H2O = Life
Every language in the world has a word for water and no living thing can seem to exist without it. It soothes the soul, sustains the body, it flushes our toilets, and it's beauty in nature has inspired
fantastic works of art, music and literature throughout history. Employed in a multitude of ways by various cultures around the planet, it also bathes us from the time we enter this world to the
time we make our exit. It is essential to life as we know it. As it cycles from the air, to the land, through our colons, to the rivers, to the sea and back again, it shapes the world around us,
and moistens nearly every aspect of our lives.
As we reimagined the V3 version of our H2O pedal, it became important for us to try to manifest in this pedal, at least some concept of the rudimentary aspects of this amazing elixir that surrounds
us and is an integral element of everyone’s bathroom and kitchen. Our hope was to attempt to capture the ebb and flow, the rhythms, the echoes and subtle nuance that make up the sonic composition
of how our ears perceive liquid moving in the natural world around us and then apply it to an electric guitar signal (or acoustic guitar, or bass, or keyboard, or whatever inspires you).
This new pedalboard-friendly, V3 version, still delivers all of the classic H2O sounds you may already love, but it also reaches further into Davy Jones’ Locker than ever before.
Truetone have now added controls to not only swim between analog Chorus or Vibrato, but we’ve also added a ''Tone'' control and even a ''Detune'' switch to take you deep into watery depths that you’ve
always wanted to reach (but were afraid to ask Mom & Dad about). When you dive fully into the Speed, Width and Depth knobs you’ll be able feel your signal swirl around you in a Leslie-esque eddy,
or you can reduce them to find more subdued currents reminiscent of a lazy river that’s gently flowing to a relaxed and blissful tonal destination (Ah-h-h-h-h!). The hybrid-analog Echo we’ve
incorporated into this version also has a broad range of delayed colors that should satisfy any musician’s pedantic palette. It can transport you from the short, slap-back echoes of that annoying
dripping faucet in your bathroom (That your roommate refuses to take responsibility for, Ugh!), to the long mesmerizing depths of tidal waves and textured shimmers. It can encompass your tone with a
warm, deep delay or ferry you on to controlled, eternal oscillations that will turn your mind into a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought, cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives
(Thank you Harvey Korman).
In the end, this pedal is merely our interpretation of the ongoing and somewhat soggy struggle to communicate the imperative nature of this and other vital fluids. It is important to remember though,
that we’re not necessarily suggesting that your life or tone depends on the H2O being on your pedalboard...., but then again...., maybe it does?>

Truetone V3 Jekyll and Hyde |
|
Overdrive & Distortion
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.
''Just got my V2 Jekyll and Hyde out of the box. By far the BEST distortion/overdrive ever.
Haven't even really had that much time to tweak it and it already sounds 100 times better than any pedal I've ever spent hours and hours tweaking.
I think I just became brand loyal.'' - Blake T. (...and the V3 version is even better!)

Truetone Route 66 Pedal |

V3 Route 66
No other strip of highway in the world evokes as much excitement, or nostalgia, than what you get by just mentioning US Highway Route 66. This Westward heading,
2000-mile trail has encapsulated the American spirit and inspired multiple stories, songs and lore since it was first established in 1926.
An historically important strip of tarmac that stretched from Chicago to L.A., it supported the economies of several communities through which it passed.
The people that lived and worked along the Route became prosperous due to the sheer number of travelers that took this road until it was officially decommissioned in 1985.
Now a ''National Scenic Byway'', much of the original concrete and asphalt lies in disrepair, but you can still hear the echoes of its roadside bars and even see the soft
glow of its neon signs as its legend has been kept alive by free-spirited travelers who still take the time to bathe in its rich history and drive the parts of it that are
still open road. Needless to say, it is this unbridled, driving spirit that we attempt to imbue into the very essence of our Route 66 pedal and with it capture that
American passion for freedom and its immutable longing for what lies just around the next bend.
Originally encased in a housing that resembled the historical highway marker of its origins, our completely redesigned and pedalboard friendly V3 version of the
Route 66 pedal can be inspiring on either guitar or bass (or whatever musical ''Thingy'' you prefer to plug it into). When connected to this updated version, you will
immediately be moved by the most transparent, smooth compressor and wide-ranging overdrive we’ve ever combined in a single housing.
With the unprecedented ability to layer the effects of either the Overdrive or Compressor onto the original signal (via ''Clean Mix'' controls), you are able to have
ultimate tonal control and achieve huge, clean, sustained notes that haven’t lost their attack. The fully analog Compressor side of this pedal can range from smooth and
connected, to tight and punchy, to the heavy parallel compression sounds that are used by the pros. And this V3 incarnation of our Route 66 pedal now also proudly
features a new and reimagined version of the classic Reverend Drivetrain Overdrive originally developed by Bob Weil & Joe Naylor. This multi-functional Overdrive has a
dynamic response to the player and offers ''Voice'' switching as well. This allows the player the freedom to vary the Overdrive tone from bright and open,
to a more saturated gritty sound, to a fully saturated overdrive that might even make road-kill get up and run for cover.....!
Built to have everyone from pro to amateur tonehounds slobbering on their pickups, this is the most versatile version of this pedal that we have ever offered and can
easily enhance the sound of your guitar, bass, keyboards and many other electric and acoustic instruments. So feel free..., go ahead..., get your kicks..., on this Route 66!

VS-XO
Do you appreciate the deep complexities of a lovingly created , thoughtfully toiled over, barrel-aged beverage? Would you define yourself as a tone-savoring guitarist or bassist with a well-cultivated palate?
Have you been looking for an Overdrive pedal that will offer you a cornucopia of tonal options to explore? Well..., we may just have an answer for your longings in our most eXtraordinary Overdrive to date,
the VS-XO Premium Overdrive pedal! One of the most versatile Overdrive pedals to ever rock planet Earth, this double circuited box-o-plenty can give you clean boost, subtle crunch, amp-like grind, compressed
distortion, and fat, fully-saturated sounds that will make your bacon sizzle!!
Sporting two independent drive channels, this pedal has simple, tweakable controls that will make you think of it more like a pair of independent pro-level preamps than a stomp box. Each side of this pedal offers
drive, tone, and volume controls, making it simple to dial in two totally different sounds. The right channel has enhanced mids, offering you extra presence without getting 'honky'. In addition to the
aforementioned control knobs, it also has a 3-way Clipping switch (Diode options - used to enhance the natural compression of the chosen voice), a 3-way Bass switch (to add or subtract low frequencies and
balance out pickup variations), and a ''Clean Mix'' knob (to layer in those lovely bits of saturation without losing the character of your original signal) . The more ''Amplike'' and very ''open'' sounding
left channel has more abbreviated controls, but does include a sweeping Bass Control knob to round out it’s very ''American'' sounding ampy nature. Use each channel independently, or activate both at the same
time to create a cascading burst of unmatchable sonic bliss (So...., it’s kind of like having Christmas morning every time you take a solo...!).
The VS-XO is truly a toneologists dream pedal. Great on either Guitar or Bass, we've distilled the features of this pedal down to all of the best characteristic traits of our favorite overdrives.
With all of the possibilities that we've packed into this one, you’re sure to find something in there to satiate your tonal cravings and fill your glass with the full, rich taste of a meticulously-crafted
Premium Overdrive....!
