You can actually see the on light where as you can't on a TS9. Great pedal.
Lol i thought that was just mine
Goat comment
The Joyo is one of my favorite overdrive. I had the Maxon OD808 and had the Joyo, but I ended up selling my Maxon and keeping the Joyo. My speakers are slightly darker than V30s, so the Joyo works great with my setup.
I personally loved that noisy sound coming from the Triple XXX with the vintage out front hahaha. Sounded insane. Would fit for a chaotic metallic hc sound for sure!
In my experience, the Joyo, DemonFx, and Behringer OD pedals have the same exact chip as the Ibanez and Maxon units they're copying, but the QC variance in these cheap pedals is pretty high in comparison. You can buy 5 of the exact same pedal and they will all sound noticeably different, as well as have vastly different values in the same positions on the potentiometer controls. If you get a good one, it's a damn good one, so hang onto it; if you get a shitty one, return it and try again from the same or another retailer. Technically the same issue exists in the original pedals, too, but the variance isn't anywhere as pronounced or extreme as the cheaper ones, so as is probably obvious, YMMV.
DemonFx is sick good and there are few others which are better then boutique blah blah brands, some so called copies of demon are way better then originals in terms of qulity manufacturing and i saw some extra add ons like dust proof pots, switches etc. No need to spent more 50$ max 70$ on 1st class pedal no matter what sort of pats they use, but brands are greedy they wish to earn millions fast and then they lie a lot, use hypes, pay even people to write in superlative on forums.
@@sisajtegabre I have their Precision Drive clone. It's great. I might wanna get a Freedman BE-ODX for a possible layering sound. My gf plays bass, and I showed her their dark glass clones and she's interested, to say the least. Brands like Donner Deal and Valeton have some cool stuff, too, especially when it comes to Fly-Rig type pedals and some... Non-standard takes on older pedal trends.
I own a boss os2, and definitely like my joyo vintage overdrive a LOT more than the OS 2 as a boost with my marshall DSL
The Joyo has more gain at the lowest setting than the ts-9. A simple change of 1 resistor or soldering a resistor in parallel on the back of the board makes it sound more clear. I made that small mod and it is now more clear at the lowest gain setting.
More info?
@@JeffB-hf9rbThere is a 51K resistor that controls the minimum gain. It is just below the gain pot at the edge of the circuit board. I just soldered 56K resistor (green blue orange gold) in parallel to the back, which reduced the value to about 27K. If you don't want to take the pedal apart, you'll need a multimeter to find and measure the resistor. It cleans up nicely and is suitable as a boost pedal.
@@rockandrollmd541 So you soldered it in on the solder side instead of the component side of the PCB?
@@JeffB-hf9rb Yes, it's easily reversible, didn't have to do any major surgery. I just made sure that the resistor leads were not too long so that the resistor doesn't touch the back plate.
@@rockandrollmd541 I've been a supervisor for solderers/techs for the last several years and have got my hands dirty numerous times with the products and personal stuff so it shouldn't be too much of a problem along with some 6505+ mods.
I have to admit that I'm pretty late to the overdrive game. I grew up in a small town in TX and I didn't know anyone who used OD pedals. I remember one guy showing up with an old plastic Ibanez "Soundtank" TS5 and talking about how awesome they were. I thought it was a distortion pedal... I plugged it in, thought it sounded like crap (because I had NO IDEA how to use it) and never tried an OD again until a couple of years ago. Everyone I played with always just got the best tones they could from their amps and we all just thought that was how it was done. It wasn't until CZcams came around that I understood how to use them. And yes, I'm old...
Anyway, awesome video! Thanks for helping people understand what all this gear does!
Your not alone, I never knew about overdrives either, im 50 and just in the past couple months have been using overdrives, I have a DSL20hr & Boss Katana MK2 and boost both now.
@@scottbrown9008 much like Kyle, I have a ridiculous amount of gear now. I still don't use any OD much, but I have a TS9 and an SD-1, so at least I have options.
your channel is just THE BEST for metal players
I have one and absolutely love it. Awesome well built pedal at an awesome price.
Sounds perfectly fine to me seen many blues and rock players using it and blown away by it it’s probably just not
Right for what you play
Hi Kyle. I wear glasses too. You might need the anti glare treatment on a new pair or get contacts. Contacts are cool you can just pop em in before filming then take them out. Contacts are also cheaper.
