the pedall is off ?? and it affects the sound ?
try the following :
- if you twist the knobs with the pedal off, any modification of the sound ?
- if you remove the battery from the pedal, is the sound still going thru ?
- are you runniong on battery or on AC adaptor ?

- yeah i tried twisting it when off.. no difference
- i tried to remove the battery, no sound mate
- yeh im 'runniong' on battery laugh.gif jk

xcude / so your pedal is not using a pass-by, and the sound disturbance are not due to the "active" circuit of your pedal. I would recommend you send it back where you bought it and get it fixed / exchanged : there's a defect in the supposedly "silent" circuit IMO...

you set your amp at level = 3 (let's say) and clean settings, play it w/o pedal, remember the sound.
add the pedal btw the amp and your guitar, don't touch the amp's settings. how's the sound compare to before ? The answer to that question is what matters...

oh yea i have this problem with my new guitar and boss pedal.. when i plug it into the amp (dads tv amp) without the pedal.. its clean and when i switch it to rhythm its a lil distorted... then when i plug it with the pedal.. it is distorted even though i havent turned the pedal on.. my guitar is an epip classic and pedal is a boss od/ds

edit : could it be the amp?

Haha... solution, you need a guitar amp! XD

Like Pix said, it might be because your pedal doesn't have true bypass and even when it's switched 'off', the pedal's still sucking your tone and perhaps adding a little overdrive to it. Have you tried other pedals with the TV amp?
It could be a defect, but it could also be the nature of the pedal circuit. smile.gif

xcude, it all depends how it is supposed to work. Boss pedals are usually not using a TRUE by-pass : they still affect the sound. how to know it's true bypass?
1- even when switched off, the sound is different than without the pedal in the chain
2- no battery in the pedal, thus the sound is not going thru (pedal is however switched off)
3- go check the specs on internet laugh.gif

With true bypass (higher end pedals), the sund will go thru without battery.

I'd say your problem is the pedal itself, because even if it does affect your sound, it shouldn't "boost" it. A "fake" bypass will just modifies the tone, not the volume/gain, but that's just what I use to believe. Maybe i'm wrong...
