Hey Taylor, I just found you here on YT! I'm hitting the subscribe button for sure! I have this pedal as well and bang for buck, it rips!! I run mine through the front of my vk100 mk1 and I noticed you're going through your loop. I'm going to do the same and see how much of a difference it makes. I didn't know it had a preamp built into it! You've opened my eyes, lol!

[@Ronny1031]

That's a wicked sounding pedal! I'm pretty stoked to have been drawn for it! Thanks, Taylor!

[@denverrandy7143]

Congrats Man

[@idiotkid2828]

I ordered one yesterday, watching this now, I'm happy to see I made a pretty good choice!

[@davidcaro8217]

How do you like it now?

[@belligerentamateur]

You say wompy. I say flumpy. Neither are words. Both are awesome.

[@DarrenWaters75]

I understand them both and for some reason I hear two different types of sloppy bottom being described here. Womby is more mid rangey (rangey is a word now) and Flumpy relates more to the lows...

[@search895]

Flompy Wompy sounds like a Wombat. They shit bricks, literally.

[@kuzWich]

Get a wombat! Build a house 🏠

[@TaylorDanley]

It reminds me of the adults in the peanut cartoons "womp womp womp womp womp womp" 😂

[@thefuneralparade]

I say flub

[@claesvanoldenphatt9972]

I had to get one of these, the same price as a 12AX7 preamp tube. I’ve been using it on the clean channel of my Ampeg VH140C, with an even cheaper Behringer Tub Screamer klone. It sounds pretty vicious. The amp’s other channel is the quintessence of 90s death metal (only needs the TS to push over top into monster brootalz). So with just the TS & the Joyo I have a solid state stereo chorus amp with spring reverb with 3 levels of usable gain. The clean channel has a great low-gain range that runs to crunchy overdrive on its own but the Joyo pedal really compliments its strengths as a beefy amp with girthy toanz.

[@christophergardner7843]

I also own a VH140C combo I use as a head to a matching cab. You just answered my question without me asking. Thanks.

[@labyzoune5751]

Has a 7 string player myself, i'm happy to see you with your 7 strings a lot lately.

[@sashabagdasarow497]

Yo! 7 string gang here! Got a 7 string too and I love it.

[@CheapGearJunkRiffs]

I've got this badass pedal myself and I couldn't be happier 😀🤘. 33 bucks on a sale I think I paid . Ill be getting the Uzi as well, thanks joyo and great video dude.

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks!

[@andrews6505]

I missed this review by a year, but glad I found it. I've had this pedal for a while and dig it, and I really liked your mix .. subscribed ;)

[@TaylorDanley]

Welcome! 🥳

[@theguitarnoobph]

What a great review. And a fun raffle too. Hahah! Will consider this pedal. Thanks.

[@matthewblackwell6366]

I have one of these. I stack it with Joyo Hot Plexi, and a Joyo ultimate overdrive. All running into a Joyo Jackman II. I also have a Joyo analog delay and chorus running into the effects loop. To me it sounds great.

[@thedanksavatron7782]

Not bad for a budget pedal! I have the caline tantrum same layout but it's more Black Sabbathish sounding. Keep on keeping on brother 🍻

[@TaylorDanley]

🙌

[@robertroberts8532]

I have this pedal. It’s great. And room for tweaking. Best bottom chug. Only bad thing is treb needs to be all the way. That being said it’s a great metal pedal

[@frednance3988]

Thanks for telling me what this is based on. I just got mine from Amazon this moring. I plan to get one a Diezel pedal since AMT are more money and getting hard to find.

[@barryprosser1370]

Congrats Ronny!!! Pedal sounds great dude.

[@KPGuitarStudios]

Congrats Ronny 🤘 Definitely a surprising pedal. I got an Orange tone at first and then it certainly slid in the Recto direction with some tweaking. Next world tour rig: a guitar and just this pedal haha

[@TaylorDanley]

Same. Cool pedal, super bright!

[@ganglu]

I thought the same. The first few notes I was thinking Mastodon.

[@KPGuitarStudios]

@@TaylorDanley It gets tear your head off bright yes. Sounded solid though

[@KPGuitarStudios]

@@ganglu Curl of the Burl haha. It had that spongey kind of dark tone. It's a pedal with lots of range

[@metalfather8139]

you killed it with your contrast tone on the axe.fx. showed how much bottom end is missing... hope everyone used good headphones or monitors

[@TaylorDanley]

I probably could have brought some back in and dialed back the boost, but the low end is a little boxy from the pedal, vs the AxeFx having a really boomy thick low end.

[@jonathanthomas6191]

I have the Caline Tantrum, which is supposedly the same circuit. I like running it through the front of my amp as a really tight fuzz. I generally hate fuzz too, but this stays very musical.

