With 3 modes to use, making it ideal for a live scenario, the Jekyll & Hyde has really proved its worth this summer. It's been my main weapon and tool for all rehearsal and live use. Having played it through several amps; hybrid and tube amps; the pedal seemed to react extremely well and make itself adaptable to most scenario. With independent controls for both the overdrive and distortion settings the pedal brings freedom and a range of sounds, exactly what I needed. The third function is the capability to combine the sounds and create a thicker distortion or use the overdrive side as a boost to your solos.
The HYDE, (distortion) is can be set to thick and fuzzy by adjusting the gain and 'sharp/blunt' switch, or crunchy, think of the Van Halen or JCM 800 sound.
Where as the Jekyll (overdrive) is pretty much a replica of the loved Tubescreamer with the added bonus of adding a 'bass boost' to thicken things up even more.
Furthermore the tone on this pedal is great. Not a tube amp, let's get that straight, but extremely close. For £120 the Jekyll & Hyde is one of the best if not best dual overdrive pedal I have ever come across. The bypass function is also excellent and it's not a tone sucker.
