Molten Bypass | By Molten Modular and Befaco

I really love it when the YouTube creators work together with manufacturers to realize modules we may all need, but can't get. Following in DivKid's footsteps, Robin from Molten Modular now presents his second Befaco collab after the Motion Meter. The Bypass is - you may have guessed it - a 'detour' circuit. Typical usage is hard-switching between a dry sound and an FX chain. It seems a bit similar to send/return, but the Bypass opens and closes an entirely different path. It's more like an insert/return, with a Launch button to open and close it (also CV controlled). When the Launch is set to 'soft', the return remains engaged, and only the insert goes on/off.

Even though on paper it's a simple utility with four ins and four outs, it opens up a lot of possibilities which are relatively simple to patch with separates, but you may need a switch matrix or something much bigger than just 4HP.

This is magnificent - thank you so much!

Great reminder just how powerful some utilities can be, and the Molten Bypass might become one of those HP saving must-haves if you like using effects in your rack. Thank you as always!
