Boss Octaver true bypass

[supersonic]

Anyone know of a true bypass mod parts I can get for a Boss Octaver pedal?

there is not enough room in a boss pedal for the switch, you would have to put it in a different housing

That's ok, is there a kit?

Temporarily out of stock, but this is a clean solution.

Why do you want true bypass?

The Boss Octave pedal sounds fantastic enguaged but sucks tone in bypass mode, kills the top end. My obvious option is to use a looper but I'm trying to minimalize my board.

I would try repositioning the pedal in your chain first. A TB pedal won't help retain high end freqs. Especially if you have a somewhat long chain already. It will just cause the extra cabling to drain even more of your signal.

I'm sure someone like Analogman or maybe Keeley can do a mod for that, right? Am I wrong?

I'll go with a looper for now. I have a Boss Flanger with the same "Tone suck" issues, and I just happen to have a looper for an extra pedal. I don't have the Octaver ATM it should be arriving any day. I did own the same Octaver years ago and would unplug it for the songs I wasn't using it. I will post my findings with tone dropouts. Where in they chain do the normally run?

RockStarNicks looks like the best option so far. Other mods I have seen drill a hole in the top of the pedal for a TB switch.
