new Visual Sound pedals

For anyone interested i just found pictures of the new VS pedals:

Double Trouble: NEW! Visual Sound's interpretation of the TS-808 (with bass boost and lots more volume), times 2! Use either overdrive by itself or combine them!



An updated version of the original Visual Sound H20. Normal/Lush switch added on Chorus channel. Same great chorus and echo tones that H20 is famous for.



An updated version of the original Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde. New noise reduction and improved Mid control on Hyde channel. Additional low-drive range on Jekyll channel. Same great overdrive and distortion tones that Jekyll & Hyde is famous for.



An updated version of the original Visual Sound Route 66 American Overdrive. New noise reduction on compressor channel. Additional low-drive range on overdrive channel. Same great compression and overdrive tones that Route 66 is famous for.



VS Angry Fuzz - NEW! A brand new effect unlike any fuzz pedal you've heard. Blend in an octave up with the Anger Level knob and get crazy low octave overtones to boot! Octave tracking is flawless even with the fastest shredding imaginable.



Comp 66 - NEW! The compressor channel from the Route 66 in a single pedal!



Liquid Chorus - NEW!! The chorus channel of the new H20 in a single pedal, with an added Depth knob. Also has 2 outputs, normal and inverted, for running in stereo.



Route 808 - NEW! One channel of Double Trouble in a single pedal. Visual Sound's interpretation of the TS-808 (with bass boost and lots more volume.



Son of Hyde - NEW! The Hyde distortion channel from the new Jekyll & Hyde in a single pedal.



I'm going to have to try out the Double Trouble, i think it would be pretty good idea having one pedal with 2 TS808's in there to EQ however you want.

Very nice, but I don't like the design of the new cases.

That fuzz sounds pretty cool, and the single pedal double trouble, I don't need 2 TS808's.

But the pictures aren't working for me

the H2O is a pretty good deal for a delay+analog chorus

I've tried the dual Tubescreamer thing and didn't really like it, even if its worked for players like Trey Anastasio or Stevie Ray Vaughan. It seemed to overemphasise itself too much. One tubescreamer gave me all the boost I needed. And running it over the clean channel I still couldn't get a good lead sound going (a pretty good crunchy rhythm though)

Those new cases look horrible.
From the pictures, it looks like the footswitches are a bit dodgy...

Hmm, maybe Billy Hyde will have a sale on the older pedals....

so are the old ones being discontinued? I was planning on buying the Route 66, but now it might be too expensive if they raise the prices.

These look cool, but I'm always sceptical when companies reissue old pedals, its as if they're awknowledging there was something that needed fixing on the old ones, maybe thats really cynical. Big fan of the original Route 66, but Ill wait and try the new one before buying it.

The new cases looks awful, although I might buy me a son of hyde since I thought that I needed a compressor more than distortion when I originally got mine.

+1 I don't think they look good at all.

Though that fuzz looks interesting.

It's a shame the new cases look like cockcrap, because they've got some neat ideas and I'd love to hear the improved versions of their old pedals.
