I bought my daughter a Jekyll & Hyde pedal for her 16th birthday. I got it from Music Park here in Perth. We tried many pedals before settling on your product. Sarah has been playing for 18 months and decided she needed to add some “grunt” to her sound as she is playing in a three piece band. She plays mostly rock and classic rock and her Jekyll & Hyde has certainly done the job. Sarah knew the sound she was looking for and it only took 10min to nail it. It’s a great product, and an excellent value. You can’t ask for anything more. As you are a family man, Bob, I’m sure you can appreciate the importance of encouraging your kids to pursue their dreams. Jekyll & Hyde has given Sarah a real kick along as far as her playing is concerned. Thanks so much.

Hope all is well in Spring Hill! I came across a discussion and demos of the VS-XO by Thurston Ford on the Telecaster Discussion Page (TDPRI). After checking out the specs and additional videos on your website, I had my dealer here in Memphis, Martin Music order the pedal for me. I have to tell you it is a home run. I have never come across a dual pedal that did not have a compromise somewhere. The VS-XO is everything I hoped it would be. Two very useful channels, useful features, low noise floor and most of all–very useful tones. I especially like the fact that you can run both sides together and still get useful sounds. Keep up the good work.

Hi Bob…
We have now had the chance to try out the pedal; and so far the vote is overwhelmingly “WOW”! I had two hours with them yesterday and found the H20 to be extremely deep and lush. I was blown away by the multiplicity of possible CRUNCH/OVERDRIVE options on the Jekyll & Hyde. The overtones are fantastic. They were introduced at the GIT “EFX” class this morning and were demo’d for about 45 students. They are now very much in-demand for check-out in our library at GIT. Bottom line… THEY’RE GREAT!

I’ve just returned from a tour of duty in Iraq. I’m a musician and I really like your products. I even had one of your 1-SPOT’s with me in Iraq. Like me, it survived also. It was going thru a 220 converter that you have to run everything thru over there. Though it was pretty beat up, it made it.

…by the way the Jekyll and Hyde is great!! I kept the TS’s on the board. The J&H sounds ‘different’, and I like that. Played with a Strat, into a Fender Blues Deville 4 x 10, it can get downright scary. I think this is the most versatile OD/Dist pedal I’ve ever encountered. They seem to be lumped in the “workingman’s” class, but I believe they can hold their own with Menatone, Maxon, and other “boutique” OD/Distortion pedals, and that’s where the comparison should be.

Bob and R.G.,
Does RG Keen get the Wow Award factor for the Truetone’s monster clean? I put my Truetone at the front end of a Blues Jr -pushing really hard (A1 – 5751) and keeping the power amp master volume turned way down (highest gain on PreAmp available – but holding back the distortion through reduced Master volume). ——-the results were an enormous thick creamy tube sound..with..Lots of interesting dynamics leaping from the AMP…… What is happening there?
Is this a deep saturation of the plates? It isn’t distorted – but deeply rich!
Thanks Truetone!

Truetone Rocks! I called yesterday with a question about my new 1 Spot and imagine my surprise when the phone was immediately answered by a real human being! What? No jumping through hoops of endless “for this press one, for that press two, for something else please hold” None of that with you guys! The gentleman that took my call had my problem solved within less than a minute! I was in so much of a state of shock that I forgot to ask his name! But anyway…thanks again! It’s so refreshing to deal with people that really take care of business and actually know about their products! The only way that you could possibly do any better would be if you could talk my wife into getting me a Route 808 for my birthday…but I don’t suppose you work miracles…or do you? Seriously though thanks so much for your help. I will recommend Truetone  to everyone.

Dear Mr. Weil,
I am the proud owner of your Jekyll & Hyde pedal for a couple of days now and couldn’t be happier with the sound it produces. My friend bought it in Germany and brought it to me. If you ever make a Fuzz pedal, I’ll buy it immediately. Until then… my setup is now complete and I’m happy! Oh yes, the 1 SPOT works flawlessly, too.

I recently researched and purchased my first two Truetone pedals, the H20 and the Route 66. They are the best pedals I’ve ever owned. Not only is the craftsmanship superb, the sound is even better. Each pair of effects compliments each other. Because of your love and dedication to music (and a lot of hard work), the guitar community is greatly benefiting. Thank you. If only other music companies had the same commitment to quality and customer service as you… If you haven’t guessed… I’m a Truetone Fan! Thanks for everything.

I really love the Jekyll & Hyde a lot! Thanks for spending time with me the other day and replacing my 1-SPOT! I also really enjoyed test driving the new pedals and amps. You’ve got yourself some real winners on your hands. Very cool.

– Brent Wilson (on tour w/Andy Griggs)

Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful pedal the Jekyll and Hyde is. I’ve used it now for quite a number of years and almost feel proud to have used it before you guys got so well known. My buddy at church just purchased a Jekyll and Hyde, as well. Many people like to comment on my pedal and how they’d like to “slide into home plate”. Guess it is shaped like home plate, huh? Anyways, I love the tone, the buffered bypass, the
versatility, and the ease and durability! It’s lasted me a good 4-5 years now! Works great for when I’m helping out with worship music.

I purchased your Jekyll & Hyde pedal not long ago, and I have to tell you, you guys did an outstanding job creating this “box ‘o tone”! I have gone through different amps and many stomp boxes looking for both the perfect overdrive and the oh-so-right distortion… and this pedal NAILS both square in the face! I can get anything from a channel boost without tonal change, to mellow jazz, ballsy blues, and distortion that make most pedals run away. All in all, it’s the best pedal of its kind I’ve ever had the joy of experiencing. You also seem to have kept in the “working man’s” budget. For the money I paid I would have gotten one pedal and a pack of strings… if I were lucky.

Hi Bob,
You never cease to amaze me with your customer service/support. Business schools should study you when teaching students how to run a business. I can’t tell you how glad I am that I bought your pedals. I will continue to buy whatever you put out. Thanks for everything.
