The Visual Sound / Truetone Jekyll & Hyde is a popular dual-effect guitar pedal that combines two independent circuits—a warm overdrive and a thick distortion—into a single enclosure.
Key Features & Design
• Dual Circuits: Features a Jekyll side (overdrive) and a Hyde side (distortion) that can be used separately or stacked together.
• Jekyll Side (Overdrive):
• Versions 1 and 2 are based on a modified Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer circuit.
• Version 3 (V3) transitioned to an open, more transparent "Open Road" style overdrive circuit.
• Includes standard Drive, Tone, and Volume controls, plus Bass and Clean Mix options on later versions.
• Hyde Side (Distortion):
• Delivers a heavier, high-gain punch with expanded bottom-end response (originally inspired by the Marshall Guv'nor).
• Includes a Sharp/Blunt switch to shift between a compressed or bright tone profile, plus mid-range EQ shaping.
• V3 added individual input/output jacks to let players reorder the signal chain and included a built-in noise gate.
