Anyone know if these are true bypass?>

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

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

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.
