The optimal way to reduce the effect, is to put it in a loop, on an A/B switch, or the tuner output of a buffered volume pedal. If you're not interested in doing that switch you can switch to a TU3w (wazacraft) that has improved true bypass circuit or an improved buffered output that is better when driving multiple pedals.

Boss knew of the complaints TU2 users had about the tone change so they redesigned the pedal. And from my personal experience the TU3w is an improvement, it is really true bypass! And it has has a high visibility option for those sunny outdoor gigs where the TU2 is hard to read! On my boards where the Tu2 is not in the main flow is works great.
Interesting. I will certainly give it a test run to check out if I can hear a tone difference. Thanks ,Kev
