Footswitch
On the rear panel you will find a footswitch jack labeled [BYPASS]. This is a mono
jack with connections for a normal momentary footswitch. The footswitch must be
plugged in before the NanoVerb has its power turned on.
You should
not
use the footswitch supplied with a guitar amplifier, as these are
typically latching type footswitches. You can tell a latching footswitch from an
unlatched type when it takes two presses to enable any of the functions (Bypass,
etc.). Also, these footswitches usually “click” when stepped on. Use only Momentary
(non-latching) footswitches with the NanoVerb.
Pressing the footswitch will toggle Bypass mode on and off. When Bypass mode is
activated, the effects will mute but the direct signal will continue going through the
unit. Bypass turns off any effects going to the output, and is useful for turning off
delay for a certain part of a song, for example.
