THE ORPHAN OVERDRIVES... pedals you do not use but can not part with :-(

SECOND BEST PEDALS

I have a small collection of pedals that have been bumped from my board but I just can not get myself to sell them.

JOYO JF-02 ULTIMATE DRIVE

This is a OCD clone. A copy. A dead on perfect copy.
There is obviously something about the OCD that has made it so popular that they have sold quite literally thousands of them.It is a little bit harsh and the sustain sucks. Those that shred with it I suspect push the level away past unity and force the amp to get a great deal of the sound.
In unity gain it is a very nice medium distortion that is good for riffs and power chords.

JOYO JF-39 DELUXE CRUNCH

This is not a clone. It has 2 gain controls and acts like an amp with one control acting like a preamp volume and the other the amp volume. You can use the 2 to get a decent lite to medium high distortion. The voicing of the pedal is scooped. This gives the pedal a lot of definition but without that mid range it then becomes a bit thin. It also has a weak sustain. It is a riff and vocal backing pedal. It does however have an original and pleasant voice. If you have room on your board get one.
Why? It always seems to work just right when pedals twice as good just do not fit a tune.

MAXON GE-601 EQ

$160.00 USD

$37.00 USD

The green Maxon is a clone...part for part clone...it is sold as an original...does the word 'counterfeit" come to mind. LOL

The parts on the Maxon were never high end but the damn thing sounds good anyway. 

Being total contraband the clones are hard to find.

I am currently using the EQ in a Joyo American Tech21 Blonde clone of a 57 Fender Deluxe preamp pedal.

I am keeping the Maxon just in case of.

The novelty of the thing makes it a keeper too.

I bet you are asking yourself why the price difference is so extreme??????

The copy is built into a heavy steal box like some very expensive gourmet pedals???

MAGOO TUBE SCREAMER DEMON

This sucker really has cloned the original in a stellar fashion. The problem is that all ts pedals rely on the JRC4558D  chip. This chip is 98% of the sound!!! SO the difference between them in context of a band is childishly infinitesimal. Add to that in a band context a $23.00 USD will almost always do the job.LOL

$35.00 USD

$1628.00 USD
no sh@t!!!

"No..ya can't fool me ...I gotta have the original."

$23.00 USD
