hello there,  i have a voodoo labs sparkle drive that has no sound when in bypass mode. i replaced the dpdt switch but no luck --same thing. voodoo labs bills their pedals as true bypass, but since it only has a dpdt and has an led there must be a transistor or ic involved here with the bypass mode that has failed.  does anyone have a schematic or have any experience with these and which part or parts might be involved?  thanks to all for any help.      rh

Hi,

Is it possible for you to make some pictures of the inside. This will be a cool pedal to trace out! And when we have the schematic, we also have you answer.

Thanks,

Joep

PS I have a Zoom TM-01 Tri-Metal, the add says True Bypass, but this turned out to be True Bullsh*t.
