JOYO Dual Crunch Pure Analog Circuit Overdrive Effect Pedal with Independent Clipping for Electric Guitar - True Bypass (King of Kings R-20)

The media could not be loaded. Not a bad pedal you know... I'd heard good things and it delivered.Context-- I'm a signed pro musician as of recently with a big group in the USA, and so recieved an advance to upgrade my kit, blessed, truly, God is good right?Five stars because I'm a pedal snob and to me it's a four star pedal but, because of its cost, and who it appeals to, it's a five star sound for that budget.It doesn't sound like an EVH overdrive pedal, or a BOSS (though tbf I prefer the tone of this to the boss sd1) - decent noise control too. I actuslly have a strong dislike for the BOSS SD1. It SUCKS . That's for another review though lol....It's constructed well and you've got to be rediculous if you're able to break these. You're not gona break it using it like a normal person lol. At all.It's easy to use, light weight not too big for your board or bag.It's a great back up pedal or for those on a budget, I just tried it out of curiosity and played live with it for the memes, I attached a short clip of it set low to pick up my sound live for y'all.Since my signing, I now use the EVH 5150 OD, then strymons, mxr, zvex etc, like I said, I'm a pedal snob because now I can be lol, thank you God! I also own a quad cortex for convenience and traveling with.But there's more and more "budget" kit comming out that's honestly holding its own amongst these big expensive brands... This is one of them. Stacks well too!The color, I mean, tbh I don't think it looks like that typical cheap tacky "budget" pedal and has that vintage look to it.. I like it. Looked pretty on my board lol. Not that anyone else can see nor cares.. LmaoI'd totally encourage you to go for it if your finances allow for this type of pedal. Try it. If you don't like it, return it... Thanks to Amazon's free returns! Jst don't wreck it playing Rockstar lmao.I feel it's quite versatile too, I got a few decent tones out of it, and you'll find the type of guitar you use with this also plays a big part in your tone from this pedal. I'd recommend it to tele players for sure.Have a listen to my clip see what you think, it's just with a strymon big sky reverb and a strymon timeline, that's it, eveything else you hear tone wise is from the pedal and guirar. And a ruby Amp mod lol....FYI the guitar I'm using here is another "budget" guitar, the hartwood semi acoustic hallow body with whammy, it's beautiful and sounds awesome, the whammy is brill and it barely drops out of tune too! I was smashing that whammy loads and it didn't go out of tune! It has a thick les Paul sound on them pick ups up to my surprise! High on the the lows, low on the highs! Beefy pickups for sure. Might want an eq if you like mids and highs up like me.Enjoy playing and keep learning guys and girls!... I said it...happy Easter and remember Jesus is the reason for the season! RnfnR

Very happy with this compressor pedal,the build quality it great & it looks fantastic.The led light is a great visual aid too that helps with the functionality.No atmospheric noise and sound quality is great.works exactly as described & I think it's great value for money.I would definitely recommend this product if you are looking for a great sounding compressor pedal at a reasonable price.A*

Stopped working after 11 months of home use.UPDATE - my wife managed to message Joyo and they have kindly arranged for a replacement. I've changed my review to 4 stars now. Only loses 1 star for their difficult website communication.This pedal is very good, particularly at this price point. The trouble is that it recently stopped working. I looked at my order details and it's just over 11 months since purchase. Amazon offer nothing but a link to the sellers website. Once there you add some information about your device and the issue but to send it off you have to 'copy' a code - to presumably prove that you are human. Well, I tried, my wife tried and my son tried but none of us could copy the codes because they all had at least one 'o' or was it 'O' or was it '0' ? It's almost Impossible to let them know that the pedal is faulty. Such a shame!

Great sound from this pedal. Does everything I want. Clear crunchy from my single coils and deep distortion from my humbuckers.

Let's get the first thing out of the way. This isn't just a "metal" pedal, you can easily get great blues, hard rock, and metal sounds out of it. It's very flexible and definitely the best individual od/distortion/etc pedal I now own. It's not even close.I am an AxeFX 3 owner, and I was looking for something small, immediate, kind of tactile thing to take me away from the complexity and menu diving for a bit. Just to play with something simple and focused, get some inspiration that I can take back to Fractal land, and I wasn't disappointed.There isn't a bad sound in this thing, as I sit here and write this, I'm quite frankly blown away. The controls are simple, something worth mentioning is that the "fat boost" button is a kind of "saturator" when engaged adds awesome saturation to the sound. The "output mode" knob use is clear and offers a continuum of delicious sounds for their given uses. Everything else is pretty obvious.So far, I plug it into my fractal, add a bit of reverb and that's it, straight out of the monitors and it sounds awesome. Obviously this will get lots of usage.From the YouTube reviews I could see Joyo pedals were worth trying and the prices won't break the bank, so I decided to try a few - three so far. From what I can see (my experiences and various sound reviews) this one is probably their best pedal, and if I'm wrong I'll be glad to be.If you play guitar and are looking for any kind of drive/distortion pedal, buy this one! I can't imagine any guitar player that would be disappointed with it. Joyo should create different versions of this pedal style focused on various od/distortion flavours.Sometimes when adverts say something is for a particular application, other people can miss out on the experiences that it can bring to them. If you play heavy music you'll love this pedal, but if you play blues, indie, hard rock, or whatever you'll also love it. Buy it and have fun!
