Reamping with any guitar pedal

[whitedamp]

I was reading this page and came across this sentence:

Another possibility is to run the signal from the mixer through a guitar pedal or preamp that has a buffered bypass. Passing the signal through the bypassed pedal will correct the signal's impedance. Obviously, a pedal with a hard-wired or 'true' bypass circuit won't be any use for this.

Based on that, is it possible to affirm that you can use any "not true bypass" guitar pedal, like a Ibanez TS7 for example, as a reamp box? What would be the difference? Anyone ever tried?

The closest you'll get without an actual reamp device is a passive DI in reverse but the quality will be nominal at best. Do yourself and your tracks a favor and spend some cash on a proper reamp box if your looking at getting into reamping. The Radial ProRMP is extremely low cost and sounds great. There are also others like the actual Reamp or the Little Labs Redeye.
