interessante comme tout cette jekyll & hide, même si je la trouve sacrément moche pas de true bypass mais "pure bypass" ... je suis sceptique... ceux qui l'ont peuvent témoigner ?

Do Visual Sound pedals have "true-bypass"?
No, but for some very sound reasons. And they have something which may be better: Pure Bypass.
First, the switches required for "true-bypass" are far more expensive than ours and are less reliable in the long run. This would make our pedals in the $200+ range (list price) and they wouldn't last as long. Our unique electro-mechanical switching system with heavy-duty switches and a "switch chip" should last a good long time.
Secondly, the buffering system in the pedals was taken from our Pure Tone pedal. This pedal was built originally for guitarist Neil Zaza who needed something to clean up his bypass tone for all the pedals he used (VOX wah included). Pure Tone, when placed first in the chain, made it sound like you were plugged straight into the amp even when going through notorious tone killer pedals. We ended up selling about 200 of these to very happy tone conscious guitar players before we put it into Jekyll & Hyde as an added feature. So, if J&H or Rt. 66 is first in your chain, it will buffer everything that follows it as well as itself. Even if it's in the middle of the chain, it will still work to some extent.
Thirdly, the Pure Tone buffer also keeps the Hyde circuit (in Jekyll & Hyde) stable. In the early stages of design, I noticed that the Hyde circuit was prone to occillation and feedback until I put the Pure Tone circuit before it. Somehow, it left all the good characteristics in tact and eliminated the ugliness.
Aucun problème de bypass. Meme si il n'est pas true, il ne deteriore pas le son.
"En fait on peut se demander si le mot 'télévision' est celui qui correspond à cette circulation extraordinaire, nouvelle, libre des images et des sons que l'on peut imaginer pour l'avenir. Tout ce que vous voyez arriver par le canal de ce câble, implique une participation active de chacun. Au fond, on ne trouve pas de mot. J'attend que des professionnels de la langue trouvent un mot nouveau qui définira très bien cette possibilité extraordinaire de circulation des informations."
