Bob Weil and R.G. Keen worked hard to design this pedal for you, using their ears and engineering skill to produce the best
effects possible. They also tested the pedals during the design phase with many great guitarists to get their opinions on tone
and features. What resulted is the pedal you’re holding right now. Not only will you love the sound of your new pedal, but you
can rely on it to last for many years to come.

The new switching system in the V2 Series is designed to last for 10 million foot-stomps...yes, that’s basically forever! All the
jacks including the power jack are hand-wired, point-to-point, to the circuit board so if you accidentally step on a plug, it will
keep on working. Even if you plug in a 9VAC power supply by mistake, it won’t burn up your pedal as would happen in most
other effects...it won’t work, but it won’t do any damage. As always, Visual Sound effects pedals can take a variety of
musician rated 9VDC adapters*, including of course the 1 SPOT

®

power supply made by Visual Sound.

You will also benefit from the Pure Tone buffer circuit used in all Visual Sound effects pedals since 1997. The Pure Tone
circuit is a unity gain pre-amp buffer designed to make your guitar sound like it’s plugged directly into the amp even if it’s
going through long cables and many other effects pedals...something “true-bypass” pedals could never give you.

Use this instruction manual as a guide for getting started with great tones from your new V2 Series pedal. Of course,
you should experiment with your own settings as well...there are no rules when it comes to discovering your own sound.
Just find the tones that inspire you to play. That’s what it’s all about!

*Boss, Ibanez, Dunlop, Morley, Voodoo Labs and other musician rated 9VDC power supplies will also work (output plug with center pin negative)...do not use Radio Shack or other non-musician
power supplies. Shameless promotional plug: The 1 SPOT is the best 9VDC power supply for all your pedals!

First launched in 1997, Jekyll & Hyde was the first pedal to combine two
separate effects in one package. The new

V2 Series

Jekyll & Hyde gives
the same great tone guitarists have come to love over the years, but
with all the advantages of V2construction plus an added noise
reduction system.

Each channel has separate controls, but with the ability to use them
individually or together. The Jekyll overdrive channel is designed
to accurately reproduce the sound of the TS-808 Tubescreamer,
but with a

Bass Boost

switch and far more output volume
than the original. Hyde is a heavier distortion with more
bottom end and is extremely versatile. Not just a “Turbo”
version of Jekyll, Hyde has a wide range of sounds that can
be discovered by using the

Mid

knob to adjust the midrange,

a

Sharp/Blunt

switch to go from a more compressed distortion

to very bright, along with

Drive, Treble

, and

Volume

knobs to set
the overall style of sound. With the user-friendly controls, the sonic
possibilities are endless. On the following pages are some settings to
get you started...