[@kristaps1337]

Those are supposedly metal muff copies, no? Which are like 50 bucks themselves now.

[@aftertheendtimes]

This pedal sounds great @ that price, and one can get many sounds out of this Joyo pedal i love how brutal setting one can get,...a funny side note is that The Re-brand version Harley Benton has this same pedal with just the Halley Benton Extreme Metal printed on it, and it is made by Joyo, and cost the half price around 35 $ @ Thomann and you see Rewiews on The Harley Benton exact the same pedal with just other Brand Name and they says it is crap and the boost is unusable,....and totally dissmis it,...so it is nice to see you Taylor show the beauty of this pedal,...I have the HB version of it and some others in this series,..Thank´s for awesome content wherever i want to see honest rewiews, you deliver,...keep Chugin´ Love cheers :)

[@chrisjl84]

I just bought this pedal and am running it through my Twin Reverb.... It sounds incredible!

[@DavidAllenMD]

Is it quiet? Or noisey

[@dreamsofcosmicoceans8105]

So basically you get an awesome clean tone and a badass distortion tone.

[@apoplexiamusic]

Holy balls! The Joyo actually sounds better in the mix! More high mids it seems

[@TaylorDanley]

Yeah, I couldn't get the AxeFx there without totally tweaking it with an additional EQ. To me, the clipping is quite a bit different, the Joyo has more of a classic SS clipping sound, and the AxeFx really does a good job of recreating the gain sound of an actual tube.

[@darthshaggy9970]

this was my first high gain pedal and i fuckng love it! i got just 1 year because i fry it with a bad ac adapter but sounds massive with my ltd mh350 and a fender frontman 65r

[@manson9083]

This pedal just arrived on my doorstep, glad i bought it.

[@Steve_the_Bastard]

Sounds crazy good for the price....great vid man...

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks!

[@timothysloan1696]

I like what here I just ordered it from Amazon thanks for the videos I always trust your judgement

[@edcollins9377]

Nice amp, I bet your neighbors love you!

[@lichkrieg4898]

dude. I just got an Ibanez rgms8 and it's pretty sick guitar for $599 you should check out the 7 or 8 string.

[@scottbrown9008]

Joyo pedals are really great sounding and the prices of them are very inexpensive, Amazon is the best place to purchase them

[@MrCoalmin]

Finally a channel as good as Ola's! 😂

[@MilkoOfficialChannel]

With the boost the thing really gets quite rectifying

[@DaRkGrimm101]

6:01 oh i remember the time i 1st bought my Boss MT2 infront of my amp..

[@fabiandeth]

Joyo Extreme Metal VS Behringer Ultra Metal 🤘🎶👊

[@CheapGearJunkRiffs]

Got em both !

[@fabiandeth]

@@CheapGearJunkRiffs Which of the two do you like the most? I only have the behringer

[@CheapGearJunkRiffs]

@@fabiandeth I'd have to go with the ultra metal out of all 3 however I enjoy them all 🤘

[@thedanksavatron7782]

Behringer HD300 heavy distortion has a bit more clarity IMO. Just needs alil boost of the mids & it's a ChugLord⚔️

[@lichkrieg4898]

I dig the ultra metal through a tube amp fx loop, darker more low mid heavy powe amps sound great.

[@kevinrichards7980]

Metalmuffs are wicked as a preamp

[@jamesjohanson5675]

that thing at around 3-30 sounds great.. the second riff especially!!!! ♥

[@denverrandy7143]

Sounds Great!!!I've been curious if the Amptweaker Tight Metal pedal is the same internally as it used to be since they changed all the outer stuff.just curious if that's all they changed.

[@michaelbarber590]

Wish you would demo the Mosky TW, which is a clone of the Wampler Triple Wreck.

[@gaskolbi]

I own a ehx metal muff and the extrem metal is very similiar to that. I use booth as a preamp direct in an mooer radar and what should i say. It is realy inspired by a mets muff! Greating from Germany :-)

[@jimmyx4599]

I bought this metal extreme pedal I don't know what to think because I am waiting fo😊r it to be posted today. Thank you for testing it.Can you test amount metal pedal please.

[@wolfmauler]

I know you're just messin around, but I love your playing on this one lol

[@user-gy4xg4id8t]

God cant wait ti get this pedal

[@kcrich1310]

Two things: 1. The "wompy" sound went away when the boost kicked on. 2. To my tone deaf and tinnitusized ears the Joyo actually stood out in the mix better than the Axe Effects..........

[@TaylorDanley]

It definitely stood out more. Much more present. But I would say objectively that the AxeFx for sure recreates the sound of tube clipping, vs the Joyo sounding very much like solid state clipping. In a mix, I don't think anyone would ever know. Pretty surprised that the pedal sounded that close to the Mesa Dual Rec patch though!

