OVERDRIVE- JOYO Extreme Metal ....a big surprise !!!

JOYO EXTREME METAL 

$35.00 USD

Joyo have been around for years making affordable well made reliable pedals. They are often clones, but actually very few do more or less than the hundreds of even big brands that have a Rat or a Tube Screamer or a Blues Breaker. The King Of Tone is two Bluesbreakers in a pedal that guys are now waiting 4 years to get. Yes waiting 4 years for a clone???. I am sure you get the point. There are no more than about 6 or 7 basic designs of a dirt pedals. One can not reinvent these 'wheels' only improve on them.

OK ...back to the Joyo. 

You get treble, mid, bass, gain, level and boost with a second footswitch to kick it in.

It literally has what is instantly notable as "that Metal" sound that has been around since the 80's.

Note: Like Mooer, NUX and any of the better known Chinese brands Joyo make re-brands hence Harley Benton is a Joyo pedal. With re-brands nothing is 'ever' different than the color of the casings, the graphics or the style of the knobs.

CONCLUSION

I would not hesitate to use one. If your music only requires this kind of sound then I would want something high end with cascading JFETs etc.

But even then if you had this there would be tunes this just damn well worked better on. At $35.00 USD.
