Looks like a great pedalboard. I need to watch the American joyo pedal vlog as I bought one many moons ago and have yet to use it very much. Out of these 3, so far, I’m more inclined towards the California style pedal but will look forward to you demoing all. Good idea to do a giveaway. It’s a win for your channel, Joyo, and some lucky winner.

Love how you covered the sleek design features… The shake test was impressive too. Joyo always seems to impress as far as functionality. The smart design seems accommodating as far as various size pedals from mini to oversized and the design looks like it would hold odd shapes as well (round, non square, non rectangular, etc). Really appreciated the detail. Joyo pedals have that flexibility that when you dial them in they are wonderful will the clips hold lower/higher profile pedals too?

I had the opportunity to buy a Squier Bullet Tele in AU a similar price point runout deal when Fender was running them out in late 2022 to be superseded in that market demographic segment by the Sonic series. After playing/owning it for 18 months, my conclusion is that in it Squier finally had a product which could actually rival Yamaha's base entry level 012 Pacifica on equal terms in terms of price, playability, build quality and overall finish as an entry level guitar, the two different configurations notwithstanding. If one can pick one up for the kind of SALE price point you did, just do it. They are a steal. They are even solid buying at the regular street price (RSP vs SRP). Worth pointing out. There is a difference between Squier Teles for the US market vs many places in ROW. US market gets Bullet Teles which are Made in Indonesia like yours. In AU for instance, the distro imports Chinese made units limited to just two colour schemes. The BQ and finish of the Chinese units are superb, and the pickups albeit still ceramic, of different origin and superior in terms of kOhm output. The Chinese models are top loaders as I noticed the one you have is. Previous Indonesian parallel year models (e.g. 2022) used to be string through, so not sure if they're changed that since or? String through is of aesthetic traditional curmudgeon appeal only in this guitar IMV. Makes no tonal difference, & in fact top load is preferred from a string change perspective. After a setup, playable as is with nothing but a string change. IME they'll need to be replaced within six weeks when the high E or B breaks, so may as well do it during initial full setup after that initial tune & play we all do straight out of the box. My neck was perfectly finished (smooth on the reverse) & a good looking piece of maple too. Surprisingly, fret ends were finished all the way up the nick & absent any fret sprout. Frets were level too, but they definitely needed a polish as they had that factory protectant grunge all over them. The fingerboard was dry. On my example, the tuners work in that they do do the job and hold tune, but are basic in mech op & feel. No need for immediate replacement but it is a consideration for later down the track as this guitar is otherwise a player & worth it. The pickups. 6kOhm on the Chinese version. They are ceramics, and tone is OK in class. Fine for a beginner to learn with. This is the area where one can turn this into a very good guitar with installation an inexpensive Korean Wilkinson alnico pickup set, pots & capacitor. Most important part. It plays well in the hand. Even the tall traditional frets it is fitted with vs medium jumbos are pleasant. It has a nice C neck profile, pleasing 9½" radius just comfortable overall feel. Mine came in on the heavy... ish side at 3.5kg (just under 7¾lb in your money) considering it's allegedly a Poplar body, and the Bullet 'thinner than regular Tele slab' at that. Made me suspect mine is actually a hybrid assembly. i.e. a previous year surplus to production top load Affinity Alder body after production was transferred to Indonesia. The weight seems about right for that. Who would know without stripping the paint off? Either way, I'm not complaining nor disappointed. Mine was the Black with white pickguard, the other choice being a two tone Sunburst. NLA in AU unfortunately superseded by the Sonic series at a similar SRP, which if as good get my tick of approval. Well done Fender/Squier.

Yes, thus the question mark in the title and what I said at the end. The pickups were meh. Not buying Guitar Madness picks ever again. Tuners are ok as tuners but not for eliminating the string tree… however on another guitar I have they did allow me to get rid of the string trees… so your mileage may very.

What I can't get a clear answer to, is does the button that switches presets always have to switch between clean, overdrive, dist, and high gain? Or can it cycle through 4 different clean sounds? Can I save it to where i push the button and it's dry clean, push it again it's clean with slapback delay, 3rd press and it's clean with reverb and trem, etc?

Current electrical code mandates that the hot lead of the power cord go to the fuae first and then to the switch, before continuing on to the power transformer. Using a transformer bolt as a ground is both a bad idea and against electrical code because, despite the integral star washers, those nuts do loosen up from heating and cooling cycles that cause expansion and contraction (the transfomer laminates alse expand and contract); the vibrations of transporting the case and playing through the amp are also good at loosening fasters. Find another, more secure fastener to use for the earth ground connection.

Really great video! At one point I owned a Viper and a Breadwinner. Like an idiot, when I got laid off at one point I sold them both. They were both really great guitars. Ovation isn't the only company that failed at making electric solid body guitars. Taylor made them for a few years and they were excellent guitars but like Ovation, no one bought them so they were discontinued. I almost bought one of the Taylor models and now regret not doing so.

@@toddbriley7197 There's always going to be feedback. The humbucker pickups are just that - pickups. They'll pickup sound from the room regardless of where it comes from. It's not a microphone in the sense that you can sing into them and expect the sound to come out as clear song. Feedback happens even on large stage productions, and it is ALWAYS due to volume being pushed too hard. People who tell you that there's two volume knobs on the guitar are wrong.. The "volume" on the effects button is the effects volume, and the "real" volume is the gain control. If you get feedback, lower gain. It's the absolute only way to remedy it.
