Glad to admit I was wrong about the EQ bypass...it was all about my settings.
Opinion formed about the Cut control back when I had my Maz18; when the knob was set higher than 10 o'clock with the Tele, too bright. BTW, that amp had no bypass.
So now with the 8, I carried the mindset about leaving the cut low. So when you engage the bypass, suddenly sounded a bit flat.
So I watched the Dave Baker demo, paying more attention to cut settings...wow, now that's better! My 335 loves the Maz, more so than my Princeton or Vibrochamp.

Glad you are bonding with the bypass. It really adds to what the amp can produce. Cut is key!

I liked the tone bypass alot. I had the mod done to my maz 18 and liked it in the Maz 8 as well. I liked the volume and grind I got too

I've been using it more also. Opening up the cut isn't just about treble, it's about a very lively feeling w the amp.

With my maz 18NR, it is either one or the other.....either get a good tone with the eq, or with it bypassed. Having to twiddle knobs in between kinda kills the idea of having it foot switchable. There are good sounds both ways....but if you need a boost" get a boost.

^^^
I found that setting a tone I like with the EQ bypass engaged and then going back and adjusting the tone stack, lowering treble usually, without bypass gave me some usable and footswitchable sounds. YMMV, of course, and even then turning on the bypass is not likely to produce the same tone as hitting the amp front end with a boost.

I haven't been using it for a boost on the fly but I have been using it for another differently voiced sound.
