Rothwell Major Bypass

Passive Loop Switch

The Major Bypass is a loop switcher which will switch one or more pedals into and out of your signal chain so that non-true bypass pedals (which can still suck tone even when turned off) or a particular group of pedals can be fully bypassed with a single switch. The switches are mechanical types (no relays to fail or FETs to compromise tone) and power is required only for the LED indicator. Construction is truly robust and the indicator makes it easy to see when the unit is in active or bypass mode. This simple device can find many uses on pedalboards with vintage wahs, for example (notorious tone suckers), or where a chorus, delay and reverb need to be engaged and disengaged as one unit.

More and more guitarists who care about their tone are discovering what great pedals these are and since their introduction in 2007 these pedals have been used on some of the world’s biggest tours. All the pedals are hand-made in the UK to the highest possible standards. The circuit boards are produced in the UK and assembled by skilled UK workers (aerospace industry certified), the cases are carefully polished and engraved in the UK, and the final assembly is done in the UK. The award winning sound quality is due to innovative circuit design by people who actually care. The circuits may be computer modeled and CAD systems may be used to calculate filter parameters but the end result is always subjected to the ultimate test - real world guitar playing and critical listening.
