Visual Sounds Changes Its Name To TrueTone

Not too long ago it was brought to my attention that Visual Sound, the makers of the One Spot power supply and Jekylle and Hyde Pedal, have changed their name to True Tone. Premier Guitar posted a interview with founder, Bob Weil. He had this to say:

“The name of the company was derived from the first product I invented, Visual Volume; the volume pedal with a 10 LED scale to indicate volume level. That was the product that launched Visual Sound at the beginning of 1995. While Visual Volume was the cornerstone of the company back then, it became a secondary product over the past 20-years. Now, we are best known for our effects pedals, including Jekyll & Hyde, Route 66 and H2O. In addition, our 1 SPOT power supplies and accessories have become the industry standard. Our company motto has always been Real Tone for Real People, which underscores our approach to making reliable, high-quality products, at a fair price. With this in mind, we feel that our new name, Truetone, clearly states our vision in one word.”

This comes right before the roll out of Version three of the line of pedals. It looks like they are revamping every pedal. The Jekyll and Hyde looks closer to the VS-XO pedal we saw come out recently. Exciting things are coming from this company. Whatever they are call...
