Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde #1

[TheJBKapnMorg]

Is this the same kind of overdrive in the route 66?

[VisualSoundUSA]

@TheJBKapnMorg Yes it is...

[Riri2705]

Hi Everybody,

Can I use this pedal for metal like metallica or trivium and also for blues music ?

Thanks a lot !

[VisualSoundUSA]

@Riri2705 Absolutely... this pedal will hit all that right on the head

[Riri2705]

@VisualSoundUSA thanks !

[Ferreteriamusic]

Hey VS!

I own the J&H, I think it is great. I'm not entirely sure what the noise gate does and how turning it on or off would chance my sound.It'd be great if you can help me out with a brief explanation

Thanks!

[mindguitar]

great demo.

[TheEmerchan]

should i get this or a Fulltone gt-500?

[ferchomdo61]

Hey! i'm gonna add the jekyll & hyde (AWSOME pedal by the way! congratulations! ) .. to my pedal chain, which is currently (in this order):

Boss chromatic tuner, Dunlop crybaby 535q wahwah, ibanez tubescreamer TS9 vintage, Proco Rat II, Boss NS2 noise suppresor, Line 6 Dl4 delay.

I was wondering if you could help me where to put the J&H in my chain.

Thanks!

[VisualSoundUSA]

@ferchomdo61 Some like the Wah before distortion and some like it after, depending what your taste, I suggest putting it at the beginning of the chain... and if you don't have one, a 1SPOT combo pack would power it all and not weigh a ton...

Thanks...

[thebetterdad]

this is the pedal that The Strokes use?

[VisualSoundUSA]

Yes... it is one of them. They also use the Double Trouble and the Visual Volume as well as several others in the studio. But the Jekyll & Hyde has been their main pedal since they began.

[metalalvich]

awesome your playing is fantastic, im getting noe of this but i might not play as good as you do

[timeless812]

Hey I have one and it works great.

@VisualSoundUSA , is there a bigger list of stock settings out there?

I am not that good at finding a good sounding tone myself.

[manka6]

@timeless812 I guess you'll just have to keep trying. Trust me, there's nothing like dialing in your own perfect tone. Get crackin'!

[Alphastyx7]

aaohjdfljasdhgfkjashdklfjashdl­kfjhakfjhasdf ... Sorry. I was cleaning the jizz off of my keyboard.

[thatcoolG]

OMG OMG I JUST FELL IN LOVE... do the 2 channels settings effect eachother?

[MysteriousZero11]

the pedal the strokes use :)

[joelg125]

what's the delay unit @ 3:15?

[joelg125]

where's the noise gate mentioned by Ilovemyfender2?

[userboy6]

looks like a lot of knobs and buttons. do you need an engineering degree to operate it?

[jetboy2012]

if im using a 15 watt amp, is it still sound good?

[LumpPlump]

@jetboy2012 yes i have one :p

[jp6l6]

To me it would be very interesting because I already own a Route 66. So, I'd have two 808, a compressor and a Hyde in only two pedals.

[Ilovemyfender2]

I love the sound of this pedal but i hate the noise gate. Tried it out at guitarcenter and it complete

[VisualSoundUSA]

You can turn the gate off...

Thanks...

VS

[TheJohny913]

Hi, one question...Would this pedal still sound good through a solid-state combo amp? Thx

Btw the pedal sounds amazing :)

Greetings from Croatia

[VisualSoundUSA]

Depending upon the amp, yes, it should sound great through a solid-state amps...

VS

[deathwish959]

i love how at 1:35 you demo'd tocata and fuege by bach

[gibsonshredder86]

this sounds like something that could work for driving blues and metal, which would be perfect for me. how mold-able are the sounds possible with this?

[VisualSoundUSA]

As creative as you want to be, this pedal will ride with you... you'd be surprised. A lot of juice in the baby!

Thanks...

VS

[punkiassjunki]

wait so, whats the difference between this pedal and the son of hyde?

does this zekyl n hyde have overdrive AND distortion or what?

[bozone1234]

Hi there, whats the EQ of the Workhouse Stallion?

[jslost89]

4:14 there's a fuckin delay, i've got the same pedal and it doesn't sound like that

[golfcartonthefreeway]

Is this pedal 100% analog & true bypass?

[InspiringWear]

i have a question. could i get a less fuzzy sound out of this? like more sharp and clear? (best dist pedal ive ever heard btw)

[metalhead76250]

Does this pedal works with a C# tuned guitar?

THX

[VisualSoundUSA]

Yes!

Visual Sound

[riquelme64]

u think a fender hot rod deluxe is good witg this?

