Just got my Hardwire CM-2 Tube Overdrive pedal yesterday. Nag iisa lang na stock sa MOA Audiophile. I was testing at AP and trying to get a transparent clean boost from it. At first I thought, di nya kayang mag clean boost coz I already hearing a break up sa amplifier with a 0 GAIN setting sa CM-2. Then I changed guitar with single coils. Ayun, OK. Pero nahirapan ako hanapin ung setting para maging kasing tunog sya when in bypass mode. Naalala ko ung nabasa ko sa forum dito na i -full ung LOW and HIGH setting then back off ung LEVEL and 0 GAIN. Tried ko sa home with a strat with LINE 6 Spider III amp in a clean preset, it really works. If you want more volume just increase the LEVEL. By the way, I also tried if the sound from the guitar straight to the amp will also be the sound in bypass mode. Gusto ko ma prove kung talagang true-bypass sya. Again at first, when I compared the sound, when in bypass mode, the high is somewhat cut. I thought baka dahil sa long cables or sa cable mismo. So I tried another cable (KLOTZ) galing sa pedal papunta sa amp. The other cable is proel galing sa guitar papunta sa pedal. Then I compared again. The sound is pretty identical. So depende rin sa cable na gagamitin pala.
