I love the fact that you used a couple of Harley benton models in the demo. Using less expensive gear together gives a more real feel for someone in that budget.

I own one and Joyo did their homework! Love this pedal!

@alexcorona 5 ай бұрын

They didn’t do their homework’s they just stole design from the B3K pedal. The hard thing for pedal makers is that it’s hard to get patents on their design.

I'm very happy with mine. The headphone out saves me an extra piece of gear. (Note that the bypass also bypasses the volume control sent to the headphone out. My headphones have an inline attenuator, so it doesn't bother me.)

I been hearing others playing Joyo gear for 'bout 9 months or so and I've been impressed. So many good Tones for very affordable prices. I only use EHX and Ampeg pedals tho'. If I added another company... it would be Darkglass. However, Joyo has moved up to number 4 on me list of pedal manufacturers. Good video 👍

I absolutely love this pedal, to get that crunchy distortion but still sounding like a BASS is crucial as a rock/metal bassist. As far as the b3k comparison, it most definitely a clone however I full that even with the mid boost switch off it seems to have a little bit fuller sound compared to the b3k with the mid switch ON and still sounded pretty scooped, I like my midrange. 🤘🏻♥️

Ok, I have one and like the sound, however I am a little confused on the signal chain. Are you using into an amp or as a preamp, or both? I need to experiment, say the DT into a B1-4 or Sansamp amp model? Anyone doing that?

Awesome video man! Thank you. Hey so I’m a lifelong guitar player, but recently bought a bass and love it. I was just going to use my pedal board for guitar with my bass, but that brings up a question. What is the difference between distortion and overdrive pedals and bass overdrive pedals?

@mvyper 5 ай бұрын

Bass ones often have a blend knob. This way, you can mix some clean tone with the distortion and bring back the lost bass frequencies

Going through the features, playing lower end basses, great. Everything you say is waffle though. What exactly is laid-back tonality? How is something more boutique? Alphabetti spaghetti of music words. You might as well say it has magic transistors.

@Mipster_ 3 ай бұрын

I have used both and I way, way prefer the Joyo. More usable tones, more variety in sounds, better in low gain and less screechy in high gain, better mids... And honestly my number one plus for the Joyo is the build quality. Most Behringer pedals I have tried are a short-fused time bomb when it comes to the footswitch failing.

Companies like Joyo and Nux are Chinese manufacturing companies that use slave labor and cheap materials in order to create their pedals. They don't create anything new and they just copy circuit boards of other popular pedal companies to try to undercut them. Most of their pedals are just blatant copies of Boss, Darkglass, MXR, Fulltone, and many others with a fresh coat of paint. I'm pretty sure this pedal just a Darkglass BK3 clone. That's why that 60 dollar bass overdrive sounds good. It's easy to make a cheap pedal when you don't do any research and development, use cheap materials, and when you pay your workers poverty wages. I get why people buy these pedals and I don't have an issue with clones overall. Most pedals are copied circuits with some modifications, and that has given us alot of variety in every effect. I also don't think there is anything wrong with a straight clone either. Some pedals are out of print and are outrageous prices, thus clones are needed(however, I will say that a straight clone of a pedal that is still being produced is redundant). However I think its a shame that these companies like Joyo and Nux have been receiving praise from other guitarists. These companies do not play fair and they are very sketchy to say kindly. It is also a shame because there are pedal companies in the west that have a goal to try to be budget friendly while making great product, but they are undercut by companies like Joyo and Nux. EDIT - I apparently just rewrote some of the stuff you said in the video. I probably should have watched the entire video rather than skipping around. I apologies about that.

Don't buy it. What's the problem? Western companies use cheap working facilities in South-east asia and everything is ok. For people as you. But if chinese companies producer some good but cheaper you say it's illegal, they exploite children, women and even pets... Be honest to the end. Your words is white western master indigation. It’s double standartization and it's abusively.
