have misread. Just to clarify, you do have bypass signal on the regular output but no bypass signal on the power amp output? Or the other way around?

I may have the inputs confused. The louder output with more high end I don't have bypass. The quieter one with less high end I do have bypass.

Okay. Yes, that's by design.

Can second what @lowpitch says, that is how the circuit operates.
