Re: Still looking at overdrives - Jekyll and Hyde V3
+1 on the Fulldrive 2. It is switchable from boost to flat mids to boosted mids sound. The high end can be rolled off and the bass is still there. And it sounds great in all of my, three of them, amps.
Am currently trying a Jekyll and Hyde V3. I didn't like the V1 or V2 versions. This is a step forward. It can be used as two separate pedals - OD and distortion separately with their own inputs and outputs, OD into distortion, and distortion into OD. When using either the OD or the distortion alone, it is responsive to pick attack. Then stacking, this pedal gains up quickly [my wording sucks!]. I have not spent enough time with the sides stacked to become really comfortable with them high gain mode yet.
The OD seems to have flat mids [I'm borrowing a term from the Full Drive 2 for one of its settings] to me. It includes a wet / dry mix and does a good clean boost. The distortion side has two voices A and B. The A voice reminds me of why I didn't like the V1 or V2 versions.
This might not be the best place to put my opinion - hate speaking up about this, I aint no reviewer. Only bringing it up cause this is an OD discussion.
The B voice seems like on old friend. To make a long story short, I went thorough the instruction sheet and suggested settings. It sounds much better than what was posted on the first youtube videos. The distortion side dials down into the top of the OD range. So I am currently using the distortion side and into the OD side as a boost. Sorry, I cant post sound clips.
Played the suggested settings. Some of them were plain and needed some adjusting, and other jumped right out and grabbed me. Yes, I'd suggest this pedal despite the higher price.
