The Jekyll & Hyde overdrive from Visual Sound was one of the best drive/distortion combo pedals you could by. But with a new name comes the need for a new design so the Truetone Jekyll and Hyde V3 features some great options.

Jekyll

Jekyll is your overdrive channel. He was once a mean overdrive with a great sound but unfortunately not the most powerful option and it made the switch to the Hyde a bit jarring. Now in the V3 pedal you have a completely redesigned overdrive based on their old ‘Oped Road’ overdrive.

Controllable with the same Drive, Volume and Tone controls on the V2 model as well as the new Bass and Clean options. You now have ultimate control over this unique drive which goes from a soft background crunch to a more in your face rock vibe.

Hyde

Hyde is a vicious distortion channel that may not have insane levels of gain but delivers some incredible tones. This can take you from a classic soft distortion that is bordering on overdrive to a crushing higher gain setting perfect for heavier rock styles.

If you have ever used any of the Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde pedals this sounds very similar. Over previous versions you gain a new bass control which works alongside the treble control and a great voice switch to cover both classic and vintage styles.

Switching and Wiring

While plenty of other companies offer two in one pedals not many have this many options. You can use this pedal either stock where you go in to the distortion and out of the overdrive. There is also an option to switch it the other way round or use them as two completely independent pedals in your signal chain.

Here’s what Truetone say about the Jekyll & Hyde V3 Overdrive and 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.

The distortion channel (a.k.a. “Hyde”) is the same great distortion that Hyde was always known for, but with 2 major upgrades.  It now includes a Bass knob which interacts with Treble so you can shape your tone precisely.  There is also a new Voice switch which allows you to choose between classic open distortion or a more saturated tone.

The overdrive channel (a.k.a. “Jekyll”) has changed completely, making it even more compatible with Hyde. Jekyll is now based on our old Open Road pedal, but with added Bass and Clean Mix knobs.

If you’ve used or owned a previous version of Jekyll & Hyde, you owe it to yourself to try out the new V3 version.

“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!)

Features

  •  Each channel can be set to either True Bypass mode or buffered, via internal switches. The buffered mode utilizes our legendary Pure Tone circuit.
  •  Features the custom designed Forever Footswitch rated for 10 million hits. This interacts with relays having gold-plated contacts.
  •  Lifetime Warranty… even for second or third owners.
  •  Separate inputs and outputs so each side of the pedal can be used in a loop device, or midi switcher. Also possible to reverse the order of effects with a patch cable. Just like having 2 pedals, but in 1 housing.
  •  Small, pedal board friendly size, with front mounted jacks. Smaller footprint than 2 MXR or similar sized pedals.
  •  Comes in a black velvet bag inside the package box.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: 5″ x 6″ (126 x 153mm)
  • Current Draw: 22-30mA

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Distortion — Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond. There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.. Guitar Pedals — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. New — This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. Very Popular!. Overdrive — Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins..
