JOYO Overdrive Guitar Effect Pedal Amplifier Simulation Distortion Pedal for Electric Guitar - Bypass (Oxford Sound JF-22)

Unless you're looking for a signature pedal sound, this is a solid, cost-effective option. It has a great sound (imho), is sturdy, and has a lot of options for a 35$ no-name pedal. I play a lot of classic/roots rock on a semi-hollow Gretsch and like to add just a touch of growl. This pedal fits the bill. You may have a different opinion. But for the price, it's definitely worth a try. Hell, you can always return it.

this pedal sounds dope for its price I was surprised how good it is. Been having fun with it I use it to either add a great warm distortion sound that you don’t get with overdrive pedal. It also gives a good boost and widens the sound with the fuzz turned down. and it’s pink so yeah, it’s pretty great.

This pedal is a steal for the price. Works great, although make sure you order a powercord, it doesn't come with one.

Very good pedal, built very well, stock mode is fantastic for the classic RAT sound either, fat mode is great for anyone wanting to have a thick lead tone for like a solo. Mosfet and stock mode im still learning but don't much of a difference, gotta tweak with it more. Volume,filter,and gain are excellent in which it does everything a RAT should. I give this pedal an 8/10, I highly recommend checking out this pedal. Nice Graham Coxon,Dave Grohl,Peter Buck, latest 80s/90s classic sounds

Great pedal with super deep sound great for metal

Five Stars for the pedal itself, and five stars for the concept of a Rat pedal. It’s well built—just like all of the other Joyo pedals I own. I don’t foresee any problems with it. All the knobs and buttons and switches function. There is no noise or hiss (other than what is to be expected when the gain is cranked up). Definitely worth the money. I don’t know that it will last for decades like some of the gnarly, beat-up rat pedals that dad rockers have been stomping on since the 90s. But I’m not buying pedals for my kids’ inheritance. As long as I can get a couple good years out of it, I’m happy. For a while I have been stacking overdrives to get a heavy distortion sound. I put off buying a rat (or this Splinter) because I figured it would be redundant and not offer anything I couldn't already dial in by stacking my Klon clone, tube creamer, and/or Timmy clone. I was wrong. Those sounds are all great and useful, but with just one click and no stacking, I get that raw, aggressive tone I have been hunting for. With the distortion low, it sounds a lot like my Klon. A few turn of the knobs and I can go from tight hair metal to chuggy doom metal to fuzzy grunge. It’s fantastic. I’ll still play around with stacking, but it’s nice to finally have a one-and-done pedal that gives me the exact sounds I want.

Does what is says on the tin. A number of different switching options and zero noise. Lots of fun to blend the 2 effects channels and experiment with tones.

TL;DR -Great sounding ambient tones -But it's just too much; it lacks versatility with other modes like spring and plate -Instructions are very lacking ATTACHED PHOTO -An image of the instruction manual THE REVIEW This is not a bad pedal for ambient sounds, which is what I bought it for. However, it would also be nice if the other traditional reverbs were usable. They are not ... at least for me. Here are my issues with the pedal ... IT LACKS NUANCE -With the decay and mix turned as low as they will go, the echo continues on for a few seconds. It's just too much, even on settings such as room or spring. There are sometimes when you just want about a second or less of reverb, and with this pedal, it's extremely difficult to dial in these settings. Unless I have a broken pedal, when I turn the mix and decay down to 0, there is no reverb at all, and you have to turn it up about 10 percent before you finally start hearing reverb. The problem is, by this point, you're already pretty heavy into the mix. There's just no subtlety or nuance. INSTRUCTIONS (or lack thereof) -This device is not intuitive. The default behavior of this pedal is to save the last setting you used on each mode. For example, if you use shimmer with the mix and decay turned up, then switch to room and turn down those settings, the pedal will remember your last settings and use those -- even though the knobs will show that you have these settings turned down. And I get that this feature may be useful in certain situations, but it's certainly not useful all the time. Another issue with this is that as soon as you move any knob after swapping modes, the lights will annoyingly flash quickly, and can only be stopped by long-pressing on the right pedal. There is a manual, but it's only 2 pages and while it lists features, it doesn't show how to use those. It lists features like trail mode on/off, preset mode, etc., but it's trial and error to figure out, and as I mentioned earlier, this is not an intuitive pedal, and I've owned over 200 different pedals, so I'm not a novice. It would be nice if I could turn off the memory feature. It can sometimes be confusing to look at the knobs in one position but to hear something entirely different. OHTER ISSUES -I'm also encountering an intermittent issue where the pedal will power up and immediately power back down. I sometimes have to plug it out and back in several times, but so far -- knock on wood -- it has always come on eventually. -Like with other Joyo pedals, it's very difficult to read the text on the pedals in certain lighting. I also own the Joyo Vision and it's the same way. And now, for the positive. ... AMBIENT REVERBS ARE NICE -I'm not a huge fan of the shimmer on this one. It has a very synthetic sound and is a bit harsh, even with the highs turned down. It's not bad, but I much prefer the shimmer on my RV-6 and my Polara. However, I do like the Reverse and Dream modes. The plate reverb is nice, though I do wish it were a little more subtle on the lower settings. Some of these modes just tend to slap you in the face with reverb. OTHER COOL STUFF -Another nice thing is that you are able to turn the mix up all the way so that your initial guitar sound is muted and all you hear is the effect. This is great for ambient swells. -I also like the looks of the pedal and the lights in front and back. They give it a nice, modern look, and if you like LEDs -- like I do -- it's a nice aesthetic touch. FOUR-STARS INSTEAS OF THREE? Overall, I struggled with the star rating on this. If all you want is an ambient reverb that whacks you over the head with those sounds, then consider this a four-star pedal However, if, like me, you are looking for something a bit more versatile that, in addition to lush ambient tones, also provides very utilitarian types of gigging reverbs like plate and spring, then stick with the three-star review.

Great tones for price point, transparent mid tone heaven.

The Joyo King of Kings (Dual Crunch) is a dual overdrive pedal, meant to give an analog sounding distortion. It can be set for very subtle overdrive (distorts only when playing more aggressively), or full overdrive, where the lead guitar has a very beautiful violin-like tone and sustain. I like all the adjustment options that come with this pedal, so you can customize the tone just to your liking. The construction, and even the packaging, are top-notch. Seems to be low noise also.

Really great fuzz tone! Build quality is top notch. An excellent affordable pedal punching well above its weight

super ça fait le taff et moins cher que le boss. il a un format un peu plus grand mais ça passe.

Good quality sound.
