The right channel has pronounced mids without being honky. In addition to Drive, Tone, and Volume knobs, it also has a 3-way Clipping (diodes) switch, a 3-way Bass switch, and a Clean Mix knob. The left channel also has Drive, Tone and Volume knobs, along with a Bass knob, but with flat mids, making it sound very amp-like. The VS-XO is a tone-experimenter’s dream pedal. The sound options are nearly endless.

On top of that, the VS-XO is the first Visual Sound pedal to incorporate True-Bypass. Bob Weil invented foot-switches which look traditional, but interact with gold-plated relays, and will last forever. RG Keen invented a circuit to keep them quiet. You also have the choice of internally switching the Pure Tone buffer on or off with each channel.

If you use a switching system or want to change the order of effects, no problem… separate Ins and Outs allow for that. If you just want to plug one cable in and one out normally, you can do that too. And since they didn’t skimp on anything having to do with reliability, the VS-XO is covered by the Visual Sound Lifetime Warranty.

No Battery power, power supply only, which is not included. You may think that's a bit harsh, but the Visual Sounds guys think that most people have a multiple power supply setup or already possess a power supply that will do the job. Also it gets round the "different countries have different power outlet styles". Our recommendation is the One spot power supply.

We have a video link from Visual Sound , demonstrating the V3XO. It's a bit long, but certainly goes through all the options which this fantastic pedal is capable of.....