[@kcrich1310]

@@TaylorDanley Ok here's a question for you. If you're playing live and you had to choose would you go with solid state clipping knowing your guitar would be heard clear in the mix or tube clipping with the chance your guitar might not punch through as well?

[@TaylorDanley]

@@kcrich1310 Neither, I'd go with modeling so that I have full control of the sound 😂Although, I guess technically it's solid state?

[@jordanf451]

Question: With that Ibanez, a 5150 head amp and a Mesa cab, wouldn't even a can of tomato paste sound great?

[@Petesplayinagain]

Good point. If you're playing through a mesa cab, you're bound to sound rectifier with just about any decent distortion

[@kingkong7695]

hey man could you do a video on combining this with the daphon df2210 wah pedal, much appreciated and love the vids bro.

[@lordabortion2172]

Check out the Biyang metal end distortion pedal. Best distortion pedal for around 50 bucks

[@soothan86]

That sounds wicked man I need one

[@jenyahp2828]

I see no mic in front of the cab. Are you using a Torpedo (or something similar) and the cab is only for monitoring? Great video! Cheers mate!

[@TaylorDanley]

Both. I use a torpedo captor to capture the sound and usually add an IR in post (sometimes I monitor with one also), and then I’ll use the cab to monitor. Even when I do mic, I like to capture the direct signal from the amp through the captor as well as a back up

[@carlosalfaro1777]

Please test the audio assault hell beast v2 !!

[@TaylorDanley]

It's on the schedule!

[@WhoDaF0ok1sThatGuy]

So basically I can put the boost to max and use my Stratocaster or Black Metal? What a steal!😂

[@commonsensehill372]

Purchased because of this video and... I subbed ya and liked this video long time.

[@zAvAvAz]

Metal begins 2:55

[@valeroharold]

Hi Dear Taylor!. Can I get a Glam Metal or Neoclassical Tone with this Pedal?. Thanks!!!. Awesome your review.

[@NutsTesticles]

I always thought this was a Triple Rec style preamp not a metal muff

[@JLE999]

It’s just a metal muff clone. Caline Tantrum is the same pedal.

[@sashabagdasarow497]

Hey Taylor! Great demo! I'm choosing between this and TC Electronic fangs. What would you recommend between these two?

[@xdreampcs8554]

I am curious about the Fangs myself. Saw a demo of it and loved the tones

[@sashabagdasarow497]

@@xdreampcs8554 actually, I went for Behringer Ultra Metal in the end. I think it's just the best decision of all

[@xdreampcs8554]

@@sashabagdasarow497 I purchased a Joyo Uzi. Ill let you know what I think of it. I have a Joyo British pedal and I love it.

[@chrisstrong3748]

I used to have a Joyo Extreme and a NuX Metal or Metalcore or whatever it's called. Both really easy to dial in a sick tone with going into a good clean channel. The gain of the Joyo always sounded a little weird to me though, even when I first started playing. Got a Biyang Metal-End King when the Joyo died and that thing is awesome. They're like 60 bucks now too.

[@michaelmg6032]

The bad thing about the biyant is the volume is on 10 million and it only works for live use

[@Rickyperez02]

Is this a pre amp also?

[@kuzWich]

Looks like a Killer pedal for its price tag

[@TaylorDanley]

💯

[@johncarlsencio9788]

So have you ever try the joyo Uzi distortion?

[@johnriley8314]

New subscr here man....good stuff . Enjoyed the info on this pedal im fixing to purchase for CHEAP on F/Book Marketplace...lol Stay Safe and PEACE

[@TaylorDanley]

Thanks for the sub! 🙏

[@matttttt8272]

I feel like the metal muff didn’t sound nearly as good as this pedal so got rid of it, the Joyo came today which some say is a clone of the metal muff but seems more like the tech 21 wreck clones? Life is hard and confusing. Sounded awesome tho here good job man!

[@SunnySuzu_]

How do I make it less noisy? Mine makes this unbearable siren noise whenever the volume is set high

[@strom1549]

Noise gate or suppression

[@datner76]

Nux, joyo and Behringer pedals are worth the money..my favourite is the Nux Plexi, Nux mod core and the Joyo Aquarius reverb, Behringer fuzz is such a good fuzz pedal..not even considering the price.. To me, the Behringer fuzz is the ultimate cheap pedal.

[@dropemogu]

I have this too, but mine doesn't sound like that and also you have better gear than mine, that's why it sound good My gear: Fender Aerodyne Telecaster Amp samick 15watts

[@FulcrumsEdge]

Taylor, I own both, and I actually like my Joyo more if only for the fact that the knobs have a more linear staging and feel more balanced throughout the knobs range of motion. That, and the footswitch on my EHX METAL MUFF has been cutting in and out for a long fucking time and its intermittently failing at the most innopportune times, annoying... very annoying. Otherwise tonally, Joyo hit it pretty much smack dab right in the EHX'S nuts on this one.

