  • While I was trying to find a used Tech21 California, I decided to try a Joyo JF-15, as the price was right.
  • That being said - for $40 it is a great price (I'll certainly try some of their other

Reviews around voice (5.00 of 5)

  • This happened whenever I turned up the voice and gain together
  • I scoop the mid, crank up the gain and voice about three quarters of the way, add some compressor to tighten things
  • When I turned the "voice" and "gain" settings close to all the way clockwise, I got a weird howling/shrieking sound
  • So . . . in my experience you can't dime the voice and gain at the same time
  • I'm keeping the Gain all the way up, the Voice at about 10 o'clock - Bass low - mids and trebs high.

Reviews around effect (5.00 of 5)

  • This "California" is the best amp modeling effect I have found so far
  • This is a surprisingly good effects pedal!Also worth noting is that many Joyo Pedals are true Bypass (These have "True Bypass" printed below the switch), but this one is not.
  • Really wonderful effects with my Fender Precision and Jazz Bass

Reviews around overdrive (5.00 of 5)

  • I to a Mark II, and some nice Mesa F-50 overdriven to mild distortion tone with limitless sustain & I am in heaven
  • Rather you can dial in just about any classic rock overdrive or clean tone you want
  • This pedal is great for obtaining more of the mesa overdrive and

Reviews around sustain (5.00 of 5)

  • That brought on a real nice sustain much like turning up those Deluxe amps for a natural tube overdrive
  • On a clean channel'd amp - by itself - this pedal has enough smooth gain and sustain to be the only dist
  • I've found some nice guitar tones with this, but for me it has not been as useful as, for example, Joyo's American Sound, which is more versatile and effective
  • On it's own - just a distortion pedal with a "mic'd up cabinet", super gain, super sustain feel to it - it's great.
  • Finally, there are Level and Gain knobs that work as if they were the corresponding knobs on your amp.

Reviews around guitar (5.00 of 5)

  • I got this mostly for recording, but intend to use it to make any amp have a thick, juicy lead guitar sound
  • I've played this pedal through an Ibanez Artist w/ Slash Seymour Duncan Pickups (amazing guitar and pickups!) , Epiphone SG Pro with DiMarzio Crunch Lab pickups, and

Reviews around amp (4.26 of 5)

  • though, I was simply looking for a pedal that would give me a great clean, overdriven, and distorted amp tone, and this pedal nailed it, regardless if it truly does sound like a Mesa Boogie amp or not
  • If you're looking for sloppy loose break up that makes your amp sound like junk than this is the pedal for you.
  • It does not have quite as much vol., but plenty for recording or into a clean amp.
  • On a clean channel'd amp - by itself - this pedal has enough smooth gain and sustain to be the only dist
  • I really like amp modelling because I have a cheap solid state amp

Reviews around rock (3.44 of 5)

  • Over all it's worth the money if your looking for a pedal to play some low gain stuff such as classic rock blues or country.
  • It's not really bright, some may call it muddy, but it works great for me playing dirty blues and classic rock
  • It's not really bright, some may call it muddy, but it works great for me playing dirty blues and classic rock
  • Someone hoping to find a classic rock or blues sound should be fairly happy with this pedal.

Reviews around gain (3.42 of 5)

  • Its gain is a sloppy loose open break up which to me doesnt sound good at any level
  • This is an excellent all-around pedal, one that has enough gain and bottom end on tap to actually compete with the rectifier.

Reviews around distortion (3.40 of 5)

  • Distortion is not that good, rather mushy and not nearly as much distortion as I would have expected based on the amazon reviews.
  • The Joyo took away the harshness of the Metal Zone and provided great sounding distortion with lots of touch sensitivity into a 65 Princeton Reverb.
  • Distortion is not that good, rather mushy and not nearly as much distortion as I would have expected based on the amazon reviews.
  • The distortion is great and very amp-like, except at extreme EQ settings
  • Bought this to try to get some more modern sounding distortion

More about Joyo JF-15 California Sound Effects Pedal with Modern Ultra-High Gain Amp Simulator and Unique Voice Control

  • CA style from a Joyo Pedal is what you’ll get from the JF-15 California Sound distortion pedal from Joyo
  • The modern rockers all prefer high-gain lead and rhythm channels, and the JF-15 circuit was designed to replicate the sound of these incredible amps
  • Gleaming with sparkle and smooth saturation, just like a modern tube amp from Mesa Boogie, Orange or Diamond, the California Sound will work its way into your pedal chain for good reason
  • Sound!The features on this distortion pedal really provide flexibility and sweet various sounds
  • Used for rhythm work suitable for punk and rock-rap, this pedal needs only ½ gain from the drive channel; you can scoop the mids and allow just the brightness and balls to ring out; you can use it as a low-pass filter (cut mid and high 100%) on a bass or even process vocals with it (as a sidechain via reamp or even live) for a tight, unique effect
  • With the Output near max and Drive backed off a bit it provides a really smooth, subtle overdrive (used as a clean boost to get just a bit more sparkle out of an old Champ-style tube amp).The JF-15 is as groovy and as funky as a chili pepper, with the attitude and focus of the “rude-boy” Omaha hero free-form rockers.
  • can anyone guess it? Yeah, that’s right: 311! ;) If you know rock guitar of the 90s, early 2000s and beyond, then you know and can appreciate this sound.
