Biyang

This is a Tube Screamer Clone with chip swap out capabilities and a true bypass. UTILIZATION Great OD push and options. SOUND QUALITY I have a Ibanez TS-7 and really liked it but was wanting a TS 808 clone as they are used by my influences. The TS-7 was tighter in character and a little quieter but the OD-8 was able to match the tone perfectly and has a much wider range on the controls plus a 3 position switch that changes it's tone dirastically! In all fairness it was like going from a cassette to a CD in overall sound quality! Just amazing clarity! OVERALL OPINION It has a real 3TDP true bypass switch and quality components that are undeniable. Great casing! Can achieve a TS808 tone without the $200 price and give you extra sound options with the 3 position switch and chip swap. Comes with the JRC4558DD installed and two others to experiment with (The KWK737 chip highlights the treble tones in the overdrive while the NE5532 chip has some serious growl and presence). Made in China but did not compromise part quality! Amazing sound/ quality. $42 =WOW!!

The Biyang FZ-7 is a multi-mode fuzz pedal that is designed for use with electric guitar. It's definitely usable with any electronic instrument, but I'd stick to using it on electric guitar unless you're really looking to experiment. This is an all analog pedal, with a standard make up in terms of connections and power requirements sine it's input and output jacks are 1/4" and it requires 9 volts of power from a power supply. The pedal has true bypass and isn't rack mountable since it's a stomp box. UTILIZATION The make up of the Biyang FZ-7 is generally pretty easy to follow, as most users will be able to figure out everything pretty much on the spot. The FZ-7 has three fuzz modes - muff, bright, and warm. It then also has parameters for level, tone, and fuzz, which are the basic parameters seen on most distortion and overdrive pedals. That's pretty much all that there is to the pedal, so no manual should be needed. SOUND QUALITY The Biyang FZ-7 is a pretty versatile pedal for not having too many parameters to work with. Between the three different modes it's possible to get a nice array of different fuzz sounds, but don't expect anything too radical from mode to mode. The 'muff' mode definitely sounds like an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff minus most of the noise. The other modes however are awesome as well, perhaps even more so than the muff. I would have to say that I like the warm mode the best, as it definitely adds some nice lower end warmth to your sound. I've used the pedal with a variety of different guitars and amplifier combinations... OVERALL OPINION As far as getting bang for your buck goes, the Biyang FZ-7 is at the top of it's class. The pedal is definitely better than most in this price range, although you aren't going to find too many pedals total at this price, let along one with three distinct modes. Whether you're on a budget or not however, the FZ-7 is a very useful pedal that I'd recommend checking out. Definitely an awesome and versatile fuzz pedal for players on all levels...

I just came to give my two cents about this pedal. Its sick, to say the least. This thing will scream any pickups. Excellent switching from modern, normal and vintage gives you three different distortion types. In addition you get a high cut, which really works out well to quench some of the sizzle from hot pickups. Also you get another switch to go from normal, bright and warm tones. Still further, you get an amp cab sim. Think Rectifier. When switched on, it turns your cab into distortion crunch hell. Its sounds amazing once you dial it in for your pickups. I use an overdrive to get some sparkle gain which really opens up the Metal End. Even dry, this thing sounds truly amazing, even at low volumes. It will be the last metal pedal you will need. I gave away my Metal Zone because it really sucked compared to Biyang Metal End. In addition, whats really cool about this box is the midrange tone knob has an accompanying frequency knob which allows you to either scoop or enhance the mid frequencies. Biyang made this thing rock solid as well. With the true bypass, you dont have to worry about it affecting your clean tone. If you are confused, dont be, get one and try it. You'll be blown away, especially from it's very low price. Dont mistake this for a cheap product because it's not. Get one and you will see.

The Biyang OD-7 is a unique overdrive pedal that is best suited for use with electric guitar. It's essentially a suped-up Tube Screamer as it's got the same sort of sound and even has a TS setting on it. The pedal is made up of analog parts and has 1/4" jacks for input and output. It's powered up by a nine volt power supply and isn't rack mountable as it's a stomp box. UTILIZATION The configuration of the Biyang OD-7 isn't much to follow. Even if you haven't used many other overdrive pedals out there, it's still pretty easy to understand. If you do have experience with other overdrive pedals, this will be a cinch to use. The main parameters are for volume, tone, and drive, which are the three parameters that you'll find on most distortion and overdrive pedals. It then also has three different modes to choose from - a TS mode (Tube Screamer), and both a bright and warm setting as well. It's definitely a self explanatory make up, so a manual isn't needed. SOUND QUALITY This is basically the best of all possible worlds in terms of being it's own Tube Screamer. The Biyang OD-7 borrows the make up of the Tube Screamers and expands on it a bit, as it's more versatile than your average Tube Screamer. For me the TS setting is the best as it's the fullest, but the bright and warm settings are also very useful and are a nice change of pace. All of the sounds possible with the pedal are however, top notch in terms of clarity and overall tone. It's possible to get a wide array of tones between the three different modes, making it more flexible than Ibanez made Tube Screamers out there... OVERALL OPINION If you're looking for a top tier overdrive pedal which is basically a Tube Screamer, the Biyang OD-7 is your ticket! This is not very well known for whatever reason, but if you are after the Tube Screamer sound, this is a pedal you absolutely need to consider. It's cheaper than you would think it would be as well, making it a great overall pedal that guitar geeks of all types should know about.
