Instructions
Bob Weil and Visual Sound first introduced the Jekyll & Hyde pedal to the world in
1997. It was the first true dual effect pedal for guitar players, ever. It was an
immediate hit and the rest, as they say, is history.
Visual Sound is now TRUETONE , and the new V3 Series Jekyll & Hyde has been re-
designed from scratch by Weil and RG Keen to meet the demands of today’s players.
With more flexibility, more great tones, and better construction than any of its
predecessors, you’re going to love this new incarnation of a historically great pedal.
The following are some tips to get you started:
Distortion Controls:
- HI-GAIN: This is the “Drive” knob
- TREBLE, BASS, MID: You know what these are.
- VOL: …as in Volume.
- Bright: A is very bright and less compressed than B. Turn down the Treble knob a
bit when using A.
- Voice: A has much of the character of previous Jekyll & Hyde pedals. B is a new
sound which is more open and much louder.
Overdrive Controls:
- DRIVE: …as in Overdrive level.
- TONE: Not quite your typical tone knob, this one has a slight effect on gain as well
as treble as you turn it. Higher is more treble and gain, lower is less treble and gain.
