Visual Sound: Pedal Shootout #1: Overdrive

http://www.visualsound.net/index.php/store The first 2 pedals were an original TS-808 Tubescreamer (Pedal 1) and a Klon Centaur (Pedal 2), but these were left out of the video in order to keep it under the 10 minute YouTube limit. The Klon Centaur won over the TS-808 Tubescreamer.

How I know that you didn't just mess with the tone knobs on the pedals? Yes, gain and volume levels matter, but so do the tone knobs. Hence maybe why the VS 808 had more low end.

No messing with the knobs... the VS Rt. 808 has a tone knob and bass boost so that you can dial back in what get's lost in most overdrives. Plus it has a great gain than most overdrives. But the proof is in the hearing, Go to a store and hear it for yourself. Then you can make your own conclusions...

Thanks for the comment...

To see how the voting, etc. worked, watch the video called "Visual Sound Pedal Shootout".

Man, i love my Jekyll and Hyde, when staked it with my Timmy it sounds even greater! Love visual sound..got the VS Volume Pedal, the Comp 66 and the J&H on my pedalboard.

I got my route 808 in a sweet ebay bundle with a pedal board, power supply, vox standard wah, bb preamp, boss tuner, and a bunch of cables. This pedal was a big surprise and I loved it instantly

what a great guy

How does the circuitry/sound of the 808 side of the Jekyll & Hyde V1 red differ from the V2? I know that the V1 is true bypass, and the V2 is buffered, but apart from that is there any differences?

I know people all over is going to scald me for this , but the klon centaur sucks , it always sucks and I couldn't wait to get rid of it . There is tons of pedals out there that sounds 10 times better than the Klon . This is a great lesson for the pedal snobs out there .

the overdrive side of the jekyll and hyde IS in fact a TS808 clone, but it IS somehow better. i have '79 TS808 and a jekyll and hyde. i compare both pedals in every setting possible, the jekyll and hyde wins EVERY time :)

This dude is selling me on pedals that I already love. I think searching for a "better" 808 clone is like pissing money down a drain after tonight.
