2 separate channels analog pedals (but usable simultanment) Jekyll (taking up the overdrive circuit TS808) and Hyde (distortion)
input / output / jack adapter 9V
the same simplicity!
mtal in case of solid appearance, and, most importantly, superb level design. exudes a quality.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, it is like having two pedals in the same case. for each channel there is a drive knob, 1 tone and 1 volume (plus an EQ for channel Hyde). Bass boost option for the channel and sharp Jekyll / Blount (compression) of Hyde.

No manual, but examples of rglages for all styles. ample.
Note that the knobs are sensitive and trs prcis, each change having a significant impact on your exact sound. Therefore, take some time to find his rglages ftiches, but with an attentive ear, while having fun, this is achieved quickly.

About knobs, and now I use it for some time, just a little BMOL: they are hyper sensitive. If like me you have little space in your pdalboard and the pedals are glued to each other, you may, in the pedals Inrush nearest to touch the knobs of Jekyll . Hey, those are hyper sensitive and do not establish the slightest contact may radically change your rglages, but there is only one snapping it realizes, of o possible surprises. - 1 for the knobs hypersensibilit therefore not very practical when juggling multiple pedals in pdalboard and those are closer.

SOUND QUALITY

So the slap! never seen a combination of pedals and sound quality and versatility! it's simple, you can find absolutely any kind of distorted sounds with the pedals, it is therefore all the styles!

the sound quality is generally excellent. I played in on a Line 6 DM4 (simulating distos 16 types), and although there's no photo: sound quality for a wide suprieure the Jekyll / Hyde can find absolutely all types of distos, the blues to metal.

sr well, the channel is more soft Jekyll (requires overdrive), but the crunch of the same dlivrs allow all of the records accder blues / rock / hard aisment 70's. by lowering the drive, it is used as a boost. For my part, I do not use the bass boost dj playing with a lot of bass with the legalization of my amp.

Hyde canal, the effect of compression provides a surplus of PCHE and precision apprciables. And if you push the knob EQ donf, you enter the ground floor in the world of metal. Playing with the knob, you get all the distortion of the history of rock. gnial. However, with the gain pushed del half the effect tends to lose precision, neatness and cleanliness.

I use a Gibson Les Paul Standard and a strat us, and in both cases, the ball, the CHARACTERISTICS of each of the remaining guitars put forward on both the cleanliness of the pedals .

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months, and I'm not the slap! much cleaner than my DM4 numrique at its most garish and imprcis (and cold) with a HUGE sustain a PCHE and a reserve of huge gains, the pedals will fill any forcment what guitar whatever style (in my case, post rock, blues rock psych ...).

I felt my dpart on the overdrive lamp (H & K tube factor, vox duel overdrive, Tonebone classic ...) and opportunism has Submitted (via AF) of the pedals Toper .

Report quality price (I got it secondhand 125 euros) because we have two pedals in one. possder, the only small default in the RSID hypersensibilit of knobs and a loss of precision DEFINITIONS and the channel gain del hyde in 12 hours.
