I notice a difference... a difference in my bank account!!!! LOL

3:00 Dan, thank you for being a champion of us working people. I see dudes every weekend playing through a Strymon Big Sky and Strymon Timeline; 2 pedals that alone are more than most of my combined rig. But folks like yourself, Guitar Max Carlisle and Dave Simpson show us all that you can use gear that doesn’t cost very much and just sound incredible.

Not gonna lie...Joyo makes some good effects for pretty damn cheap

Joyo makes Real good stuff, i have a few and they do there job just fine, and mine has lasted this long with no problem, ive owned them for at least 5 years i know

Definitely sounds spot on. I'm glad there are companies out there making the exact same gear as the bigger (more expensive) companies. Yet charging half the price and the gear is actually good.

No better birthday gift than learning about a good affordable pedal! I also appreciate your recommendation for the Uzi at the end! I’d probably get much more use out of that one!

absolutely loving the new intro and love your videos dan. thanks alot!

Good to have you back with another video! Been waiting. Thanks Dan!!

I've got a Joyo AC Tone pedal that I've been trying to kick off my board for about 4yrs now. Spent hundreds of dollars on "boutique" pedals and I keep coming back to it. Very versatile. Does crunch or soaring leads.

This new intro is DOPE. Love the fact that you kept the leitmotiv people prefered... That perfectly sticks to your channel ^^ Great video, as always!

I live in China and did some research. The company name is pronounced Jo-Yo and is based in Shenzhen (a big electronics city in China). I can buy their stuff even cheaper here 😁

Keep making videos it helps me sooooooo me so much as a musician 🙏

Man! Thanks for showcasing this for people like me. These sound exactly the same to me, and it looks like I can get it for 30 bucks at the lowest! I was looking at getting an old Fulltone Fulldrive and I probably would never have known about this if not for you, so I really appreciate you saving me this money! You just earned a sub from me!

Thank you for you honest reviews, they really help.

That is the Sound I was Looking for, I can't wait to get my hands on one and try it out with my Brian May Red Special thanks for the Demo. Your Awesome and I love the channel.

This video was so good! You came into the new year swinging!

Dang! That pedal sounds great! Dan, keep up the great work and please keep doing what you're doing. It's amazing to have someone finding these great deals that also play and sound great. I love watching your videos!

That’s awesome!! I have been so close to getting the full drive so many times. I want this one now! I have to check out the rest of the new joyo line now too. The trem verb that put out years ago got me into tremolo effect. Can hardly play without it now!

Great review Dan. I recently have really gotten into pedals and your recommendations have been so good. I'm going to definitely get this Joyo pedal. It has the sound I'm looking for. Great job as always!

Dude, you’ve sold me! Been wanting a Fulldrive mosfet for a while now but haven’t been able to set aside the cash. This pedal is the great compromise! Nice review.

I love JOYO pedals, I use the Ultimate Drive pedal with my bass and it is amazing. It adds some dirt and grit without losing any bottom end. Thanks for sharing Dan, I gotta try this pedal out !

This was a great review, and a sick new intro!! Definitely going to be checking out both of these and hopefully purchasing one. Probably the max OD first, it seems more versatile.

Awesome demo! And I LOVE the intro video too!

I’m loving all the new channel stuff!

Been a FD2 user since it first came out and it is an almost always on pedal. Really like the Comp Cut and Flat Mids settings. Must admit, I'm impressed. My biggest concern would be dependability of the Joyo pedal.

I tried listening to it with headphones I tried listening to it with phone speakers I tried listening to it with quality speakers I tried listening to it with a blindfold And I cant Tell any difference that would get my inner perfectionist concerned Holy shit

Omg I want this pedal so badly, that sound is amazing!!!!

I know I'm old & deaf from 50 years of blowing my ears out but those pedals sounded identical. Excellent video.

Great review! I purchased right after watching. Thanks

Keep up the great work. You're helping those of us that aren't able to dedicate a large budget to our gear to still have great sound. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I’m def getting one of those Joyo pedals for my ‘68 silver face Fender Deluxe Reverb amp. Should be a perfect combo! Thanks for the heads up, bro!

Great stuff Dan, i really love that guitar that you are playing

Love these vids!

