    A1841 Joyo JF-02 Ultimate Overdrive Pedal, Featuring True Bypass Wiring

    • If you are looking to get a good octavix/Octavia type effect in this pedal, you may want to reconsider(MHO)...
    • 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
    • I certainly expected a little better effects but maybe I expected too much
    • it's a good, affordable effect
    • 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
    • The octave effect is strong if used properly; I am setting (Fuzz) it at 8 o'clock, using the neck pickup, and accepting the fact that any of these only have a strong effect on certain parts of the neck (around the 10th to 15th fret, listen to Blue on Black; he's playing it there).
    • Like not a real effect
    • 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
    • Very cool, subtle effect
