All user reviews for the Joyo JF-01 Vintage Overdrive

Analog overdrive pedal guitar.

An input jack, an output, an input power supply 9V.

The pedal is true bypass.

Imitation of some TS9.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration with three knobs: one volume, a gain and a general tone.

The manual is clear and sufficient though not necessary.

Find its sound is very easy, no surprise at the use of knobs.

SOUND QUALITY

Typed vintage overdrive, we obtain not a big gain from this pedal and it is not the goal anyway. She has less gain than the model from Ibanez, but mostly, it does not sound the same, not the same personality, indeed where Ibanez is going to sound thick and fat once the drive pushed the Joyo crystalline sounds of his entire race Drive; we like it or not, personally I love. Clearly she has a clean and does not try to copy the TS9, to define the sound I would say it is between the TS808 and the TS9 was a very nice overdrive, lightweight, discrete, crystalline over the entire stroke the drive which has still enough to go kick in the good old rock (but still not enough to go play the AC / DC), the vintage sound is there and the pedal meets the personality of guitars. What you ask for?
The tone knob when to give it more of a certain color to the effect but forget the extreme EQ settings.

Here we have a very subtle overdrive, but unless more than a TS9 TS808, which sounds great alone or on a channel already saturated. But versatility is still not his strong point, unless you want an Overdrive typed vintage, blues, pop or rock small 60's / 70's, go your way.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 weeks.

I tried basically all models of overdrive at Boss and Ibanez before I decide, it has nothing to envy them, it's just a pedal offering another personality overdrive (and not a faithful imitation but less well, as with behringer for example).

I love her vintage sound, clean and crystal, rich in harmonics. And the fact that it is true bypass pedal for this price!

Value / price ratio: 49 euros new in store, it is found in 29 new Internet.

I would do without hesitation that choice, I too love the sound and price!