I am watching this, and thanks for the love man. I was wondering about the Joyo vintage pedal and have been debating about what pedal to boost my amp with.
I had started my overdrive pedal search a few months back , I had bought the joyo initially and was satisfied but had some nagging voice in my head saying well maybe a more expensive one might make it sound even better , I bought the walrus ages everyone raves about for 200$ and tbh the difference was subtle to me at best , if anything just seemed to add a bit more noise , but the positives aspects of it , I was getting with my 50$ joyo pedal , so yes I returned my walrus and saved 200$
Same here, and for a different flavor of boost I added a TC Spark Booster in line with the Joyo. The Spark in the mid switch position does a very convincing TS boost and I switch between them pending on the guitar.
I bought the Joyo when I first started getting into overdrive pedals and it did nothing for my amp that I remember, I was a playing a JCM 2000 TSL 60 and didn't hear any improvement so I returned it, I borrowed my son's Walrus Audio Voyager and that pedal tightened up that amp nicely. I now have a JCM 2000 DSL 100 and JCM 900 and I run both with a Berhinger 0800 Vintage Overdrive (808 clone) and a Friedman Buxom Boost, each pedal makes the amps sound nicer one their own but together they jump it up a level. I also know what you mean about finding pedal demos for the style of music you play because I play skate and pop punk and everyone only does leads which I can't do 🤣. That is why you have become my new favorite amp and pedal demo guy 👍
I had a couple of these Joyo screamers back in day. A great inexpensive way to look into overdrive pedals. A little noisier than an Ibanez, but for the money it's a great pedal.
I have the Harley Benton branded one, same thing
Cannot for the life of me hear a difference with my Maxon OD808
from what I could hear..........they all sounded good. Only exception was the drop-C. The Joyo definitely sounded more harsh.
You made me bust out my Joyo and try it i forgot i had it and yea i agree its ok but not compared to the mxr M77
Because different kind of overdrive 🙄
“Kyle here in my old bands T-shirt AGAIN”. 🖤😉
Just bought it lol. It’s my first pedal and mostly just want to toy around, so the price seemed right
Awsome video and I couldn't have seen it at a better time as I'm buying one off a guy for $15 on Facebook marketplace tonight . Thanks Kyle
I have both pedals the joyo i got about 2 years ago used, i did not use it at all until 2 weeks ago when i bought the ts9 just for the giggles. I will admit that I was a snob when it comes to tube screamers. I am now a fan of both pedals. They sound great on my crush and bugera vintage 5. I dont use them on my dsl's because you dont really need the on those amps.
The M77 is my personal favourite! It kicked the Maxon OD9 off my board
Everything you touches sounds incredible, love every single post bro 💪💪💪
Sold couple of my Joyo stuff except for this one. Boost works great for me!
Your sister is cool 👍🏻
I have a Joyo Vintage OD, Ultimate Drive and a Boss SD-1. I actually like both of the Joyos more than the Boss.
Sd1 just very out school. And you can really dial em in. M77 is and awesome pedal too.
😂😂 had the exact same pedal as my first pedal, still have it till this day
I like mine.
I'm getting this pedal along with a Kramer baretta special next month because I'm going to play mostly Thrash Metal riffs.
I own one as well. Works just fine!
The only o.d I might get in the future would be one with a built in noise gate
Your xxx sounds so dam good. Wish I could get mine to sound like that. Killer content dude! Would love to hear more about the mxr 77
Great pedal it’s on all the time for me , but I’m not trying to be as percussive as Kyle with my playing . I’m not even tempted to buy another ( way more expensive) od pedal .
Older, and some cheaper gear is becoming the new unique rare sound. Hell even line6 and peavey are re releasing they’re original sounding stuff.
It would be cool if you put together a rig like the ultimate begginer/budget player gig rig. Or maybe not put together the rig but make a list of gear and give advice how to find deals and what to avoid etc. I know you've showcased a lot of good cheap gear but condensing it down into one short video I'm sure would help a lot of players trying to find a place to start out with their first real rig and not just a little combo
I really apreciate you explaining that people with Great amps can still benefit from a drive or 'tube scream ' knock off I had the same approach: What do i need it for if I have Marshall stack JVM?
