    Running B9 first in effects line. It seems to produce some distortion when in off position. Does this have a buffer or true bypass?

    From the Web B9 – Instructions here: https://www.ehx.com/products/b9/instructions

    NOTES AND SPECIFICATIONS
    • B9 has buffered bypass.
    • Input impedance is 1MOhm.
    • Output impedance for both output jacks is 500Ohm.
    • Current draw of the B9 is 100mA.

    I have the C9 with essentially the same buffered bypass circuitry, and I have no distortion or noise issues when it’s bypassed. I have it pretty close to the beginning of my effects chain. Remember when using it that the VOL pots for DRY and ORGAN are essentially a two channel mixer for the DRY and the ORGAN signals and that you can get distortion for one or both of those channels if you increase the output volume past unity.

    If you’re having problems send a note to info@ehx.com. My personal experience is that they’re pretty quick to respond.

    Yes it should not be distorted at all!
    Please write the techs at info@ehx.com
    Please understand it is a holiday and they are off until Dec 26
