I have an MD3 around here I was supposed to ship off to spunkiez like a month ago...

its rather nice for being a not-so-expensive digi delay, dunno about TB. never really cared :idk:

Most if not all of the original micro series have an FET buffer, and not a bad one by any stretch. (If you use more than five pedals in the mix, having a buffer in the mix actually tends to be a good thing, but that's another discussion.)

I have an MD3 and it rules. Not true bypass, the jacks and switch are cheap but the buffered bypass is fine.

I do believe the larger Guyatone pedals are true bypass. Wish that trend would go away, just a little bit.

This except I have the TZ-2, BB-2, BR-2.

I had the noise supressor... terrible buffered bypass, absolutely messed up my tone

I played with the MD3, which I really dug. Really bright and chirpy. Some short doodling with the TZ2, but was a but too clanky and transparent for my taste. No complaints about the size/weight though. I'd like to invest in the MD3, and maybe the Slow Volume at some point.

I have the MO-3 and I really like it. Just wanted to know if its the pedal that's sucking all of my gain. I'm guessing it's the MXR Dyna Comp :idk:

I've got the micro flanger and the micro chorus. I love both of them. As has already been mentioned, they are not true bypass. Their buffer sounds just as good or better than a boss pedal, so in other words, I didn't notice anything. The first micro chorus I got had a bad switch; the effect only worked when the switch was depressed. The vendor replaced it, and I haven't had a single problem since.

Their small size is actually really convenient; I used to have them right next to each other on my board, so I could have a subtle flange, with the micro chorus set up for a fast, wobbly style chorus (which it does really well, btw), or I could hit them both at once for an uber modulated sound.
