Now here's a trusty companion that keeps coming back to my pedal boards.
I managed to dial in some satisfying settings for both sides of the effect, so I better take some pictures to fight forgetfulness.
Since I acquired the pedal Visual Sound managed to release two more versions of the pedal and even change the company's name to Truetone.
Although I haven't used the newer versions, I can say that at least version V3 has one improvement I would like to have on my pedal too, namely the ability to change the order of the two effect sides.
As its name implies the "Jekyll & Hyde" combines an distortion and an overdrive, both can be used independently or together.
The signal hits the distortion side first, then going through the overdrive.
Now I would personally prefer it the other way round. As I said V3 offers this by giving each side its own outputs.
Most sources on the www consider the Jekyll section a "Tube Screamer - ish" overdrive with an added bass switch while the Hyde part of the pedal is described as "Marshall Shredmaster - ish" with a Sharp/Blunt option.
I won't comment on that but I will say that I like the sound of both sides and I use them separately as well as stacked on top of each other.