[VisualSoundUSA]

Absolutely!

Thanks for writing...

Visual Sound

[riquelme64]

hi which amp is used on this video?

[VisualSoundUSA]

Thanks for your question. For all the V2 Series pedals, it's the Workhorse Stallion by Visual Sound. We no longer make that amp, but it was a great clean 2-12 60 watt amp.

[Stefanchichi]

@VisualSoundUSA

hey i have the stallion the 30w and i have this same pedal but i have an RG ibanez and im looking for the pure power setting you had, where are your knobs on the amp when you played this demo?

[NHBluesMan]

@Stefanchichi try them at noon. My guess is that they did the demo like that to let the pedals characteristics show through

[ermonski]

I'm planning to get this one, hopefully to make my 15w amp into a monster

[NHBluesMan]

@ermonski does that for mine! I run a 15 watt amp and with both channels of the J&H on it turns into a stack! love it!

[rinos88]

Visual Sound makes the best pedals I've ever heard, period! I'm a 30 year old musician who has been at it for a long time and been around the world. Nobody, I mean NOBODY beats the tone from these guys. One of the guitarists in my band is using this pedal, along with their H20 pedal. As soon as our record deal is finalized, I believe he's going to contact them to see about artist relations. I just wish they made something for bass. I know it'd be great.

[Dvir1225]

What amp and guitar were used in this demo?

[purplecrow14]

how does tis pedal sound with my fender single coil n my blackstar Ht5 stack amp..i need to know fast before i"m getting tis pedal..many thanx

[wiresnlocksshit]

can anyone tell me if this is good with a standard tele, plz?

[wannaberocker2]

question here

can you use the distortion and then turn the overdrive so it works as a booster for soloing?

[29396]

@wannaberocker2 Yes; you can stack the two channels and use them individually as well.

[TheRobGD]

I'm surprised you didn't take the chance to tell them about the amps you guys are making. Your own verbiage says great with pedals.

[cm0220ster]

Any good tube amp. Fender deluxe VM is a good choice. Once you get into tubes prepare to spend a bit more money though. More find the style you like. Fenders are very versatile. I prefer an authentic over amp modeling any day of the week. I HATE amp modeling.

[blody69]

Does someone know wich amp works great with pedals? does Visual Sound made amps??

[VisualSoundUSA]

Any amp that is clean with good headroom.

VS

[BradSpead7]

they used to. I think they discontinued them (which sucks, cause i wanted to get one!).

[LuZeR411]

@blody69: Try a Fender Hot Rod. They take pedals well.

[BradSpead7]

@blody69 they used to make amps called the Workhorse amps. Absolutely amazing, but sadly no longer on the market. If you find one on e-bay GET IT! it's the PERFECT amp to use with pedals

[russellstall]

4:41 the guitar is laughing at unworthy players.

[CarvinTone]

I like the MID down DIST, it cranks. For me its hard to use the OD with the DIST, I also got the Route 66 so I can use the same OD and a Comp in front of the Hyde as well, nice boxes, my favs. If you like the Strat Blues, SRV thing the Double Trouble or Route 66 is it. The VS OD is the best a real nice 808 type with a bass boost if you want. The Hyde Dist is cool, I am sort of stuck on the MIDS down Drive up tone, really a great metal tone.

By the way this guy is a killer player!!!

[XplodingGuy]

how did you record this?

[NeverSerious132]

can i get marshally type of distortion out of these babes???? if not what would you suggest????

[VisualSoundUSA]

Absolutely! That's sort of the point with this pedal. It's like a Marshall in a box. Beefy and rich! Jump on and take a ride!

Visual Sound

[InFuriatedShadows]

is the mid control the same as the EQ knob on the distrotion side like the V1?

[vlasasalv]

i have one and it´s the best pedal what i´ve ever had

so many different sounds and always it sounds so naturally even with solid-state amp

[ledzep149]

wow! everything ive ever wanted in a pedal!

[TylerFknMetal]

Tehee..I have one of those

[EILIVdrummer]

I`m planning to buy that one!

is it realy GRAT?!

On a scale from 1 to 10

[EILIVdrummer]

Sorry I ment Great

[ikilledstacey]

dude can you play both overdrive and distortion at the same time??

[FlorisFrusciante]

yes you can, it's even shown on 1:25

[bezposoka]

Very cool sound!

[bezposoka]

Very cool sound!

[felipefuentealba]

great pedal!

[guitarplayerst]

Man, this is amazing! I already own this pedal but had this review been here when I was looking I would have bought it even sooner. GREAT REVIEW for the tonal range this pedal will produce!!!!!

[cyrilzhangwaz]
