    a beautiful chorus

    It is in the same box analog chorus and digital delay. It works by jack for guitar. is analog, so not editable.

    UTILIZATION

    It does not get lost in the settings, and the sound comes easily!

    As for the delay in slapback is a treat, it is very warm.

    OVERALL OPINION

    4 years now, it may not appeal to everyone, but it's really good I think! I have not tested the v2, but v1 is robust! I tried many insipid chorus before but this is the chorus to my foot! It is expensive for an effect of this type, but the price is worth it!

    I would do this choice to test the v2!

    A digital and an analog echo chorus.

    Alim classic, or 9V battery.

    A second output for unprocessed sound.

    Pasted to the previous opinion, everything has been said on it no worries!

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple configuration:

    Delay: Delay Time - Feedback - Effect Level Switch with a short delay to spend long! In short everything has already been said about this in prior reviews.

    I still give my opinion on the robustness of the case of the pedal, it has fiercely strong air, printed to look good in the shelter system in there!

    I still give my opinion on the robustness of the case of the pedal, it has fiercely strong air, printed to look good in the shelter system in there!

    The knobs are effective in black, they are easy to handle because it is very tactile. In fact, we feel the small bump on the knobs indicating where the knob is, so that even if you see nothing, you can still place it.

    Unfortunately I think this is not the case in Version 2 of this pedal has replaced the more version1 produced today.

    SOUND QUALITY

    THE CHORUS: The chorus is superb! Very personal! It sounds extremely hot, extremely round and warm. It does not have this side "gniiii gniii" is meant in some chorus (I do not know if I made myself clear but the high frequencies on some swirling chorus).
    You can spend a very vibe sound, a sound standard (Guns'N'Roses Knocking On Heavens Door, standard carcass what) a more distinctive sound (Police and 80's as Purple Rain) to a much more subtle sound for lead in the Mike Stern (when not abused too).
    The chorus is as effective clean in overdrive!
    Precisely overdrive it gives a real sensation aquatic agreements! How wonderful to open chords with chorus and good settings engaged. The sound becomes water and intoxicating wish!
    BUT CAUTION: It is possible to detect a significant boost in volume when the chorus is switched, which can be very annoying or wanted!
    This boost was much embarrassed me personally but I could master playing less strong when I enclenchais chorus, giving less dynamic shots or pick softer fingers.


    THE DELAY: This is my disappointment, it is versatile enough (up to 800ms) but still it is too far back. Basically I had bought this pedal for the delay to "grow" my solos (yes it is quite absurd ...). Well, I was pretty disappointed:

    The delay does not sound digital, it is darker, but I do not find her particularly nice color. In short, it does not add a great color to magnify solos, it is certainly too neutral. Some delay when used to magnify solos, emit some pretty subtle and very nice reverb.
    Well I think it is not his case, therefore, I'm pretty disappointed delay.

    So this would note:

    CHORUS: 9/10 (haaaa without the boost of volume I would have put a big 10/10 well deserved!)

    DELAY: 6/10

    AVERAGE: 7.5

    OVERALL OPINION

    I exchanged it no longer against the Visual Sound Liquid Chorus (Chorus only actually) and Ibanez DE7 (delay pedal) because one of my groups demanded the use of a delay longer present, something my Visual Sound did not know how.

    We will say that by participating in this exchange, I gained at the delay (the DE7 is biiiiiiiien better) but I lost in the chorus.

    The Chorus of H2O is really beautiful, I love the heat it gives off, and overdrive I never tired of the trigger for the latest open chords! A pure delight!

    The boost volume recorded on the chorus, however, is a fault not ignore.

    In fact it can be very annoying in some situations, we do not necessarily want to boost its sound when it snaps a chorus!

    And that's a shame, because this defect out there chorus is sublime.

    A pedal tried before buying the extent possible, as always, but is no longer produced it will be hard.


    Anyway, used it rotates between the 85 €, if you want a chorus TOP QUALIDAD (and boost the volume does not scare you) and a useful delay in coloring parts of your songs, then this pedal is made for you.