What an epic gear purge you're having man
Hey you can get rid of reflections with a polarizing filter
Power Trip!
I had one, it was good for pushed cleans, rock, blues.
Didn't like it for boosting high gain metal tones. Ended up selling it.
I personally really like the sd1 with a mxr 6band
Seems like early Joyo pedals were pretty terrible. They did end up stepping up their game, though, with their Bantamps, the R-series, and their switcher boards. Good video! THANKS!
Joyo keeps the Marshall a Marshall!
I like BBB for buster !!!
i like the joyo with the JCM 2000. And it really pulls the dual rec through the quicksand marsh bog of sadness, and i feel it correct and complete it's tone. And finally the joyo on the peavey triple XXX is soo gnarly it wins hands down. i think it could be used on real thrash with pickups like dimarzio distortion or SD full shred SH10 pickups, like songs from Forbidden the forbidden evil album and twisted into form , step by step, etc. the reason is its 'vintagy' and maybe an amp like a diezel hagen, a fryette sig X, marshall jcm, peavey triple XXX , solid state amps, and be better in a mix and on loud stage, like van halen. maybe joyo has a modern voiced version of a boost, they have a clean boost pedal is that one the joyo 'ultimate drive'?
Hi nice review. Question,
I play my guitar directly through the amp(music man 130hd valve amp), now want to by this joyo pedal, so I connect guitar to joyo and joyo to amp and thats it? Or need something more in between? Thanks
you are correct! That is all that is needed 🙂
Standard sounded pretty good to me with joyo. But in c#... It's sounded ok. It sounded like there's some extra middy frequencies. Like you Said. I have the joyo extreme metal, and it has a boost switch, sounded alot better than that vintage.
You should try the joyo extreme metal pedal. I think it would go good with the xxx and mesa amp.
But if have no money or want something cheap inexpensive vintage overdrive
The Armageddon Blues!!!
I have this pedal and it is pretty okay. I am no TS9 fan overall but this does the thing well enough for me. Post dimed HM2 going into my cranked to fuck "plexi" it sounds really nice. My only complaint is that it does not have the monkey graphic that the Harley Benton version has and I NEED the monkey graphic.
edit: I get the feeling that when this pedal was being designed that they were using a 6505/5150 to test with as I thought it played really well with that Peavey low mid thing that Peavey has. Maybe I am just tone deaf or not hip to the cool sound.
they all sound good if ur that picky about mids get an EQ and be done with it u dont need to spend 200 bucks on 1 damn overdrive for playing in a room
I'm also using this pedal 😅
the vintage overdrive sounds killer idk what you mean haha the mxr was my least favorite to be honest. well in this comparison at least. the SD1 sounded pretty killer too
To be honest everything is copy of 1st original pedals or if you like based on them, electro-harmonix, MXR, BOSS, Maxon etc made some ''originals'' the rest just combine what they did in the past. Take any boutique brand in last 20 years they are all ripping of legends and just change PCB traces and switch few values, add extra switch which essay or knob-pots. But people have no guts to call them out, some do ☺ but it's extremely rare. That is truth about pedal industry
Shadows fall riff in there
Check out the boosts from behringer
Thanks for the review, saved me $35 that I'll probably put towards a TS9.
Holy hell, I gotta get an M77. More info on it, Kyle?
I don't suck but it's obviously not as good as the original..gets ya pretty close tho
Pretty cool sister
as electronic engineer who made pedals for almost 30 years wow damn..i say they are good as any overpriced box. Sure more expensive one have ''better'' graphics and a lot better marking lies, hypes, well payed players who lie lie lie just to sell sell sell, but that is ☺ all.
The tone you have set on your amps are already in a OD mode. Why even use a pedal Los Angeles
Otherwise cmon feel the noise
To me, some amps just sound like shit without an Overdrive in the front. Even the expensive ones! The Joyo is maybe not expensive, but is not the best I've ever heard.
I usually like your channel but you are a Metal dude trying to explain pedals I don't think you should be playing. NO hate here.
I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say, care to elaborate?
I don't think you need od with those awesome amps you have. Eq as a boost ? Hey send your hate my way
I love your channel bro. Keep doing what you do.😊
@@brianpark492 no gate, just didn't know what you meant! Different strokes for different folks, but boasting high gain amps is about as common as farts after tacos. They just go together whether you like it or not!
