question about effect bypass behavior in Strawberry update

[misterg]

Awesome update, thank you!

The effect page seems a bit backwards to me.
The bypass knob, when turned to zero, reads "disabled"... but the effect is on.
and the knob, when engaged, reads "enabled"... but the effect is bypassed.
I know this means bypass is enabled (or disabled) but it is a bit confusing.

also, effects are loaded with minimum values applied.
this baffled me when I loaded the EQ stompbox because no sound was heard (loaded at -18 db's).
maybe it should load at 0db's ?

I did enjoy the effect presets, and the update as a whole is great!

thanks!

Ah, the initialized preset must have zeroed out EQ settings by default. You can ctrl+click to get the actual default positions (0 dB).

In regards to the bypassing, think of it like the "mute" switch on your mixer. You enable "mute" in order to mute a track, just like a guitarist would enable the bypass on a stompbox to let the audio signal go unaffected through the stompbox.
