That's only true of old effects units that kept the input jack connected to the input of a circuit with not very high input impedance.

Things like the Ibanez pedals had buffered switching, so they didn't suck any tone.

This whole true-bypass thing is a big fad based on a myth.

I had a bunch of these old Ibanez pedals back in the 80's.

Ah, yes, the '82 vintage. The cold winter in Japan made that a great growing year for op-amps. Or something.
