Vintage Overdrive: Good for Blues and Mellow Rock Ultimate Drive: Good for Hard Rock and Soft Metal
@2112GTR11 жыл бұрын
These pedals sounds brilliant, especially since they cost so little. they may be "cheap" to buy but sound natural which is what most people are looking for. The Vintage Overdrive is smooth and sweet sounding, and is better suited to blues or blues rock in my opinion. The Ultimate Drive is a heavy rock to metal sound with more gain on tap and great harmonic content. I think considering the price of the pedals, I'd say it's a "no brainer" and get both!!!

Ultimate Drive is so underrated as a boost, it boosts like nothing else and better than any TS pedal out there
@danielforto10165 жыл бұрын
How do you use it as boost? What settings? Can it boost a drive pedal?
@Mr.Goldbar5 жыл бұрын
@@danielforto1016 the common way to boost with a drive pedal is level at 10 and gain at 0 to make the amp sound tighter and have more gain. Some pedals sound better when the tone knob is at noon but I prefer my Ultimate Drive with the tone knob set at 10 as well. Most people use Tube Screamer pedals for this purpose, but I much prefer my Ultimate Drive. I also use a Klon style pedal with lower level and higher gain to give the amp a nice smooth lead tone

Has anyone noticed that many of the these YT demos are just a way of forcing you to listen to the posters play way too long for each setting. Dude! Play a power chord and let it decay, then a short riff then move on to the next setting. I could demo two overdrives in four minutes. I had to bail after one minute. Joyo pedals are inexpensive clones of popular pedals and for the price you can't go wrong.

Great demo. I have both of these pedals. It's amazing how good they sound for the price that you pay. A Tube Screamer TS9 costs a lot more. They are great pedals for sure. But is the price difference the same as the sound difference? Well, that all depends on what you really want. If you need to see a Tube Screamer in your pedalboard the answer is yes. But none of your guitar pals is going to be able to tell the difference once you're splitting atoms with your band. haha. These two pedals from JOYO are great. Especially when your gig is in the combat zone of where most of the good live entertainment bars are located. These pedals cost less than a good pizza. Pick up one or both. Rock on!!

It depends i guess. But, fyi, i sold the ultimate drive and kept the green one. VO has specific sound people said, its mid boosted, and has a bit rolled off top end. In that sense it might not be versatile for some people. The UD has enough gain for mid gain drive, it can be used as a booster too. But in my case, the VO as a booster is classic, good for boosting a high gain amp, deflub a bassy or flubby amp, and cut harshness of a brittle amp. The UD in my experience a bit picky on amps. if the clean channel, the drive sound is not that pleasant, a bit flubby and dull (on a good amp like a Marshall stuff is great), and as a booster, i feel a tube screamer type is better and easier to dial. If you already got an amp with a drive sound you love, VO might be better for you. But if all you get is a clean amp/tone, then you can try UD for more rock stuff. (UD has way more gain, VO drive has clean sound mixed in)
