yep...

that is,  is the wah always "on" or can it be bypassed?  

It bypasses the wah... I don't remember setting a trimpot for boost
adjustment, but it was quite a while back. 

> if so is it true (or at least clean) bypass?  

I seem to remember it being double pole - double throw... so I think
it was true bypass... tone seemed fine in bypass mode. This guitar was
my "go to a jam and plug straight in" guitar... and it never failed to
astound people how I got those tones... fun.

> if it can be bypassed,  in which position is it bypassed (pot "up"
or pot "down")?  

Mine was down, but you may be able to just reverse the wiring scheme
on the pot... 

> can the listed 16db gain be adjusted?  (maybe a screw-pot
somewhere?) ... how easy would it be to make one of these anyway?

Don't remember?!

If there's not already a bunch of batteries and active electronics in
your axe... definitely put a Tone-X in there! It's just a pot and some
wiring... no other mods...
