and it's a much smoother overdrive, not harsh at all.

It's a decent overdrive, not super powerful

The Ultimate Overdrive covers the mid to heavy overdrive/distortion no problem

That is probably something that isn't preferred by a blues guy looking for a really transparent overdrive, but it's not overbearing

I bought it to boost the overdrive on my

This pedal achieves warm and chimey tube amp tones similar to that of Fender and Vox (as it is supposed to) this pedal covers it all, clean boost, light overdrive, all the way to over the top feed back and distortion

However, it sounds great and is my main pedal when I want some nice beefy overdrive

This is one of the best overdrives I have ever had ( and for under 40 bone's

low-gain "crunch" sounds very well, but if that's what you want, consider the Joyo Vintage Overdrive, the Joyo Crunch Distortion, or a Tubescreamer.

From smooth overdrive to chunky marshall type distortion

It's a great little box - puts down some nice overdrive without much fuss

but it's a decent overdrive and the construction is very heavy duty

The joyo is pretty dam close, it seems a bit noisy, but in my experience most overdrive and/or distortions are

If you're needing a good overdrive to add to your

So I ordered the "Behringer VT999 Classic Vacuum Tube Overdrive" thinking it would be better

A great distortion/overdrive

It gives you a nice tube overdrive, much like a tube screamer.

I use on the pedal in the video:Drive about 50-60%Volume about 25%Tone about 90%I have this connected to a small, basic amp that is set for nice clear tones on the guitar, then when I want to have more fuzzy overdrive, I just hit this pedal instead of trying to adjust the amp settings

Good, smooth overdrive

Simple and effective overdrive or boost

Great, nice smooth overdrive, put a Sweet Baby in front of it and have some real fun.

A great distortion/overdrive

I really liked using this as a preamp rather then an overdrive

Amazing value for money sounds as good as any overdrive I have used and I have tried loads

Very smooth overdrive reminiscent of other "tubescreamer" pedals

I recommend the Ultimate Overdrive without reservation!

The sweet baby overdrive is much cheaper feeling than this one

i use a joyo vintage overdrive for clean boost/slight overdrive and kick this pedal in to really get raunchy.

Apparently it's comparable to the Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer, but I actually think it's a totally different breed of overdrive (not as muddy sounding, fits in the mix a lot smoother, and cheaper too)

I had this compressor as well as the Vintage Overdrive on it

The Joyo Vintage Overdrive is great for adding crunch to your set-up

I found that the vintage overdrive works its best in front of the compressor

I own this the classic overdrive and the ultimate overdrive by joyo.

This is a great all around overdrive that can get some great old school overdrive sounds

Powerful overdrive

For less than 30 bucks it's a pretty solid overdrive.

I like this better than most overdrives--at any price--I've tried in 40 years of playing.

So I had been shopping a long time for a decent overdrive that would give me a john mayer like tone

It looks better than my Vintage Overdrive (again, great pedal).

Good price, functional overdrive, could be noisy.

So, while the OCD provides a better, more neutral clean boost and gentle overdrive, the Joyo is great choice to save money

You aren't getting what you paid for cause it's built very well and the overdrive is amazing on this thing

Easy to find a good overdrive that sounds authentically vintage.

If you looking for a nice pretty well behaved overdrive, look elsewhere

If you looking for a nice pretty well behaved overdrive, look elsewhere

I employ this pedal more than my boss distortions and my electro harmonix distortions/overdrives.

Not at all a neutral pedal as it definitely affects the tone, but it's a great overdrive.

The price of Joyo pedals is so much less expensive that competing products, so if you are looking for a cheap overdrive, this is it

The tone is much thicker and has more low end, and I'd say that is what Boss accomplished with the OD-3 for players who want more than the upper midrange hump in the standard Super Overdrive.

the overdrive is very good and the construction is very very sturdy.

I am now using this and Joyo's Ultimate Overdrive on my single-channel amp to give me two levels of overdrive, and they work well next to each other.

Rather you can dial in just about any classic rock overdrive or clean tone you want

Before I say anything about this pedal I think people should keep in mind this is a small fraction of the price of more popular overdrives and tube screamers

If you play punk or anything with a hard overdriven guitar, this pedal is for you

This is a great high gain overdrive

I used this pedal as a boost for the Joyo Classic Overdrive

The Vintage Overdrive for its price (all are a true bargain, practical , and useable for live performance/recording, bedroom/den practice, and just playing accurate to what they emulate.), can't be beat

it has nice tone dynamics going on inside of it , very nice as a clean boost and also a great overdrive

Wonderful clean boost and warm overdrive too.

I started looking for a good overdrive over a year ago

I can get anything from that classic 'chimey' Vox tone to some pretty gritty overdrive, and everything in between.

* (all the joyo pedal reviews seem to me mixed together).Nice sounding pedal that goes from a clear sounding 'bluesy' overdrive up to moderate distortion

I would suggest this to any one who is looking for a good affordable overdrive

( I do love the overdrive on that though)

I've been using a BK Butler Tube Driver as my overdrive for the last several years and honestly, I like the tone and drive of this Joyo better

It handles everything from easy overdrive to nearly all out metal (not a metal pedal though) but it gets that drive from those huge amps of the 70's right on the money

Best Cheap Overdrive on the market

This may be the Holy Grail of pedals for anyone who wants anything from a nice screamy overdrive, to a subtle blusey grit.

I generally prefer the Vox overdrive, but this is very useful for obtaining more of a Marshall flavor when needed.

Overall, just a great overdrive

Wonderful clean boost and warm overdrive too.

I like the overdrive but there is a VERY obvious latency when you press the switch

Kind of a perfect overdrive imo

I would recommend the vintage overdrive

I dropped it on my main pedal board rig between the EQ and distortion pedals... plays real nice with the Pro Co RAT at low distortion levels... jumped between driving blues and AC/DC riffs nicely, which is straight up how I measure a good overdrive

Most "Marshall-in-a-box" stomps, imo, sound much tamer than a real Marshall, and they give you a "prettied-up", safer version of that sound, in order to appease the 15-year-old Children Of Boredom/Cannibal Corpse lame-o neo-hippies the scene is now infested with

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

only negative i