    Then the next 2 1 is quite attractive given the sound effects available (it's not 10 in 1 multi-effects "I make noises and I love it!").

    In short, it will still MY MODEL Chorus "Perfect"!
    And yes I bought it for the delay and I eventually became addicted to the chorus, while the chorus I did not care, it is telling you!

    SOUND QUALITY

    The chorus is really interesting, I have a small clone (reference) and a boss ce5 (the stuff that nobody wants to redeem yourself) ... Well it still sounds different!
    This is whirling water (h2o eh), yum.
    The echo is correct (after welding that I have to redo it works again this p ***** pedal has caused me many problems).
    You can adjust the volume and repetition, and duration.
    I personally put light volume to enrich my game without it becoming overwhelming.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I edit my opinion, I was in rage myself fooled by unscrupulous vendor (not to say a bastard).
    After heating the amp, plugged the guitar and switched the effect .. there is happiness. I've had a two week what.
    I have several chorus (what is the plural of chorus?) Home.
    I did not echo (long hesitated with the space echo boss tested in a mate, which is great I guess, but tight finances) and no thunes or desire to slam 200 balls in a Strymon or other ( that sounds of thunder is ok but there is).
    I would do a choice? bah the extent or range is rather riqueraque in the field and those rates, so I would do the choice, it is a good alternative that the h2o that is no longer manufactured (I can already see the ads: vintage, rare, is no longer manufactured to justify a sale price shameful in some time).
    They also have very big but the prices are too, so why not one day, in the meantime, I'll try to find settings that suit me, it's job, because the chorus is very responsive and rich.

    Visual Sound H2O Liquid Chorus and Echo

    Truetone H2O V1Published on 11/06/01 at 15:00
    Purchased from Musician's Friend online for $130.00 (US). After I borrowed a rack fx box from a friend, I fell in love with the chorus and echo for both guitar and vocal work. I wondered what it would be like to have better thicker chorus and more control for my vocals, so after reading a few reviews I thought about the H2O, and I emailed the company to ask if they had tried vocals. They responded promptly that they knew of someone using it for vocals but hadn't tried it. I decided to give it a shot.

They responded promptly that they knew of someone using it for vocals but hadn't tried it. I decided to give it a shot.

    It's very simple to use, and it inspired me to play for several hours from the moment I plugged it in with my guitar. Worked fine with my mic, and I was able to get some very spacy vocal sounds.

    After playing it for a few months now, both the effects sound a little "canned", just a little. When I first turn it on there is a loud ringing sound, so I have to turn it on before the amp if I don't want to hear it. When switching on and off both effects, there is a slight pinging sound, so I wouldn't want to use the swithces live on the fly (which sort of defeats the purpose of having foot switches).

    When it was only a few days old, I pushed the unit across the floor with my foot and two of the rubber "feet" fell right off. There was enough glue to stick them back on, but now I have to be careful, and I'm sure they will fall off again, and I will have to glue them on with something better than what came from the factory. The body of the unit is very solid; knobs and switches very sturdy and smooth and look and feel as if they will last about fifty years.

    All in all this is a pretty nice box and the effects are fine for live performance if you don't mind the slight ping (or don't use foot the switches). I have done some interesting recording with it, and I want to like it more, but they really need to improve on some basic things in my opinion. I might trade mine, I'm not sure yet.

    This includes an analog chorus pedal and a digital echo. It is not rack mountable, and the effects can not be modified except by turning the knobs.
    Simple connection: 1 In, 1 Out "wet" Out 1 "dry", and fuche a sector with Boss type 9V center negative.

    UTILIZATION

    Setup is simple: three knobs and a footswitch for effect, plus a toggle switch on the side echo. These two effects are independent, and I think his first passes in the echo and then in the chorus.

