JOYO JF-01 Vintage Overdrive Guitar Effect Pedal

Product Information

Another classic overdrive pedal, the bright yellow boss SD-1 has a similar tone to a tube screamer but also can be considered to fall into a category all of its own. This pedal has a wide list of notable users through the years, including Eddie Van Halen, Kurt Cobain, Johnny Greenwood (Radiohead) and Joe Satriani. I really like that its enclosure both pays homage to the original TS, and that they put a full-sized knob on for the gain so you can potentially turn it with your foot if you like to use multiple settings.

There’s not too much more to say about the pedals functionality other than what’s been said. Even the manual that’s provided with the product has only two paragraphs. FEATURES Overdrives usually use softer clipping and sometimes only add harmonics without actually clipping the signal, while distortion pedals use much more aggressive hard clipping. After testing it out in our lab, we found it to be a nice overall pedal. While it is not perfectly overdrive or distortion, it is a pretty good general gain pedal for those who need “one that does it all.” The JF-02 Ultimate Drive is actually JOYO’s best-selling pedal as far as we know.As for the tone, it’s a TubeScreamer. Listen to it and get the tone of literally thousands of great guitarists. Does it sound exactly as good as an original TS808 from the 80s? Probably not. But it won’t eat up much space on your board and is sturdy enough for gig use. This controls how much the signal is overdriven/distorted. Most overdrive pedals will go from a clean(ish) sounding boost at the low end of the gain all the way to screaming distortion when it is at it’s maxed setting. Tone/EQ There are several things that make the Joyo JF-01 Vintage Overdrive a steal. Overall it’s an inexpensive, high-quality, true-bypass overdrive pedal. I would be very impressed if someone could tell the difference between the JF-01 and something more expensive. It’s definitely worth every cent. I’ve used one of these pedals, and I loved it, and I’ve hated every other tube screamer pedal I’ve ever plugged into.

Having individual EQs for bass and treble means you can fine-tune your overdrive tone, and makes this pedal popular with bassists because they can overdrive their tone and still retain the deep bass tone they want. The Dumbleweed is a very cool mini pedal that aims to emulate the tone of a Dumble Overdrive Special amplifier, which are known as the most expensive boutique tube amps ever. Here’s what it’s listed for on Reverb (brace yourself.) If you’re a guitarist or know great guitar legends, you’ll know one thing they don’t play with is their pedals. Pedals give your guitar signal unique effects that make your audience want more and more. The JOYO JF-02 Ultimate drive is one of such pedals.After doing [url="http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/sevenstring-org-workbench/103276-tech-pimp-your-ibanez-ts5-tubescreamer.html"]this[/url] mod to my Ibanez TS-5 'soundtank' overdrive, and loving it so much on bass, I thought I'd try the same sort of thing on my Joyo JF-01. I wouldn’t recommend using the JF-01 for playing metal music. Instead I would look into getting the JOYO JF-17 Extreme Metal for that purpose. SOUND While a lot of the effects listed here have been emulations of “classic” overdrives that cost a lot more money, the Ibanez TubeScreamer mini is exactly what it says it is. The legendary and classic TubeScreamer in a mini enclosure.
