If you use tone, can you switch straight to testing the ends? Or is there a setting for either tone or test?

There is a switch you have to flip for testing / toning. The testing of the cable is very basic. You get to see if they lines are open / cross and that's about it. Obviously if you are toning, you aren't plugged into the line, thus requiring you to plug in and then switch the main setting to test / verify.

This is the second unit they've sent me and this one doesn't work right either. It will tone fine, but does not test the line correctly. But to answer your question, yes, there is a switch to go from test to tone.

The +/- switch on the side is for the volume control to the unit. It can make your sound either higher or lower. Test it to see what suits you the best by getting it wet. The off switch is on the opposite side.The off switch is on the opposite side.

yes, the tester inserts the tone into the circuit but you have to have the probe to hear it.

This is a tone and probe and continuity tester. Basically, it will test whether a wire has a break or a complete circuit, and will allow you to audibly identify a line.

No.. The only way to ensure it's the correct wire is to cause a short between the pairs while the tone is on the line. Once you release the dead short the tone will change which will verify it's the correct wire. Otherwise you either have the wrong wire or something is between the EOL(end of line) and your tone.

Received mine today. No changes. I get the persistent tone as well. Stupid idea but tool seems good otherwise.

I think it is possible. One switch to increase and one to decrease volume. However, figuring out which keys to bind may be tricky.

I'm going to assume you want to make it into a true bypass rather than buffered, and truth be told buffered is secretly what you want, very little tone loss in comparison to true bypass in which you will lose guitar tone and instead get cable interference.

Not sure without actually doing it myself, but I'd try assigning the distortion to the expression pedal. That way you'd have real-time control over the exact amount you were looking for. Paul's answer is a good idea too if you're ok with a static setting.

Let me recant that last statement as after extended listening tests, I've determined that line out is "bright" and a bit harsher sounding than headphone out(with bass and treble set to 0)so I use headphone out. I was surprised by this as line out should bypass amp and tone controls, go through less electronics and should be a "purer" signal. But it really does sound better(to me)through headphone out so I now only use that.

Yes, switching between them can easily be done by simply hitting the answer button. If you turn something on one system, while listening to the other, it will automatically switch over to the system you just turned on if it is playing something with sound.

Yes, this is just a basic tone generator. It is quite cheaply made but does the job. I've been using mine for over a year now - fingers crossed.

You can set all kinds of sound parameters for open and closed sounds, however I am quite disappointed in there sensitivity. Very poor cymbals in this kit.

Use the digital tone, it is easy to tone out the cable without unplug the cable or shut down the system, but some time is easy to pick up the tone on other cable, don't turn the volume too high.

To your first question, good question and I don't know. Purely subjective answer to your second question. I tried both, first the Cleartones and then the SPs after the tone flattened on the Cleartones. I have now had the SPs on longer and they still haven't flattened to the point I want to change them. I will buy the SPs again.

as far as I can tell the LED only indicates the tone mode solid or alternating.
