You could just make a DIY loop box, I made one for like 15 bucks. Click it, loop engaged. Click it, loop bypassed.
/facepalm.
"true bypass" means that you can keep the pedals connected so that the tone isnt compromised when the pedals are off, so you dont need to keep fiddling with an fx loop

I know exactly what "true bypass" is, as my solution clearly makes any pedal you put in the loop "true bypass". To my knowledge, the maxon OD808 is not "true bypass", just very transparant.
/facepalm ?
look at the maxon OD808
they ARE the original tubescreamers (the original ts808s were made my maxon for ibanez), but sold direct from maxon in their own casing.
It is based on the original ts808, and is VERY popular as a transparent overdrive
Analog Man Tube Screamer History Page said:Maxon OD-808 mods
We have worked on the Maxon OD-808 and now offer our 808/SILVER mod for it. The Maxon OD-808 is actually a TS-10 circuit (uses TS9/TS10 output section) so it takes some serious work. The circuit boards are a little fragile, like the 2003+ TS9s, so we have to be very careful so as not to damage them. We also include TRUE BYPASS on these mods because Maxon uses a normal size stomp switch which we can easily change to a 3PDT switch for true bypass. So if you are a stickler for true bypass, the Maxon OD-808/Silver may be the pedal for you.
What's your cable length from guitar to amp input? Running through any other pedals? Sometimes you don't want true bypass
