Visual Sound V2 Double Trouble:
The All-New Double Trouble from Visual Sound. Everyone loves the overdrive channel in Visual Sound’s
Jekyll & Hyde and
Route 66 pedals. Over the years, Visual Sound has had many requests to put two of these overdrives into one pedal, allowing for two different settings and the ability to use them together. Now you can have that great sound and all the advantages of V2 Series construction, plus the addition of an innovative noise reduction system, in the Double Trouble…only from Visual Sound!
Features:
Dimensions: 5" x 6" (126 x 153mm).
Current Draw: 21-24mA.
Easy battery access for quick and convenient replacement (can be powered by battery or optional 9vdc adapter).
All the jacks, including the power adapter jack, are hand-wired, point-to-point, to the circuit board, so if you accidentally step on a plug it will keep working.
Newly designed diecast aluminum housing has been streamlined reducing the footprint by nearly 20%.
Even if you plug in a 9VAC power supply by mistake, it won't burn up your pedal as would happen with most other efffects. It won't work, but it won't do any damage.
The pure tone buffer circuit is a unity-gain preamp buffer designed to make your guitar sound like its's plugged directly into the amp even if it's going through long cables and many other effects pedals: somthing true-bypass pedals could never give you.
The new switching system in the V2 series is designed to last for ten million foot-stomps: that's basically forever!
REVIEWS & USER COMMENTS: HARMONY CENTRAL USER REVIEW 3/30/2008:
"I play in a blues rock band and also play some rocking worship music at church. I really connected with this pedal. It is very responsive to my playing and sounds great in my rig. I orginally was looking for the Visual Sound Jekyll and Hyde but they are sold out everywhere. I tried this one at Sam Ash after watching the You Tube Video on it online and was very impressed. I'm used to using the two overdrive setup but this pedal is a great improvement over my old setup. If it were stolen or lost I would definitely buy it again."
HARMONY CENTRAL USER REVIEW 12/19/2007:
"I have been playing the Visual Sound pedals for the last several years. I currently play a custom shop Fender strat through a 65 Deluxe reissue amp. I initially fell in love with the Route 66 pedal when it first came out after struggling to find tone nirvana modding my tube screamers. I eventually wound up with a Route 66 and a Jekyll & Hyde on my board but typically used the Jekyll side in combination with the Route 66. The two together made my strat come alive... add a touch of delay from the analog qualities of the H20 pedal and magic happens. I couldn't wait to get my hands on the Double Trouble as it combines my two pedal worlds in to one and I was able to clean up the pedal board a bit. They also added a noise suppressor circuit, which has cleaned up the only other issue with the other two old pedals combined. I pulled the Route 66 and J&H pedals off my board today when the Double Trouble arrived and put it in place. It sounds dead on like the old TS808 pedals... but with a base boost. I have only had the pedal for a day, but so far I got a sweet sound right from the start and then after about 20 minutes of toying with the two pedals in combination I found a tone that suits me well... sort of Clapton meets SRV. The pedal with my texas special single coils is very responsive to slight volume adjustments on the guitar and pick attack. The Double Trouble seems very transparent."
