TrueTone V3 Jekyll & Hyde Overdrive Distortion Pedal

TrueTone V3 Jekyll & Hyde  – The Iconic Dual Overdrive & Distortion Unleashed

The TrueTone V3 Jekyll & Hyde is a highly versatile and iconic dual overdrive and distortion pedal, meticulously engineered to provide guitarists with an unparalleled range of gain possibilities within a single enclosure. Offering two independent, footswitchable channels, the V3 Jekyll & Hyde allows you to effortlessly transition from classic bluesy crunch to searing high-gain distortion.

Building on its legendary lineage, the V3 delivers TrueTone's signature transparency, robust build quality, and nuanced tonal sculpting capabilities, making it an indispensable tool for any genre.

The "Jekyll" Side: Transparent Overdrive with Enhanced Control

The "Jekyll" side of the V3 Jekyll & Hyde offers a smooth, articulate overdrive inspired by classic Tube Screamer-style tones, yet with increased clarity and dynamic range. Perfect for pushing your amp into natural breakup, adding sustain, or creating a warm, vocal lead tone, this channel features independent Volume, Drive, and Tone controls for precise shaping. Furthermore, an internal "Voice" switch allows you to fine-tune the low-end response, ensuring your tone remains tight and powerful, whether you're using single coils or humbuckers.

The "Hyde" Side: Aggressive Distortion with Modern Versatility

The "Hyde" side delivers a powerful, high-gain distortion that retains exceptional articulation and tight low-end response, making it ideal for modern rock, metal, and heavy blues. This aggressive channel provides its own independent Volume, Drive, and Tone controls. Crucially, it includes a "Bright" switch to add sparkle and cut, and a "Scoop" switch to carve out the mid-range for a classic scooped metal tone, offering immense flexibility to dial in your perfect distorted character for rhythm or lead.

Unmatched Flexibility with Independent Routing & Headroom

The V3 Jekyll & Hyde sets itself apart with completely independent input and output jacks for each of its two channels. This innovative design allows for incredible routing flexibility: stack the overdrive into the distortion, distortion into overdrive, or even run each side into separate amplifiers or place other effects pedals in between. Internally, the pedal automatically converts a standard 9V DC input to a higher voltage, providing increased headroom and dynamic response, resulting in a clearer, more open sound, especially with high-gain settings. TrueTone's Pure Tone Bypass ensures your signal remains pristine when the pedal is disengaged.
