OVERDRIVE- JOYO Mike Kerr Lion's Roar ...the Mike Kerr signature pedal

 JOYO MIKE KERR LION'S ROAR 
$35.00 USD
=========================
NO! Not the Royal Blood guy but the virtuoso Brazilian guitarist and leader of the Boston band First Bourne.

Joyo have gone the 'Signature' route on this one.
The set up is a standard volume, gain and tone but with an additional knob to tweak your mids.

The sound is fat and full and harmonically rich. It does the 80's Metal thing ...it is not a modern Metal sound.

My guess is what you hear is what you get. It may not be so good used for any articulate chord work and I expect the sustain to be modest at best. But it has nailed the 80's sound which is good for many styles that are 'Hard Rock' orientated.
It could be stacked with another pedal or used for a powerful booster.
.
It is a Joyo so a quality build is a given. The price doesn't hurt either.
If you are just looking for a great cheap OD you can get the Joyo Ultimate Drive which is really a very, very good OCD for the same money. I have 22 OD's and most cost hundreds yet I still have and love the Ultimate Drive

Hey! If you want to know what OD 
Mike Kerr or Royal Blood plays it is the 
VS AUDIO Royal Flush or you can 
get the Straight Flush which is a stripped down 
one that will give you the same sounds 
Mike uses cheaper. 
Check out the Posts for both.
