Tennessee-based Visual Sound stirred up a lot of interest (and controversy?) earlier this year when the company put together an overdrive shootout tossing some of its offerings into a mix of very high-end boutique drives in a sort of blind taste test with a studio audience. The results of the test were… interesting. The performance of the Visual Sound pedals in the shootout reminded us that we had been pursuing getting a couple of the company’s overdrive offerings into our shop for review. When we touched base with Visual Sound recently they sent us the latest in their V2 line – the new Open Road drive and Vans Warped Distortion.
