Question:
Hi bobthecockroach!

I'm new here and I have some concerns about my pedals. My concern is: first of all, I don't like my pedals at all, because of their buffers, limiting my tone. I am a tone freak, but have never heard about true-bypass at all. There I have wasted my time and money on purchasing these pedals:

Visual Sound Jekyll and Hyde Ultimate Overdrive
Visual Sound Route 66 (Overdrive/Fuzz w/ Compression)
Visual H20 (Chorus w/ Echo)
Dunlop 535QC (Chrome)
VOX Passive Volume
Boss Flanger
Boss Phaser
Boss Harmonizer
Boss Acoustic Simulator
Fender Tuner

My friend that I recently made had introduced me to True-Bypass Pedals such as: Fulltone, SMF, Radial Engineering (TONEBONE), and a lot more.

I haven't had the time to test these brands out, but Eric Johnson uses the Radial Engineering TONEBONE Classic.

I AM STUCK!! HELP ME OUT!!!! Thank you for your patience and your time to read my posting. God Bless!

Best Regards,
Jason

the bosses have the infamous reputation of being tone suckers
you can find true-bypass buffer footswitches out there but with the # of pedals you have, you'll have to buy a lot of them
actually, here's a nice one:
