How Does A $60 Bass Overdrive Sound This Good??

[@wykkidbass]

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.

[@Caliyork]

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

[@alexcorona]

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.

[@lassebasseish]

@@alexcorona Literal definition of stealing someone's homework. Pedal clones are needed to keep the prices down, though.

[@BillonBass]

I just bought this pedal and it’s the first budget pedal I’ve ever bought. I don’t play with this modern sound often so didn’t want to invest too much. I was so pleasantly surprised! It’s solid and sounds great. I run it through my LS-2 to mix in my clean tone which includes the JptrFX Jive set at low gain with no diodes switched on. It takes just a bit of the edge off the Joyo and sounds absolutely fantastic! It’s a sound I can use now in multiple situations and records beautifully. I live in SE Asia so this pedal didn’t even cost me $50! What a deal!

[@chakwylde]

Literally just been looking at this pedal over the black friday weekend! Glad you've given your take on it and approve of it! Since its mega cheap, I've ordered one 🤘

[@rome8180]

FYI, this pedal is actually $47 on Amazon for Cyber Monday.

[@jvcarvay]

I watched your video and ordered the pedal right away. Thank you!!

[@danegaffney]

Dope review. Just bought one! Excited to try it out.

[@300ampeg]

I have one and love its flaws (like when the volume knob just "gives up" around 3 or 4 o'clock), but hey, it was $52 and it sounds great and integrates well into the pedal board chain.

[@theTrend7]

So it is a piece of trash???😢

[@kurtohnehelm6589]

I ordered this thing right from china some weeks ago and I'm very impressed and in love with it. :D My only gripe are the knobs because they look and feel quiet cheap.

[@fredd036]

Yes, the knobs feel cheap. I bought the bass compressor pedal from Joyo which looks very similar to this pedal

[@lakselv3768]

@@fredd036 Is the compressor pedal good?

[@fredd036]

I like it. Minus the knobs 😆

[@adamnicholson1839]

When you hit the footswitch do you have a delay before it engages? Or is mine faulty?

[@zengroove16]

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 👍

[@barackmycat9448]

Good review.

[@MonserratFoster]

I'd love someone to do a joyo atmosphere pedal review for bass. I can only find guitar ones 😢

[@mossy723]

Bought one off Amazon. Great little pedal, only gripe is the tone knob is quite noisy when pushed past 12 o’clock

[@justanotherguy79]

I love your videos Patrick. I mixed this thing with my OBNE haunt pedal for S&G... try it! It's amazing!

[@josephalaguna]

I have had the opportunity to use both the JOYO and Berhinger pedals . The JOYo pedal has a superior sound.

[@BubbaBass_Official]

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. 🤘🏻♥️

[@groovybasslines]

Soundz great ! 🎸🤟

[@resuta12]

Thanks for this man! Hoping you can review the Joyo Tidal Wave as well.

[@sparella]

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.)

[@rickstout5524]

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?

[@kurdtjohn]

I bought one back in early June. I love the tones I’m getting out of it, but my only gripe with it is the approximately 10-millisecond delay when switching it on.

[@adamnicholson1839]

That is so annoying. Enough to send it back I think

[@kurdtjohn]

@@adamnicholson1839 in hindsight, I should have. But I just learned to live with that. Maybe when I save up enough for a better pedal I’d let it go haha

[@kameronwraithd.k.5363]

I really hope someday JOYO makes a DG DFZ clone :,v

[@1013ministries]

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]

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

[@neurocosm]

HOLY . COW

[@jaredthenuhn]

For demos like this do you use an amp and cab or amp sim and IR? I’m curious what you use because it sounds great!

[@patrickhunter]

Hey Jared! I used my Ampeg SGT-DI for this video and the last couple ones actually, but always check the description of my videos to see what I'm playing through because I like experimenting with my tone all the time! Thanks for watching!

[@jaredthenuhn]

@@patrickhunter awesome! Thanks for the info!

[@danielatherton1631]

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.

[@josephalaguna]

Anyone have any info on how this compares to the Berhinger Bass OD pedal?

[@Mipster_]

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.

[@iamgribs]

It sounds good no denying that.

[@peekaboo4390]

The Harley Benton and this pedal sounds great going to show that you can get great tone for less.

[@WilDBeestMF]

It's **kinda** the B3K but it has its own thing going on. It's cool to have laying around, no doubt.

[@_MetaL]

hey would this work on guitar?

[@mvyper]

It would sound crunchy. Not very high gain.

[@diluteduk]

If Joyo would like to make an affordable copy of the Darkglass X7 that would be great thanks.

[@iLikeD1rt]

Joyo Monomyth

[@diluteduk]

@@iLikeD1rt I think that's the alpha omega

[@rome8180]

@@diluteduk It is, but you should get it. It's amazing.

[@firemarshal2629]

I’ve played well over 100 shows with mine so far and it’s still kicking, and if it breaks I’ll gladly buy another one. Darkglass products are cool but they’re all one trick ponies. Very expensive ponies. Give me a clone any day.

[@2ndEditionBryce]

Never seen your channel before but this was a great review. Picked one up on a cyber Monday deal for $47. Steal.

Joyo compressor

[@Durkhead]

I think the metalzone sounds better

[@sambeussman7239]

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.

[@borisbg]

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.

[@vlamsamsam]

The fact that AGAIN the chineese get away with copying/cloning some product makes me 🤢. Any other company in any other country would get sued. In stead, the chineese get praise for it and for being cheap 🤬

[@rustee_nyfe]

It sounds just awesome. But it is chinese. Sorry, but I'd rather pay x3 than pay Chinese or Russians. But your videos are always cool
