Visual Sound Route 66 Instruction Manual

Route 66

In 1999, Visual Sound made the statement “Route 66 is sure to become as legendary as
its namesake.” With countless great guitarists using it since then, it has. The new V2
Series Route 66 gives the same great tone guitarists have come to love over the years, but
with all the advantages of V2 construction plus an added noise reduction system.

With classic compression combined with classic overdrive, the Route 66 pedal gives you
two great effects for the price of one. The two effects sound great on their own and can
also be combined to compliment one another. The compressor can sound like a vintage
Dyna Comp or Ross compressor, but is much more versatile, having a Tone control
(which can be turned on or off) and a clean-boost pre-amp controlled by the Gain knob.
The overdrive channel is designed to improve on the sound of the TS-808 Tubescreamer,
including a bass boost switch and far more output volume than the original.

Using Route 66 with a good tube is sure to make it sing! Following are some settings to
