I like the sound of an SSTE with the buffer turned off.sometimes, so now all SSTEs have this "Buf/Byp" switch, and we can modify your SSTE to have it as well. Why? An SSTE without its output buffer is very much an early EP-3 Echoplex circuit, and EP-3s have a pair of Mix potentiometers on their output that give them a very unhealthily high output impedance, degrading the instrument's treble and the the brightness of the repeats! BUT, some people like this effect, and I've had people ask me "Can you make yours sound more like an EP-3?" Lol, so the EP-3's sonic degredation is an "asset" to some people, and I get that. NEW FEATURE! All SSTEs (serial# 388 and higher) have a small toggle switch allowing you to choose between "Buffered" or "Bypassed" output.
