Loop switchers and pedals that start up disengaged

[Conway]

A lot of pedals these days have soft-touch relay footswitches on them. Some you can set to start up either engaged or disengaged. Some always start up disengaged - these are a bit of a pain with a loop switcher, like the Gigrig G3 that I use. I would like all the pedals to start up in the engaged state. Can the switches easily be patched to always start up on, or would I have to get the relay footswitch replaced with an old-fashioned click on/off type???

File under first world problems.

I have the opposite problem, I hate soft touch ones which start in the on position

Well yes, if you're not using a switcher that's right. Why can't all pedal builders use relays where you can set the start up mode?!

Just lazy shits I imagine, no jumper or dip switch inside?

Google flip flop switching circuits, I've been meaning to do the same for my Arion SCH-1 but switching it on each time is less effort than doing the mod

This annoys me as well. Specifically Strymon Flint. Its lack of MIDI capability too.