I mean there is a slight difference, but to be absolutely fair i think that joyo actually sounds Better

Love it! Thank you for the review Dan. I think the Jo-Yo is going to be the first pedal I am going to buy, to test out. Great review!

Nice work!! And like your New intro!!

I listened with headphones and can’t tell the difference. Great job and really great review.

Another great video. Thanks for the tips.👍🤘

Thanks for the great video, I like the fast cut side-by-side comparisons. I have been hesitant to buy Joyo products because I don't have a fair perception yet of their tone quality and build quality. I might give them a try with this box.

I love your channel. Lots of great info. I own a few JOYO pedals and they are great. I also own the Fulltone Fulldrive 3 and it's cool too. The one difference that could be a factor is 'environment'. as in, are you playing an out door gig in extreme heat or cold. That's when things are different. I had a gig in Detroit last summer on a very hot day on an aluminum stage. The stage temp had to be 105 degrees F. Unfortunately, my JOYO pedals did not work at all in the extreme heat. My more expensive pedals did work despite the high stage temp. Hey, I still love JOYO and I will buy from them again. But, the temp factor did affect the operation of the JOYO pedals. But, if you aren't playing a gig in extreme temp conditions the lower priced stuff is great. This is NOT a slam on JOYO , I love my JOYO pedals. Just keep in mind that more expensive components might be more reliable in extreme conditions. ....and once again.....some more expensive pedals might fail in high temps, but, not as likely. Rock on everyone. BE SAFE. LOVE JOYO!!

Good deal, I might just get one. Thanks for the review.

Joyo has a lot of quality pedals. I've been using the Vintage Phaser, Ultimate Drive & Dyna Compressor for a few years now, no problems at all. Sounds great, and the cost is unbeatable.

Sounds like a great deal! Thanks for the vid. Now I'm eagerly awaiting your review of the Uzi (pedal). On second thought.....how awesome would a review video of the Uzi (pedal) and the Uzi (gun) be!! I wonder how a bass would sound through that...might have to get one and find out!

Indeed. Impressive. Good job man and thanks for testing

I appreciate the research.....and the longer bars so you can appreciate how the pedal reacts to different kind of playing

I love my Joyo Vintage Overdrive, but I’ve wanted a little more adjusting. Glad to see you put out a detailed review on the tones for this pedal, picking one up soon !

Lately I am following your tips. Got amazing in ear monitors and I’m just about to order this pedal.

is this pedal good as ts9 or sd1 in terms of boosting amp and main drive?

Vintage overdrive has never left my board. I was looking into buying a full drive but I didnt realize joyo had made this. Take my money!

I couldnt tell the difference. Both sounded great. Another great review Dan!

Wow that Joyo pedal sounds WAY better than I expected! I may need to add one of those to my life

I bought one because of this review, absolutely love it. I don't have a Fulltone to compare it to, but the versatility is great, thanks for the review!

Great comparison. Thanks!

After seeing this video, I bought the Joyo. And you were right, it sounds amazing!

Love the new intro!

Cool new intro!!

Thanks for another good video!

Bro ı want your help. I have a guitar project but it is not good now. guitar is orginally 22 fret and ı modded it to 24. now ı have buzz from truss rod etc. ıt is not a big problem. but my guitar has no intonation. ı really tried intonate it but no change. what can i do about it ?

I love these kinds of videos Joyo does make nice pedals. I bought a sweet baby used and sounds great. Similar to the soul food which I asking have and for less money. Can't wait for the UZI review.

Cool Dan ,thanks for the heads up!

they sound the same but have an insane price difference, thank you for showing us this pedal in a great side-by-side comparison!

I love the new intro!

I have a Boss ME80 - going into a HotRod V4 - Im looking to get better overdrives and distortions. The Boss is OK, but Im thinking I can do better., Might just get the Fulltone Plimsoul again and be done with it. Will the Joyo deliver? Is it NOISY? Joyo's are known to be.

Fantastic side by side!!! BTW which kit guitar are you playing???

Very good comparison.... congrats ...greetings from Brazil

I can really tell that your guitar skills have been improving! keep up the good work and that pedal has a really sweet tone

New intro is great!

Awesome video!!! So usefull!!

