Joyo JF-08 Digital Delay

A good old-type bucket brigade delay. Finally, it is not supposed to be a digital delay with a filter that emulates analog. Well, should I open it to be sure. I do not want.
Supply standard 9V boss on the right side only practical if the power supply of pedalboard has a right-angle plug. Metal case of reasonable size and well finished quite nice despite a bronze poop, buttons are good, the knobs below seem soft will see how it ages.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is like a basic delay "time / repeat / level." No modulation setting or fantasies. The site description JOYO said that the delay is 25-600ms, the ear I would have said such 500ms then it must be true.
Obviously it can hardly be simpler to set this type of delay, I do not have a manual, I do not know if there is one and I do not know what we could put in it.

SOUND QUALITY

Sound, then this is the core of the thing.
True bypass they say. In fact, we would say you unplug it, the signal passes, the circuit seems to follow the sound of the guitar - I know not why but all these effects of mass worth ten bucks at the supermarket I'm always very wary of manufacturer specifications.
Sound repetitions is filthy, as expected for this type of effect. Whether it is more or less filthy or more or less faithful to the original that particular delay that is 20 times I do not know. But it has its own sound with his personality.
It self-oscillates very easily, very easily type, 3/4 race knob repeat. And as it should, it self-oscillates VERY STRONG, which is tamed quite well with the level knob. More like the knobs are soft, I think it should be easy to take a big pop hit by typing in the wrong knob with a pissed off if it is what is not my case.

OVERALL OPINION

As for the delays on which I post an opinion because I had plenty I know if I'll keep it or not after a half hour test.
I'll keep at least some time. It's nails, it looks sturdy enough, it sounds cradomomo and self-oscillates a snap. It is not far from the perfect delay in this price range.
Do not misunderstand my words, this is a real box noise that thing, do not buy it to make pretty well polished high repetitions grattiste. Buy more if like me you find the soundtrack to the very musical Forbidden Planet

Chinese brand, which copies the American brands, but with components and more cheap labor work.
Very strong box, with three knobs:
-Time: Who sets the time between repeats
-Repeat: Who determines the number of repeat
-Level: Who manages the level of repeats and effect in general.
Digital delay, as the name suggests but with almost analog sound.
1 output standard 9v power supply or when using a 9V battery with a hatch underneath the pedal, with a small valve without the need for screwdrivers or what is the access to the most convenient battery I n ' 've ever seen!

UTILIZATION

No need to book, the principle of each knob is quickly realized, we look how many times you want the sound, how much gap between each, and scratching, and after, everyone is free to manage its delay as desired . The grip is very easy, and it explodes well grind a little all the knobs.

SOUND QUALITY

The delay is very good, no complaints about the sound, the only downside is that when the knob Repeat and Time are both thoroughly, the pedal becomes "crazy" and started making loud noises, and they are off to stop them, but once this known defect, it does not grow in the background, and no problem, anyway, no one ever will be useful to all the knobs thoroughly.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year, and I am very satisfied, do not use often often my delay, I have absolutely no need for more, as the price / quality ratio is just MAGIC, after you have budget and want to have THE delay by default, it may suit you, but I know that if I had the budget that some have, I try to let other much more expensive pedals, but here I do not have the budget, and it suits me very well, so yes I do it again this choice, but if in the future, I have the opportunity to go somewhere else, I will, just to see what it looks more expensive, but that does not mean that I prefer the more expensive!

This delay is all that has easier TYPE JF08 JF33 because it exists in smaller.

3 knobs Time, Repeat, Level, this is a pedal Analog in a manufacturing firm, a switch and an LED for activation.

one delay Delay time: 25 ms, 600 ms

With a real BYPASS.

UTILIZATION

For use, it is always simple, you press the switch (without pass-by noise), which is not all malgrés negligable, and the delay is there.

Do we still know how to set a delay but overall it is pretty effective is not the best but it does what is asked of him, no more, no less.

No change in sound volume level, no click, or spitting at the pressure switch.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is clean, I find it does not alter the other effects, it only adds to the delay other effects, which is pretty cool.
I glue the distortion, OD, Fuzz and reverb it does not move it is simple and effective.

It has not come this close to the delay of Pink Floyd, U2 and other artists who have trivialized this effect.

OVERALL OPINION

I had the opportunity to test some delay, the expensive, the cheapest and what I sincerely pensse not a blush, she points positive and negative current but for the price it's still a delay for first-hand familiar with the fact that "delay" and I would add, too, because in my case, a neutral delay for a clean modern too which helps keep a balance in his pedalboard crashed without any other effects.

There are better but more expensive. this is a good quality / price ratio if you like effects without much hoopla single ...
