V2 Route 66
In 1999, Visual Sound made the statement “Our Route 66 is sure to become as legendary as its namesake.” With the Kings of Leon and countless great guitarists using it ever since, the Route 66 from Visual Sound has become just that… a legend! Now the all new V2 Series Route 66 gives the same great tone guitarists have come to love, plus an added noise reduction system that gives you that quiet ride you’ve always wanted. Classic compression combined with Classic Overdrive - these two effects sound great on their own, but combine them together and get the ultimate compliment to one another in one pedal. New housing, new stomp switches designed by Bob Weil himself -- and an all-new, noise-free experience -- this version of the Route 66 has raised the bar for years to come.
Works great on bass too!
Dimensions: 5" x 6" (126 x 153mm)
Current Draw: 15-24mA
Note: All dimensions are approximate maximum dimensions. Current draw is shown from bypass to channel(s) on.

A David and Goliath story....
I emailed you some months ago regarding a replacement casing for my Route 66 which was destroyed by a truck backing over my pedalboard at loadout after a gig, the circuit still worked...
Anyway I bought a new V2 Route 66 and couldn't be happier, same great sound, and the noise reduction is brilliant.
Last Saturday I was playing a gig in North London, there were two other bands on the bill. All bands were using the house backline (the guitar amp was a Marshall JTM 45 reissue through a 2 by 12 cabinet).
One guitarist was using a 'Timmy', the other a 'Klon Centaur', I was was using my Route 66.
I was standing at the bar at the end of the evening with both players, and the house soundguy came up and complemented me on my overdrive sound, its responsiveness and character.
The next day I was in Denmark Street checking out the guitar shops when I ran into one of the players from the previous night. Guess what....he had just purchased a Route 66!!!!
Just want to congratulate you on your company's products and your customer service.
Dale.
PS: The Route 66 is the best unit I have used, and I have been through most of the boutique, 'corksniffing' units.
I love the fact that I have a great sounding, reliable piece of gear which is free of white noise. Also the fact that I can replace the unit in an emergency so readily is a bonus. Who wants to go on a waiting list for up to a year for a replacement pedal due to either theft or damage?
Of say the top five players living in my area, four are using the Route 66. These include blues, rock, alternative and jazz players. Two guys bought the unit after trying mine - it's that good.
The pedal is a real sleeper. It may not have the hype of some pedals mentioned in the online forums, but the amount of times I've seen it on pedalboards in the real world, used by real working musicians is testament to its enduring quality of sound and performance.

NEW KNOBS (and switches)! A lot of musicians told us that the knobs on the V2 Series pedals were hard to read on stage. So, we've gotten knobs specially made for us that look great and are easy to read even in harsh or low light situations on stage. We're gradually phasing these in on all the V2 Series pedals. Also, the rocker switches that we've used for years for things like Bass Boost, etc., did not meet our standards for reliability. So, we changed them as well, using very reliable slide switches. Here's the new look:
