User questions & answers

Question:	Is it made in japan? i had this pedal in the 90s, now I want it back to my pedal board. Just curious about how well are they made now
Answer:	Hi, The pedal is made in Taiwan. I have only used it 5-6 times so far. It can dial up a good "Rush" "Limelight" distorted sound. Based on the higher cost of this pedal compared to cheaper competitors and past performance of Boss pedals (I own a Boss Flanger circa 1983 and it still works fine) I would guess that this pedal will perform well over time. Good luck.
Question:	Does it come with an ac adapter cord
Answer:	No, it's just the pedal in the box... The ac adapter is apart...
Question:	does the boss os-2 take a battery instead of the ac adapter
Answer:	Yes the os-2 does accept a 9 volt battery in place of the recommended adapter. Also, most other stomp box 9 volt adapters work just fine with this pedal if you have any extras but beware, using a different adapter from the one recommend by boss may result in voiding the os-2's warranty. So far I have found the os-2 to be a very versatile pedal and recommend it if you are looking to add a little color to your tone.
Question:	Can the os-2 pedal also be used with a bass guitar
Answer:	Bass does better with pedals that have a blend knob to preserve some dry signal because drive and distortion pedals tend to bleed lower frequencies.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it require to be plugged to a power source to function or it works wireless
Answer:	This pedal can be used with a 9V battery and has great battery life. I've used my pedal on and off for around 3 years already and haven't changed the battery once. If by wireless you mean you don't need to plug your guitar in, then you need to use a wireless signal system, which can be a lot more expensive.
Question:	Can I use this with a bass guitar
Answer:	Yes you can. Even though the effect has been designed for guitar, most guitar pedals are transparent enough to take any signal path
Question:	Which would be better? overdrive/distortion pedal or vintage overdrive? ...(off course from behringer
Answer:	That depends on the tone that you're looking for. A vintage overdrive pedal would be great for a classic rock, bluesy sort of tone, that the behringer od300 really won't get. On the other hand, if you want to diversify yourself more and get distortion too, this pedal isint too bad for the buck. While it's not the heaviest most brutal pedal, or the greatest overdrive (I prefer the sd) it's a great starter pedal if you want both an overdrive and distortion in one. :)
Question:	Should I buy this new or should I save a few bucks and get it for very good condition
Answer:	I have owned several each of Behringer, Danelectro, Joyo, Boss, Digitech, and TC Electronics pedals. The Behringer pedals are surprisingly good sounding in come cases and very functional generally. That said, the slightly more costly pedals are definitely better in all ways. Behringer is very much plastic construction. The black foot pedal cover is simply/cheaply glued on and comes off easily, the knobs are somewhat effective but very sticky in many cases and hard to work with. Joyo is a nice step up and they have some nice pedals available even if not high quality. If you really just want ONE really good pedal look at Boss, EHX, or MXR and spend $40-$100. If this is your first pedal just go for it and expect that you'll want an upgrade inside of a year if you play very much.I will say this...this pedal was not half bad for sound. it does both an overdrive sound and a distortion sound giving some variety to the tones. But...it's O/D is nothing close to a Boss SD1 and it's distortion isn't close to a Boss DS1. You do get what you pay for. The Boss pedals can be had for a bout $30-35 used/new in places.I recommend listening to a lot of pedals on youtube and reading up on what your favorite players use. read this blog - http://www.effectsbay.com/don't feel pressure to spend over $100 on any pedal soon unless your gigging and getting paid for it. If you are it's worth the money to get your sound right. If you're not, you are still in that investigative stage and learning. Over the last 3 years I've spent at least $2500 on pedals and learned a ton...the big takeaway is to plan carefully, listen, read, get friends(more experienced ones) advice, invest carefully, and don't go hog-wild over it. Most of us non-pro types don't need one of every kind of pedal. Buy one at a time and get the best quality you can afford. Danelectro Fabtone, Behringer, Joyo, Biyang, ENO, Neewer and others are often cheaper knockoffs of other brands but with cheaper components and plastic chassis. Personally, if i wanted to get a od/dist pedal, i'd skip it and get a used SD1 and DS1....and I'm not really a Boss advocate...but that's in your price range. They're tough, sound decent, and last. Lot's of pro's have used them over the years. Proven quality. Good luck!PS - skip using batteries and get a 9v power supply.

Product description

Add a double dose of distortion to your pedalboard with the Truetone Jekyll and Hyde V3 Overdrive and Distortion pedal. The Jekyll channel is based on the Open Road pedal, but adds a Bass knob and a Clean Mix control for finding the perfect mix of grit. Hyde is far more than an amplified version of Jekyll, sporting heavier distortion and more bottom end. The flexible tone sculpting of the Bright and Voice switches make this pedal the perfect Swiss Army knife for your rig. From Blues to Metal and everything in between, Truetone's Jekyll and Hyde V3 delivers.

• 2-channel Overdrive/Disttion Pedal with Defeatable Pure Tone Buffer Noise Gate
• Configuration Options f Each Channel
• Independent Controls
• True Bypass
• I/O

Product description

Bob Weil and Visual Sound first introduced the Jekyll & Hyde pedal to the world in 1997. It was the first true dual effect pedal for guitar players, ever. It was an immediate hit and the rest, as they say, is history. Visual Sound is now TRUETONE, and the new V3 Series Jekyll & Hyde has been re-designed from scratch by Weil and RG Keen to meet the demands of today's players. With more flexibility, more great tones, and better construction than any of its predecessors, you're going to love this new incarnation of a historically great pedal.

• Each channel can be set to either True Bypass mode or buffered, via internal switches. The buffered mode utilizes our legendary Pure Tone circuit.
• Features the custom designed Forever Footswitch rated for 10 million hits. This interacts with relays having gold-plated contacts.
• Lifetime Warranty... even for second or third owners.
• Separate inputs and outputs so each side of the pedal can be used in a loop device, or midi switcher. Also possible to reverse the order of effects with a patch cable. Just like having 2 pedals, but in 1 housing.
• Small, pedal board friendly size, with front mounted jacks. Smaller footprint than 2 MXR or similar sized pedals.