That guitar looks absolutely stunning, would like to make that myself

I've been eyeing FD2 for awhile because it's pretty widely used in worship settings, but $150+ has kept me away. $58 however... I may need one of these soon. Thanks, Dan!

Man, that purple les paul is insane, by far my favorite build that you've done. You've inspired me to sand down one of my guitars and have some fun staining it. Oh and I ordered that baroque file to start messing with frets, I wasn't sure about doing that, but your videos give me confidence!

Picked up a used one for $40 bucks. Really good actually. Better than a tube screamer and stacks well with other distortion pedals.

Do you think sometime you could do a guitar kit build using a Kahler tremolo? I’m pretty curious because they’re supposed to be easier to install than a floyd rose. Love your videos man!

Does the boost switch of the joyo maximum also function independently or will it only work if the overdrive switch is on?

I really cant hear the diference at all either, i mean i can but its really i sifnificant for the $100 difference!! Really enjoy ur vids alot!! Love the way how ur always looking to help every one how to save more than just a penny!! Thnx for all your efforts and all your help!!! Blessings!!$

Dan, spot on assessment - can’t tell the difference!

Great review, I cant tell too much of a difference. Also I love that guitar still

This is a great review!

Got my FD-2 for 50 bucks. Basically brand new. Telling you guys have connections if you can. I still can’t thank my buddy enough for helping get my first drive pedal for church. (3 years ago lol)

Yep. Sounds the same to me. I'm a big fan of joyo pedals. Their vintage overdrive and sweet baby overdrive sound good too.

Great video thanks for showing me that more money doesn't mean better

What?!?! Joyo is stepping up their game! Thanks so much for this, Dan! You and GuitarMax have really helped with shaping my tone!

Damn it, i love this les paul. I've Just bought a harley benton diy guitar kit and i can not decide if i want it in purple, blue, or something like you did on your Jaguar Bass.

Dammit! Now i'm going to hear that silly lick in my head for the next week!! :) I liked the Fulltone on the chords but actually liked the Joyo on the lead notes better... now I guess I'll have to get both :(

Hey bro when you said hd clip is a compressor does that mean that if u have it on hd clip that it’s a drive and compression pedal?

Hey Mr Dan - Do you have any half the price amp head recommendations? I want to build a cabinet but don't have the skills or patience to build my own head.

considered buying one of these babies a while back, wasn't sure but I'm definitely gonna do back and do it now!

I like your channel glad to know you play at your church says alot about you. Can I ask another stupid quwation ypir doing pedals I have a Roland cube amp that Im just not happy with the sound. I see you use a pc with logic pro I jave been wantong to setup my compouter and was planning on uaimg only for music to play along with then realized your using your pc for an amp am I right? How? Plug the guitar into what? please advise if you can

the JOYO D-SEED is one of the best delays I've used.

You’re on to something dude 👌 I want one 👍

hi man, really nice video :D any chance You know where can I find this pedal to be shipped outside US (Mexico) most of the really cool stuff in Amazon does not ship internationally and, have You tried string butlers on Les pauls? there´s a rumour that it fix the tunning issues due to the headstock shape/string alignment

@Guns and Guitars I am starting my TL Build. I'm going with a humbucker in the neck, quarter pounder in the bridge, and a bigsby tremolo. I am using one of your links to buy the guitar, and was wanting links to the parts so that I can help support your channel too.

Great comparison... have you tried any Joyo stuff before? Curious if it is dependable.

Dan those sound exact to me. Heck yeah, I may pick one of those up. Interested in what amp you have.

I bought a joyo American overdrive and it’s my favorite pedal .

would this work for bass? does it sound good for low end?

Sounds great! My main concern is reliability. Is the Joyo pedal built solid? OD pedals need to be very rugged for me, I constantly turn them on and off. That's something that the Fulltone provides, it's a tank.

My pedal board is made up of Joyo and Donner pedals (all under $50) and I definitely agree with you. Most if not all the clone pedals are basically the exact same circuits but with maybe slightly cheaper parts or manufacturing processes. I would definitely consider buying this if I feel I need this...which I might...

They sound similar…but how to they feel and sound in a “live setting” I love my full drive I’ve tried for years to kick it off my board…from my cold dead hands I say…but this is a good alternative if you don’t feel like shelling out the extra money