    For chorus: SPEED (adjusts the speed of "rotation"), WIDTH (adjusts the depth of modulation) and DELAY TIME (very slightly delaying the processed sound to amplify the chorus).
    To echo: ECHO TIME (duration between the time you play and when the echo "return"), REPEAT (number of repetitions, knowing he can not go to infinity), EFFECT LEVEL (volume of his treatise, the direct sound always happens). And inter rocker, which allows to move from an echo less than 300/330 ms to about a little more than 2 seconds.
    I have not had with the manual, so no judgment on this point.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I use this pedal with a guitar.
    The chorus is a gem, which can range from very light chorus to highlight an arpeggio up a feeling of subsea Leslie, through all intermediaries. Only small downside, mine "whistle" a bit when I switched.
    Echo is also superb, it has, and it is important to note, almost the behavior of an analog echo: repetition is less severe than the direct sound. on the other hand, the echo is not "dirty" or modulated, and it becomes still realize that it's digital.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this pedal for about 10 months. I have not tried other similar pedal before buying, rather c'Ã was a whim.
    What I like in this pedal, it is these sounds. What I dislike is its form, not really "pedalboard-friendly"!
    The ratio Q / P in my opinion is good, especially if, like me, it is found in the $ 100. With experience, it is likely that I would do the same choice!

    unique sound

    Truetone H2O V1Published on 12/11/11 at 22:31
    This is an interesting take on delay pedals. It basically is a digital delay. There is a single input and output, which are both 1/4" instrument inputs. This pedal is not capable of being edited with a Computer. There are also no MIDI capabilities and there is no way to rack mount this pedal.


    UTILIZATION

    This is one of the more difficult pedals I've had to try and use. I find that quite often when I'm reviewing some pedals, I remark at how much I like the ease of use, and how I find the manual unnecessary. I had the complete opposite experience when using this. First of all, the manual doesn't explain anything, which would be fine if the pedal weren't so strange.

First of all, the manual doesn't explain anything, which would be fine if the pedal weren't so strange.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I don't really think this is my favorite delay. There are times when I love the tone that I get out of it (A nice, wet delay, not one that is marred by excessive echo, or one that sounds too huge). However, it seems as though the pedal robs me of volume as well as tone when I have it on. Beyond that, when I need to get loud, this thing is NOISY. I really can't have that as I tend to have enough noise problems as it is. Using a noise gate doesn't even seem to work well. Since I play rock music, and need distortion, I can't crank the noise gate up too much without robbing me of serious tone. However, that's exactly what I need to do in order to even remotely tame this thing. It's very frustrating. However, I will say that beyond the noise, this pedal has a unique and interesting sound.


    OVERALL OPINION

    I have found that I don't really need the sounds that I can get out of this thing anyway, which is why I ended up selling it back. I was surprised later to find that other people had reported having good experiences with this pedal. I would say that if you are interested, definitely try it with a power supply as opposed to a battery. I would also recommend buying a noise gate in tandem, so that you can tame the noise. Not every gate is going to work with this guy. This pedal is a risky purchase that probably shouldn't be anybody's first foray into delay pedals.

    Nice combo effects

    Truetone H2O V1Published on 11/22/11 at 14:36
    Visual Sound make some great effects pedals for the gigging and recording musicians. This is a cool little pedal if you need two effects combine into one small little unit. Basically this is a chorus pedal along with the delayed tpedal in one. You have 2 foot switch stops on the box as well as a separate side for controls for each of the two effects. This is a cool little pedal that has stereo outputs and has a fantastic tone for any setting.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The chorus tone is very lush and watery which sounds very good and clean setting. You have a switch for normal and lush which allows you to dial in a little bit different voicings for the chorus tone. On the other side it has a time, repeats, and the overall effect volume level. It also has a short and long switch that allows the repeats to be staggered or repeating over a long period of time. This is a pretty good up pedal for the money but it's certainly not to be a high-end pedal either. But really, who gives a rip about high-end pedals, I think the most pedals over 400 or $500 don't really do much anything different than some of the hundred dollar or $200 pedals. Pretty much tone is in the hands anyway so if you get this sound that you're looking for for $150 for $200 that I suggest going with that.