[@TaylorDanley]

Awesome, thanks for letting me know! I've never used the Metal Muff, so I had no idea how close they were.

[@rossbalch]

The QC on the Metal Muff range is pretty poor. I've had the full metal muff and the micro muff, both broke in one way or other.

[@BA99253]

I had the metal muff and I can confirm it did not sound good. The top boost was completely unusable and it sounded crappy without it engaged.The joyo doesn’t sound that bad for being like 30 bucks.

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Awesome pedal

[@anneroy4890]

I thought running a distortion pedal in the fx loop wasn't recommended. I have an 25 watt ENGL Ironball combo with a built in Powersoak. I wouldn't want to damage the amp, which is what some people say happens, when you use the pedal as your preamp. If say I use my clean channel, the pedal in the loop, would using the Powersoak 1Watt or 5Watt (I live in an apartment building) be an issue? My only concern is damaging the amp. The ENGL is high gain, but sometimes, I want that Rectifier sound.

[@salzulli6290]

It can't damage the amp. It's the exact same as using the amp's preamp. It's not recommended to run the amp preamp into a distortion pedal in the fx loop because you're processing a tube tone with a diode preamp, which isn't usually as desirable as a diode tone processed by a tube preamp

[@J.C...]

Just try stuff. If it sounds good, it is good. If that happens to be with a distortion in the fx loop like a delay pedal, so be it. It won't damage your amp or your pedal. Just try stuff.

[@edcollins9377]

sometimes you get that look on your face like you got a whiff of something stinky and realized you sh*t your pants.

[@dissonantstyle]

Didn't care for the sound on it's own, but it slayed in the mix!

[@krailanuar]

Drop B Or A#?

[@richardchambless12]

I’ve heard that it’s really a Triple Wreck clone.

[@keithsa41]

I have this exact pedal. It works great with my peavy bandit and Joyo Firebrand lunchbox hybrid tube box. Interestly though tried it with my boss katana 100 amp thru the fx send and return and right into it as well. No matter what tweaking, the Katana amp sounds like shit. I have tries a couple other metal pedals with the katana amp and can't get that modern metal sound out of the box. The katana amp isn't cutting it for metal for me, so it's time to let her go.

[@joevance8983]

Sounds like operator error to me i can get some real gnarly tones and i have the katana 50 mkII. I dont own this pedal but i do have the joyo Uzi, and quite a few other drives and distortions from boss, mooer, nux, hotone, behringer, horse, etc, etc, lol.

[@thefuneralparade]

You must have your amps e.q. tweaked wrong or something.just set all the low mid and high knobs to the halfway point.all equal.anf then hit th button on the pedal and then tweak the pedals eq to your liking.amp should b fine.

[@Sheldyck]

you wanna hear a rec? try a joyo Rigel.

[@SusNoodle]

From the looks on your face it seems like you might not be getting the right feel from this one. Is the playing feedback just kind of sterile? I had a similar problem with my mooer brown sound , just didn't respond to me in a satisfying way.

[@TaylorDanley]

You can’t use my facial expression as a gauge, it’s way too all over the place 😂

[@SusNoodle]

@@TaylorDanley i am curious though, how was the feel of it? am i way off with that assumption?

[@TaylorDanley]

@@SusNoodle Honestly, I never really notice differences in feel between most things, unless there is some huge input lag. Sometimes an amp can feel dry, and you have to strum really hard to get a response, but this didn't feel that way at all. Sorry for the non answer, feel is just such a subjective thing!

[@SusNoodle]

@@TaylorDanley no you got it , its like the strum feel. how the equipment respondes to you input. like bass cansometime have a bit of latecy on it the attack ad deay of bass response is a killer on stuff like this. but you're saying you didnt notice so , i have my answer. thanks

[@kim.yandere.]

Sounds like old Kataklysm.

[@IAmWatcher]

Is it true bypass? It says so in the description over at Ali and Amazon, but it's not mentioned at other stores like Thomann, they sell it as Harley Benton but it's the exact same pedal. True bypass is also not mentioned in any of the reviews that I saw. I've had some problems before with a non true bypass pedal creating noise on my home set up when the pedal was turned off. As an alternative I'm looking at the Biyang Metal End King, it's a bit more expensive but has great sound too. Third option would be the Caline Easy Driver double pedal with EQ, it also sounds great.

[@rossbalch]

I've heard this is supposed to be a Metal Muff clone?

[@rossbalch]

Based on how the "boost" reacts I would believe that.
