General
Since the dawn of USA-based pedal-gurus, TrueTone (formerly Visual Sound), the Route 66 has been their flagship model. Thanks to a sophisticated blend of TS-style overdrive and classic compression, the original 66 quickly became a legend of the guitar-verse. In the V3, you're looking at a completely reworked design, so you still get the same level of quality when it comes to both the overdrive and the compression, but you also get a fistful of tasty extras on the side.
The TrueTone Route 66 V3: What's New?
In response to user suggestions, TrueTone has reverted back to traditional footswiches - which can be set up in true-bypass of buffered-bypass mode as preferred. Internally, the Route 66 V3 is essentially two separate pedals and now, you can even re-route the signal path to send it through the compressor via the overdrive. But, when it comes to the fresh features, that's really just the beginning.
Extra Control
One of the things that made the OG Route 66 so loved was the bass-boost function of the overdrive circuit. With the third edition, this has been further refined and can now be smoothly adjusted rather than just switched on and off. Both channels have a dedicated Mix pot to you're able to blend the dry-and-wet mix to taste and, while you used to have to activate the noise gate via an internal dip-switch, you now get an On/Off gate slide-switch mounted on the main control panel, making it far easier to shift up into more extreme settings. Basically, in the tight form of the Route 66 V3, you're getting all of the flavour of the all-powerful first-gen model, plus plenty more.
Tips or comments about this product- In 2015, Visual Sound changed its name to Truetone. As such, the pedal you receive may still bear the name Visual Sound.

Wrote the following about Truetone Route 66 V3 Effect Pedal
Vantevoren had ik veel video's gekeken om een indruk te krijgen, maar om er dan uiteindelijk zelf mee te experimenten is het leukste!
Het pedaal zelf en de knoppen voelen stevig aan. Verder is alles op het pedaal goed leesbaar.
Het leuke aan dit pedaal is dat het eigenlijk 2 pedalen in 1 is, zo kun je deze 2 effecten direct na elkaar gebruik maar ook andere effecten tussen de compressor en overdrive plaatsen.
De beste eigenschap van dit pedaal vind ik de clean-mix knop, hierdoor behoud je je dynamiek en clean tone bij het spelen, maar krijg je deze gecombineerd met het effect. Vooral bij het gebruik van de compressor is dit erg handig, zo behoud je je clean tone maar heb je toch meer sustain.
Al met al, zeer tevreden over dit pedaal (en ook altijd over de levering van bax-shop uiteraard)!
Zeker het geld waard

Questo pedale e composto da un o.d. in stile 808, con più spinta sui medi X sound stile American, mentre dall'altra parte abbiamo un bel compressore stile MxR comp, ma con 3 settaggi comp volume tono, in più ha gate X ridurre il rumore di fondo..... Che dire utilizzabile anche separatamente con una spesa hai 2 effetti in diverse caratteristiche e settaggi X il proprio sound, mi sento di consigliarlo.....
