G6 sidetone SBX bypass?

Without SBX enabled the sidetone is practically without delay, but when you turn on SBX you will get a slight amount of delay and with surround enabled also some reverb. This is slightly annoying in that you're listening to yourself instead of just hearing yourself. I haven't found an option to get around this behaviour (other than outright disabling SBX).

Is there an option to have the sidechannel bypass the SBX? If not, consider this a feature request :)

Turing of the voice enhancements while leaving on sbx gave me best results. It's not quite perfect, tho.

Those where the first things I turned off to reduce latency. And as I said, without SBX the sidechannel sounds practically perfect, but with you hear a distinct separation between your real voice and the sidechannel. (As a test you can sing a high note. You shouldn't be able to hear two distinct tones, but with SBX on you do.)

Yeah it's unfortunate that's the way it works. When it first came out the sidetone had like 150ms delay it was unusable. I've had to turn off sbx completely which is a shame because it distorts your voice. They just don't have true sidetone in this and thats something we just have to live with. I started using widows Sonic and tbh in most of the blind testing it did not too much of a difference. Not enough to give up usable sidetone with sbx off.