    OVERALL OPINION

    At new you can find these pedals for right around $190. That's a pretty good price for two different effects in one pedal. So it doesn't take up a lot of space on your pedal board as well. I recommend this pedal to someone is looking to free up some space on their pedal board and doesn't want to spend a whole lot of money to do it.

    Nice Tones on Both Sides, but with a Boost.

    Truetone H2O V1Published on 11/19/11 at 14:01
    The Visual Sound H2O V1 is a “home plate” shaped chorus and echo pedal. The pedal has a solid metal housing and two sturdy switches. One switch is to engage the chorus and one to engage the echo. They can be used separately or pressed together. The unit has a single input, but has outputs that can be used for mono or stereo. The chorus has three knobs to hone in the sound; speed, width, and delay time. The echo has three knobs and a switch; delay time, repeats, effect level and a switch for short or long delay times. The pedal can run off of 9 volts of battery power or a power supply.

The pedal can run off of 9 volts of battery power or a power supply.

    UTILIZATION

    The idea behind this pedal is great; two pedals that are commonly used in conjunction with each other that can be used simultaneously or independently housed in the same pedal. The pedal seems to be built very well from the outside, though I have had issues with reliability with this pedal. The echo side of this pedal has never let me down, the chorus side is another story. I had used the pedal one day during a practice session, and the following day the chorus side of the pedal just would not work. Signal still passed through the pedal and the echo side worked fine, but when trying to turn on the chorus side there was no effect to the tone whatsoever, even though the LED was turned on. My first impression was that it was a switch issue, but after talking with Visual Sounds customer service I found out the issue was probably something with the board. The people at Visual Sound were very helpful, so there is a plus on their side. Though I bought the pedal used and had no warranty for the pedal they were willing to send several emails and schematics so I could check a few things on the pedal. In the end I sent it to them and for a bench fee of 25 dollars they were able to get me back and running. Not bad customer service for an old product bought on the used market. This may have been a fluke with my pedal, but at least if a Visual Sound pedal goes down you know you’ll be able to get it fixed without having to buy a new one.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The chorus side of this pedal is very lush and warm sounding. It can handle swooshing and swirling sounds to make a clean sound very lively and dreamy, or it can do an almost vibe pulsating sound. You can cope several different styles of modulation out of the chorus side, but it does a very smooth Pink Floyd type chorus very well. The echo side of the pedal does around 800 ms of analog voiced echo. Since it’s trying to sound analog it’s a little on the warmer darker side of the spectrum, so you aren’t going to get those crisp clone repeats like you would from a Boss digital delay. I find it to be very natural sounding with a nice taper in the decay. Slapbacks or medium length echos are available, but the pedal is not capable of super long delays. This doesn’t bother me because the pedal is right in the range of delay I use. The one problem I have with the sound and the pedal as a whole is the volume boost I get from the pedal. There is a very noticeable boost in the volume when I use this pedal. Though it is less noticeable with different amps, it is still apparent

    OVERALL OPINION

    Overall this is a nice sounding pedal if you want warm liquid tones and short delay times. The volume boost on these early pedals leave the pedal useless for me at a gig, but for use during an entire song or recording it wouldn’t be bad. If I had it to do over again I would not buy this pedal, especially at a new price. I like the idea of the two in one pedal for using the switches, but as your tastes in sound change you might end up using only half of the pedal and it takes up a lot of pedalboard real-estate. I feel it’s a little over priced and the volume boost is just ridiculous at this price point. I believe it has been addressed in the new versions of the pedal though. Visual Sound as a company earned some points with me through their help with fixing my pedal, but this pedal is lacking in areas that have made me turn to other pedals.

    UTILIZATION

    Like any self-respecting chorus, the use is very simple.

    UTILIZATION

    Like any self-respecting chorus, the use is very simple.
    The knobs respond very well to micrometer :-)

    The delay is also very easy to use.

    In short, it is best to use brand new batteries or a power supply. I think the official site, it is advisable to use an adapter.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The chorus is a very high quality. My opinion is on my experience: I did not touch other Chorus pedals ^ _ ^
    But it has an impressive variety in the settings. I do not grow at all the knobs to get the desired effects. Otherwise, pushing further, we get very experimental effects.

