Truetone V3 H2O Liquid Chorus & Echo

General

The critically acclaimed True (previously Visual Sound) H2O Liquid Chorus & Echo V3 is the third iteration of what's considered one of the best duo pedals on the market. This refreshed effects pedal features fully analogue chorus based on genuine Bucket Brigade circuitry, combined with analogue-digital delay. As if that wasn't enough, everything has been housed inside a compact metal box of unprecedented durability. What's more, compared to the V2 model, the built-in effects of the new H2O Liquid Chorus & Echo can now be used 100% independent from each other.

The H2O V3: Two-In-One

The H2O V3 essentially includes two fully-fledged pedals in a single housing, with individual inputs and outputs for each of the channels fitted to the back. Your electric or acoustic guitar or bass can, for example, be plugged into the chorus input while the signal is sent directly to the echo input. You're also free to reverse the signal path or place any other effects in between. In addition, it's worth mentioning that this Truetone stompbox offers a better pedalboard fit than its predecessors, thanks to the rectangular housing and easily accessible footswitches.

Fully Topped Off

The all-new H2O is more versatile than ever before. The exceptionally warm sounding chorus effects can be extensively tweaked using not just the familiar Speed, Width and Depth controls, but the Tone knob (chorus brightness) and Chorus/Vibrato control. The latter lets you partially or fully filter out the original guitar sound to create room for a vibrato effect and, next to using one of three different intensity settings, the chorus effect can be sent flowing into any tonal direction using the Detune switch.

• In 2015, Visual Sound changed its name to Truetone. As such, the cable you receive may still bear the name Visual Sound.
