A Compact 2-channel Overdrive and Distortion Pedal
Add a double dose of distortion to your pedalboard with the Truetone Jekyll and Hyde V3 Overdrive and Distortion pedal. The Jekyll channel is based on the Open Road pedal, but adds a Bass knob and a Clean Mix control for finding the perfect mix of grit. Hyde is far more than an amplified version of Jekyll, sporting heavier distortion and more bottom end. The flexible tone sculpting of the Bright and Voice switches make this pedal the perfect Swiss Army knife for your rig. From Blues to Metal and everything in between, Truetone's Jekyll and Hyde V3 delivers.

Independent drive channels aren't the only flexible thing about the Truetone Jekyll and Hyde V3's configuration. Separate inputs and outputs let you use each of the Jekyll and Hyde V3's channels independently, add additional effects between them, or change the order of effects. Of course, if you don't want to patch them separately, you can just put the whole Truetone Jekyll and Hyde V3 in your signal path like any other pedal, but it's nice to know that the extra flexibility is there, in case you want to integrate it with a switching system or other gear.
High-tech circuitry that's sure to excite any tone puristThe Truetone Jekyll and Hyde V3 is a true bypass pedal by design, but a Truetone design isn't necessarily like other pedals. In this case, the switching mechanism is based on gold-plated relays and circuitry designed by RG Keen to keep it extra quiet. But sometimes buffering is better, which is why Trutone outfitted the Jekyll and Hyde V3 overdrive pedal with a Pure Tone buffer that you can set either channel to switch on or off if you like. Take it from the Sweetwater crew - no matter how you set it up, you'll be amazed by how little noise the Truetone Jekyll and Hyde V3 dual overdrive adds to your sound.