    Now I use it primarily to make arpeggios volume to a clean sound. But also do nicely for palm muting and swell the lead.
    I do not play Rock-A-Billy, but the short delay allowed me to find sounds that I wanted. Concerning the long delay in the lead, I have a slight disappointment: I did not find the exact delay as expected. It may simply be a matter of adjustment since I have not spent enough time on it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been a long time I was looking for a solution of this type: a case involving chorus and delay. The Must have been to include some other modulation effects (tremolo, flanger, phaser), but maybe one day?

    I got it used, and there is an excellent deal. You have there, a box containing two high-quality effects. In any case, being newbie in the effects I am completely satisfied!

    A recommendation for those who:
    - Not too much room at home (2 pedals in 1)
    - Can not afford to invest in two large pedals
    - Are looking for a chorus + delay

    UTILIZATION

    The chorus is simple to configure. The potentiomtres are effective and can be treated in its signal fine.

    The delay is more complicated handle. Indeed, the absence of a "tap tempo" is a weak point size to use live growth.

    The overall ergonomics of the pdalier is otherwise exceptional. Particulire form used to operate all that needs to be the same in complete darkness. You also find a small manual that explains some rglages prdfinis sounding. But it is way out-many other things that pedals.

    Note also the prsence a real electronic bypass that does not color the sound once the effects dclenchs.

    The dual output routing can be arranging for some express sound.

    [5] Easy to use, overall arrangement. The small manquo is the lack of tap tempo which prevents a better note.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Analog Chorus is a beaut poustouflante. This is the highlight of the pedals. By operating the three potentiomtres, we get all the sounds needed in the records and modern styles. His signature sound be distinct from normal standards and it is a pleasure to express with this unit. Visual Sound as one of the company dernires rdition personal use of the delay circuits for its Panasonic analog MODELS.

    The delay is less convincing as a little behind its fast. By-cons, the quality of sound is enjoyable but trs. Short or long function even broader possibilities.

    In all situations, the sound is of great purity and warmth.

    [8] If a silent chorus pedals, it would probably MRIT note [9]. But here's the delay a bit slow empchera certain uses. The sound, however admirable in all situations.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a month. The PDAL has rsist those first concerts and the launch of beers on scne.

    Its ease of use in live sound and beauty of the arguments are buying their own.

    I like the strength and especially the sounds of this machine. As someone who is always looking for original sound solutions. The PDAL is an ally of choice.

    The price of 200 euros is nine as trs honnte Whereas if we take into account that there are two pedals in one for that price. I maintain, however, for the entire march of the fact that prices for "good" pedals are malhonntes.

    [8] 2 in 1 solution that is not rotten, affordable and high quality. For professional and amateur lovers warned. ;)

    The polished look of the pedals, while the housing mtal, and knobs of good bills, inspires confidence ds dballage.

    Ngatif single point, the abscence of a tap tempo for the game Echo very useful for live.

    UTILIZATION

    Aside from the history of tap tempo, the pedals is a real treat. The knobs are sensitive trs. They are moving to just one mm is the sound is processed. The switches are close enough to trigger the effect at the same time and moves away enough just to use one. In the design of the trs is a good job.
    The manual is very simple, it gives some rglages to start, knowing that it is possible to go much further. The H2O can spit sounds from elsewhere .... yum!

    SOUND QUALITY

    The most interesting and sound. The chorus is just amazing. I redcouvert by offering me the workhorse pony of the same brand (see opinion). On a clear second to none, it is so liquid that could whine! What is really interesting is the range of its almost Drout. It's going to sound leslie at bar chorus, lovers of sonic experimentation and the pedals for you!

    Only BMOL on the part chorus, it adds a few db once engaged. It accommodates nanmoins it quite easily.

