I didn’t pay the bypass much mind to be honest. Besides, I was running it through a crappy amp and only at home so didn’t really give it the most rigorous test in that respect.
Btw, the phaser in the Rendez Vous is pretty cool, especially as you can route the envelope or the LFO to it and it can be between 1 and 6 stages with loads of options for feedback being in or out of phase with the dry signal and being inverted.
