Also, to reiterate:
Every loop in the PXL can be populated with any pedals from my significant pedal collection, im ANY combination. at ANY settings, in ANY order, and the JUMP only occurs if the Quaverato is 1.) IN the circuit and upstream of the PXL OUT, 2.) ON, and 3.) Upstream of ANY pedal with an ACTIVE OPAMP (energized and in the circuit). And anytime I say “any”, I mean LITERALLY ANY.
To clarify even further:
When I say ACTIVE OPAMP, I mean an opamp that is energized (powered/ON/active) and in the circuit (guitar signal path). This includes ANY AND ALL PEDAL CIRCUITS THAT USE AN OPAMP:
When I use the term OPAMP, I am not using it as a colloquialism to describe “distortion”, or “gain” or “loudness” or “compression” or any sound effect, artifact, or descriptor of anything other than an actual physical DC-coupled electronic voltage amplifier with a differential input; also known as an OPAMP.
I realize it may be possible that the OPAMP itself may not be the true culprit that is causing the JUMP reaction with the Quaverato’s output section…that it could in fact be that a buffer (in its entirety) could be the culprit, and an opamp just happens to be an integral part of that circuit. Maybe it’s the specific collection of components that make up a buffer, or the order in which they are placed in the buffer circuit, or a particular way they react with each other within the buffer circuit. I don’t know enough about guitar pedal engineering to know the difference. What I DO know is that without an OPAMP placed in the guitar signal path circuit as I have described many times here, there is no JUMP. And unfortunately, I don’t own any pedals that do not use any buffer circuitry (AFAIK) to experiment with.
