Befaco Molten Bypass

Stereo effects-loop bypass with gate control.

4 HP Eurorack module

Stereo, DC-coupled effects-loop bypass module with manual and gate control.

Features

• Full stereo signal path.
• DC coupled.
• Manual or gate control of the effects loop.
• Remember: It works like an insert rather than a send.
• Remember: Use the effect module's WET/DRY control to set the signal/effect mix.
• Remember: CV bypassing is best done in HARD mode to avoid strangeness.

Controls & Jacks (13)

• From FX Right— Right-channel return input from the external effects loop.
• To FX Left— Left/mono send output to the external effects loop.
• Signal Input Right— Right-channel signal input for stereo operation.
• Signal Output Left— Left-channel output carrying the bypassed dry signal or the returned effects-loop signal.
• Signal Input Left (Mono)— Left-channel input; use this jack alone for a mono signal.
• To FX Right— Right-channel send output to the external effects loop.
• From FX Left— Left/mono return input from the external effects loop.
• FX Gain— Adjusts the level of the signal returning from the effects loop, from attenuation to boost so it can match the dry level.
• Signal Output Right— Right-channel output carrying the bypassed dry signal or the returned effects-loop signal.
• Latch/Gate Mode— Selects latching operation, where Launch toggles the bypass state, or momentary gate operation, where the effects loop is active while Launc
• Gate Control— Gate or trigger input for CV control of the bypass state.
• Launch— Manually activates the effects loop; when unlit, audio passes directly from the signal input to the signal output.
• Soft/Hard Bypass— Selects hard bypass, which immediately cuts the loop return, or soft bypass, which leaves effect tails such as reverb and delay audible with