    The echo when he does his job. Nothing extravagant in his case. In short mode, it will produce a reverb that spacialisation good sound (you can almost Whereas troisime has a purpose). Mode it will produce a long echo trs adjustable Fidler, until 800 ms. It can also rgler the number of rptition and volume. By spending a little time on the set of sounds you can get the best effect. The echo request nanmoins a little practice to get the sought-its.

    For the worshipers of space intersidrale or swarms of weird noises, combine the two effects, you will not!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I no longer plans to use a different pedals as this. The diversity of sounds and ease of use make this a must H2O!
    I use it for a year, I bought 180 and is a friend who had advised me. I do not regret that choice. 2 effects pedals and a half with this one's for 180 euros it's all good!

    UTILIZATION

    - The configuration gnrale Is it easy?

    Yes 3 knobs for each effect.

    - The edition of sounds and effects is it easy?

    Yes, it is easy to sound, the knobs are sensitive but not running innopinment, there are few examples in a booklet with the pedals.

    - The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

    so far

    SOUND QUALITY

    - Effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?

    the chorus is beautiful, nothing to say about this cot has a very wide spectrum and can really have lots of uses diffrent, the genre has a mild chemical to beautify a clear example (I m 'serve in this fawn)

    the delay is somewhat less conclusive, I find it too behind, even by turning the knobs to the bottom, it is too low. I'm not do I got, but I bought the pedals for the delay at the base ... There is a button short / long the delay, petmet this button to run the sound delay, I think a reverb can be used easily. Except that it is too low a sound point of view, he can feel good qalit know-how, it's not for nothing that has pedals so good reputable.

    - Which instruments do you use?

    Sovtek Mig 60 head, a Gibson Melody Maker, and pedals for distortion / crunch HT-Dual ...

    - What are those you prfrez, you dtest?

    Dja said above, great chorus, but that would delay MRIT a little more attention from designers.

    I put a note was left as a very good pedals.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?

    will make a 4 or 5 months

    - What is the particular feature you like best and least?

    I easily found a sound that suits me, and now I have my rglages, I do not touch more!

    - Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

    I do not nan rflchi I needed a delay in emergency and m 't urges

    - How do you report qualitprix?

    Very good, it is worth more than its price, it was on.

    - With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

    I think even though I was a little bit of delay (one would actually reassure us), the chorus is very good, and size effects in a two pedals is very practical, I try to do a stock pedals, and I fear soon have around (I use them all).

    A very good pedals for a test before to make sure I have what you seek!

    I said that the chorus is very musical, even in the maximum position, there is a use, (see the keyboard that doubles the voice of Waters in "Sheep" from the album "Animals" by Pink Floyd).

    I especially wanted to post this notice to criticize the delay, because I am a little disappointed.
    It is perhaps a delay in calling "vintage", because the sound deteriorates progressively when choosing a long répétiotion
    But when I want an agreement and dry plates have a long and strong enough repetition, with a short time delay, there is no more than 4 "audible", others are crushed by the group.
    When you put "repeat" maximum "volume" to the max, it was an almost infinite delay but very weak! So, in short, the more you want to repeat, they will be less strong. It is therefore necessary to "repeat" two-thirds to be most audible ...

    But against the delay, in "long" is very usable in its discretion criticized above ...

    Also note, you can play with the pitch, by turning the "delay time", which can make a whammy effect (very limited of course) discreet enough if you have the courage to go down.

    (-> 6 for the delay ...)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a month and a half before j'utilisaismon zoom g2.1u for delays, which had the advantage of making delays "in long-term repeat-volume correct", but was less musical position short (as substitute for reverb) and long (what do you want, everything is better than the Zoom G2, spent the 50 euros in a stomp box)

    I think it is to have a delay so as not to take the lead, delay an "auxiliary" fairly quiet, but I think buying the boss DD-20 with an expression pedal for something more "workable" .

    I bought it for a really good chorus and a delay at the same time, to avoid playing with my Zoom G2 and have a pedalboard "survival" in proper quality compact pedal (V847-90 Phase-Rat 2-H2O!), so I'm happy with this pedal because it fulfilled its role.
