Seems this thing is not able to be bypassed then...

Any luck servicing one of these modules to refurb status...? Process...? Anybody...?

I've got the used one on the way... but that's 8-9 days out.

I think I'm gonna hand it off to my guitar tech and let him tear into it. He's an electronics guru deluxe.

Maybe he will come up with something to contribute to the community here.
