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

rive

- VOL: …as in Volume
- BASS: You guessed it… this controls the bass level
- CLEAN MIX: This is a single-knob mixer to allow you to mix clean signal with
overdrive signal Fully counter-clockwise is 100% clean with no overdrive, fully
clockwise is 100% overdriven In between… that’s where the magic is
Internal Buffer On/Off: If you remove the bottom cover of the pedal, you will see a slide
switch for each channel which allows you to turn on/off the Pure Tone buffer circuit We
recommend that you leave the first channel buffer on However, if you want strictly true
bypass switching, you may turn both switches off
Internal Noise Gate On/Off: There is a mini slide switch to turn the Distortion channel
noise gate on or off, inside the pedal, next to the Distortion footswitch Just remove the
bottom cover of the pedal to see it
Battery: You can use a battery, but… WHY? Use a 1 SPOT! If you must use a battery, please
remember to unplug BOTH In and Out when not using the pedal to conserve battery life
IN and OUT:
Unlike previous versions of Jekyll & Hyde, the V3 version is really 2 pedals in 1 box No,
