This missing piece to my tone puzzle.
I've been searching for a distortion pedal that is incredibly versatile and powerful, and this pedal is the absolute best. It instantly elevated my tone and solved all of my issues. It has an internal noise gate making it a very clean sounding pedal no matter how much you crank the gain. There are so many different tones you can get out of it and I haven't even broke through the… read more surface! Hands down the best pedal I've purchased to date.
Sounds every bit as good as all the demos I heard.
The range of tones I can get out of this thing is quite amazing. The jewel of the Jekyll side is the "Clean Mix" knob, the quality of pure clean is great and mixing it gradually to full overdrive allows you to "get that sound you're looking for" and the pride of the Hyde side (for me at least) is the A-B voicing allowing for some great sounds from a Mesa(ish) dual rectifier sound… read more (A) & a driven Marshally sound (B). For me, using a jumper cable to reverse the default and running it as Jekyll into Hyde was the better option. I really don't have enough room for all the in-betweens, but if you liked the sound demos you've heard online you are sure to love it.
Outstanding pedal
I bought this to run in front of my Mesa Lone Star Classic to give it a bit more kick and it definitely fills that role nicely. Feature rich with the built in, switchable buffers on each channel and noise gate, plus being able to switch the order of the OD and distortion sides is nice. The knobs all have a nice sweep to them. You need to spend a little time to dial it in to your… read more specific amp, but once you do, it rewards you with very nice tones. I've been playing for 30 years, I've owned a lot of amps and pedals and I generally prefer a good amp's tube distortion over pedals, but this one is giving me some downright inspiring tones. Highly recommended.
Jekyll and Hyde was no horror story.
The Jekyll and Hyde Overdrive-Distortion combination was no horror story for me! Just like I enjoy a guitar with a lot of dials and switches that actually change the tone of that instrument. I like to work with an effect box that gives me the same options. The Truetone V3 Jekyll & Hyde is a great box with several tone options which made it easy and fun to use. I highly recommend!!!
Extremely Versatile
This pedal has a ton of sounds available. The overdrive side can be set up anywhere between an almost clean boost to borderline distortion, and the distortion side goes from mild to heavy. And they sound great together.
