    Joyo JF-02 Ultimate Overdrive Pedal, featuring true Bypass Wiring, Tone Switch and Quality components

    • This thing is sweet
    • What a cool thing for guitar players.
    • The touch-feel thing is of course more prominent in the lower drive settings
    • as I'm figuring out my tone I found I needed a bit more in my pre-amp chain... and this thing is awesome
    • These things are so cheap, I'm contemplating making a pedal board with 10 of these .
    • Maybe I was lucky but this thing is great for the price.
    • The great thing about the JOYO pedals is you can buy 4-6 for the same price of one boutique pedal
    • I’d heard a lot of good things about the Joyo and the Fulltone
    • But still has enough midrange to keep things complex, full, and cut through the mix.
    • I love this thing.
    • This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and it's certainly better than having no headroom to set the pedal louder (a frequent criticism of the BOSS DS-1), but it's something to be aware of
    • So yeah, this thing is awesome.
    • I think my favorite thing is that it covers so much of the tonal palette.
    • This thing can work on a spectrum from just a booster to a distorted overdrive
    • At the full CCW attack position, you'll hear it really clamping the attack and smoothing things out, even to the point of sounding muffled
    • Can't say enough good things love this pedal
    • Hmmmmm.... not such a bad thing I suppose,
    • The only negative thing I could say about it is the overdrive buzz/hiss
    • Love this thing with all my heart
    • But this thing has quite a bit more gain than a TS808, and seems to give you much more low end than the TS808
    • I wish the phase went a little wider, but for $30, this thing is killer
    • I've been using this thing for a minute now and love the results.
    • This thing, on first impressions, is a total bargain and a well deserved 5 star pedal
    • Other than that, this thing is PERFECT.
    • Some things are worth paying for
    • The analog delay is amazing and the other controls are great for making strange things
    • The thing sounds great with a tube amp, and offers an array of sounds that can be heard just by tweaking the pedal
    • The thing easily and quickly broke
    • The character of the distortion sounded very similar to the gain channel of my Blackstar HT Club 40, but it was brighter and not as thick and full sounding, which could be a good thing
    • I plan on purchasing an actual OCD sometime in the future, but until then I'm going to give this thing hell
    • One thing though, the button is pretty stiff so if you're sitting down to play you kinda need to stomp hard
    • But if your looking for a mid ground between overdrive and distortion this thing is a amazing
    • I suppose that is a good thing
    • This thing is awesome
    • Short and sweet, this thing is freaking awesome
    • I have heard good things regarding this
    • This thing simply didn't work right out of the box
    • It's musical, responsive, spongy, all of those nice things
    • So this thing is pretty cool for the money
    • That is a GOOD thing with a compressor
    • I use it as both a boost in my peavey triple X combo in the ultra channel, tighten things up real nice, I feel it retains more low end than boosting with a tube screamer, so great for that "Djent" tone
    • the silly thing still had it's cellophane wrapper
    • this thing sounds great
    • All of the time a roll back on the guitar's volume will clean things up nicely
    • - I'm not sure how this thing is available at the price it is.
    • The best thing about it is the built in light that blinks with the speed chosen
    • Sometimes you get too much of a good thing
    • I've heard great things about other Joyo products, however.
    • In my opinion, this thing is well worth the price
    • Not a huge complaint, but... with single coils this thing gets a little noisy when you aren't actively playing.
    • CONsThe only negative thing is that the hard foam underneath you cannot stick anything to, so my pedalboard velcro would not stick
    • I was not able to afford an Ibanez at that time, and since people had a lot of good things to say about this pedal, I decided to give it a try
    • I was skeptical buying a pedal in this price range but let me tell you..... this thing is fantastic
    • That being said, this thing sounds twice as good and has this dreamy smooth sound if you run your guitar signal through an EP booster like the Xotic EP Booster before you plug into this thing.
    • The only thing is that the volume knob is very sensitive; this thing can get LOUD with just a small movement
    • It just makes things sound solid.
    • This thing can get really loud.
    • The only bad thing about the Ultimate Drive is the graphic depiction of the Japanese Oni demon on the top of it
    • This thing actually sounds great.
    • There probably is little more gain available on this pedal with that knob cranked full, which isn't a bad thing.
    • I'm very surprised how good this thing sounds
    • but this thing sounds great.
    • This thing sounds great
    • I love this thing
    • Good thing I had my 1Spot as backup
    • This thing was amazing when it came out of the box and i was impressed this is a warm
    • This thing is great if you want to produce a good amp sound through a recording console or a PA without having to crank an amp to eleven.
    • This thing is built like a tank
    • It's similar sound to my amp's distortion but with a bit different EQ, which is a good thing as I like tube distortion not gainy grit
    • I love this thing im thinking that im gonna buy like 6 more pedals
    • This is the new best thing, as I get
    • Love this thing
    • This thing not only sounds great for its extremely cheap price, but is extremely durable.
    • This thing sounds amazing- except for one small problem: At higher gain settings it hisses like a mother
    • These things are amazing
    • The most important thing here is that dope ass dog on the pedal itself
    • This thing really sucks out tone
    • At this extremely affordable price it's hard to pass by such a great petal billed as an OCD clone this pedal does not sound quite as good as the Fulltone petal but is extremely usable and excellent sounding t in my opinion
    • (as you turn it clock wise) - I like it for adding charcater/punch to my live
    • only negative i
