I love the Fuzz alot, the Octave part is fair, I love the mid/normal switch

The pedal is dead simple and the high/low frequency cut is a nice switch to have

Well, first off, the switches on this footpedal are mislabeled

It also has a somewhat subtle octave button as well as a bypass switch

The six switches available are the 3 EQ switches for Low, Mid, and High, a volume level switch, gain drive switch, and a voice (treble) switch

Personally, this pedal played with my mustang V solid state amp just make it sound unbelievably good

I have it at the end of my signal chain to "warm up" my solid state amp

I have a solid state Fender amp (Champion 100W) with on board modelling

I get comments about my tone all the time, and most people can't believe I'm using a solid state amp with a chinese made tube modeling pedal

I place my jekyll & hyde overdrive in front of this pedal to boost it, also my ibanez ts-7.I've tried using this pedal as an overdrive with my amps, I used a solid state amp and the blues

Also, these have two capacitors on the PCB which were soldered backwards (their polarities are reversed) and if you take the time to switch them around you'll get a much better effect

The JF-12 fulfilled the purpose with relatively clean boost, decent overdrive, great fuzz, and a reasonable octave generator effect

If you are looking to get a good octavix/Octavia type effect in this pedal, you may want to reconsider(MHO)...

For the price, this guy puts out a pretty good range of fuzz, and the octave up effect is decent for high and high-mid ranges

I tested the sound with a Yamaha nylon silent guitar, directly plugged into my recording interface, which probably isn't what most people would use, but I hope that the effect is nevertheless easy to gauge by ear as I go through different settings in my video

so it takes some tweaking to dial in the desired sound, but I achieved a super clean, rich, full, tube sound

There are some A/B blind test on you tube and is really hard to tell what is what

I have a number of Class A tube

I have a nice tube amp, but I needed a way to plug in direct to a PA system

this thing is freaking awesome its my favorite pedal right now and the price is a steal.

This thing is killer

But the nice thing about the Joyo American is that it probably cleans up better than any other other sound pedals.

This thing sucks it doesnt even work it makes barely any difference in sound with my

Monsterfuzzer is this thing fuzzy

When I want dirt, this pedal fills the bill so I can roll from a dirty Fender tone to a crunchier not quite Marshall tone

It's currently my "dirty" clean Fender tone with the Joyo AC Tone covering my harder-driving stuff

This pedal is a great fender sound for going direct to the board

If you like classic Fender tones, especially cleans, you'll love the Joyo American Sound.

Just like having one of the most expensive Fender amps

I've also ran it into the clean channel of a Marshall amp with decent results

I used this with my 5 string bass and split the high channel thru to this (using a pair of EQs).

I use this into the clean channel which I think sounded just fine before.

It works well as everything from the clean channel (gain all the way down, level all the way up) to about 4 o'clock on the Drive knob

This pedal makes my somewhat lackluster clean channel on a red stripe Peavey Rage respectable for low volume play

Great tone, very adjustable, multiple sounds in one pedal.

The overall tone was lacking, I sent this pedal back for a refund.

You can manipulate the tone and fuzz with the knobs which is nice

It keeps the stage quiet, and gives me just about the same great tone I get out of my amp.

I love stacking this on top of the Big Muff Pi to create this massively loud fuzz tone

This pedal actually makes that cheap amp sound good enough to record or play live with

The amp sounds awful with just a overdrive or distortion pedal or compression pedal in front

I get comments about my tone all the time, and most people can't believe I'm using a solid state amp with a chinese made tube modeling pedal

I would certainly use this as a direct to PA and as a compact backup for a failed amp scenario.

Just didn't sound good to the ear and was about to trash the amp

The prices were a lot cheaper at Christmas on all of theses Joyo pedals.

I am very pleased and surprised with their products for such a reasonable price.

this thing is freaking awesome its my favorite pedal right now and the price is a steal.

I bought this based on the positive reviews and low price.

All is in all, this pedal does what it is supposed to and does it well, and the price is right

Does a good job if making my telecaster sound better straight to my BOSE T1 and

The pedal does an excellent job at modeling the classic Fender tweeds

Well, Still of little to no use for PA or direct to computer use, or when the amp has a "hifi" quality aux input ..such as many bass amps, however...the eq and drive does a decent job of emulating that fender clean tone/mild breakup when run through a good clean channel of another guitar

It is supposed to mimic the sound of a late 50's fender amp and I think it does a great job

There are some A/B blind test on you tube and is really hard to tell what is what

The octave up setting doesn't sound as bad as the fuzz, however it still leaves something to be desired

I think this would make a great first time fuzz pedal for anyone

The fuzz sounds very good, though, thick and with good sustain

It has no usable sounds, the fuzz is horrendous, and the octave effect is the worst excuse for an octave I've ever heard

It sounds as good as any fuzz that I've paid $100-$200 for

My only gripe would be that the footswith could feel of better quality however everything works as it should

Don't know yet how it works as it did not come with a cord....

I've used it in front of solid-state and tube amps alike, as well as in a direct recording setup, and have been pleased with my tone in every instance

Great toneTHe fuzz on this is alrightThe octave switch is useful for getting interesting effects and for creating a dirtier soundThe mid cut is nice to havecons:lots of noise from the pedalthe pedal has horrible feedback, worse than when I am using a blues driver and a standard distortion pedal at the same timeThis pedal is good if you like getting lots of feedback (my band actually uses this to get feedback to end/begin some songs haha

This is the second one ive bought cause i love it so much the switch is a bit unreliable though

The control it gives me is pretty awesome, and I can go from clean (though a bit sterile) to gritty and thick with a quick turn of the drive knob

(as you turn it clock wise) - I like it for adding charcater/punch to my live

Killer Fuzz ,great for harsher tony iommi fuzz and such, but a bit too harsh for certain lighter Gilmour,Jimmy Page esque tones
