JOYO Overdrive British Rock Amp Simulator Pedal Brit-Rock Era Bluesbreaker Overload for Electric Guitar Effect - Bypass (British Sound JF-16)

I wanted a 'Fuzz-Box" When i was young I bought a Univox "Super Fuzz" not knowing it was the preferred EFX pedal to most major Rock guitarists. I've watch videos of The Who on stage and I can see Townshend has the pedal no ton the floor,but up high and easy to adjust. I bought it because I could get the sounds of Black Sabbath with it and it worked great on my Bass. It could growl or it could buzz and do anything inbetween. I sold my pedal two years ago and got $550.00 for it. I think I paid $45 back in 1976So there I was regretting not having that pedal and finding out that nothing else sounded like it no matter how much the listing said it did. I bought an expensive unit to a friend as a gift and it claimed to be identical to the Super Fuzz and to even have more tonel adjustments. It didn't sound anything like the Univox. Now keep in mind I am talking about a "Fuzz" and not distortion or overdrive. Those EFX sound different than a Fuzz Box. Two weeks ago I cam across this on Amazon and after thinking about it bought something else that was actually a little bit more money. I never buy the cheapest product even when broke. Somehow it never arrived and Amazon sent me a refund very promptly. Then I went back to this one. I switched over to "Dogpile" my search engine and read about the pedal and listened to several videos of people demonstrating it. So I went back to Amazon and bought it for a very low price. - Thank you Amazon. It arrived the next day - thank you Amazon Prime - and after popping in a battery I tried it out. I have a new Les Paul copy I am about to upgrade so I plugged it in and played. I messed with the settings a lot and it sounded like crap. Then I turned the last knob almost all the way to the left and it sounded great! From there I tuned the over knobs to get a sound I loved. I ran it through a compressor and delay and this thing blew my freakin' mind. It was every adjective I can think of in a superlative vein. It was fantastic, magnificent, awesome, incredible and on and on. I couldn't put the guitar down. I was amazed to know that what I was hearing from my amp/cabinet was me. I sounded as if I could play. I was playing runs from Deep Purple and I sounded like the records. I was playing Who and Zeppelin, I suck at Page so i went back to Deep Purple and even played some Humble Pie. The sounds were all there! All of my favorite British guitarists were inside my amplifier. Then I began to play "Good bye to Jane" and discovered how much fun it is to blaze through my favorite Slade songs. I can't remember having so much fun. It sounds sweet when playing light solos or leads without changing settings, I simply changed how i played the notes and the box did the rest. Some boxes have one sound and you get it louder or softer but you still get the same sound. Not with this little purple wonder. The variations in tone are never ending between changing the pedal settings and changing the pick up positions and tone knobs on the guitar. In fact I think they ought to sell this pedal with every LP copy and they'd never have a complaint. It is nice that this pedal is so inexpensive. It appears to me made well. The off gives a completely quiet pedal by-pass. I believe it could take some rough handling at practice or packing up after a gig. The tag on it says "British" and it certainly earns the right to than name. It enabled me to sound just like all my favorite 60-s to 70's British rock guitarists.I can't recommend this pedal enough if that is the sound you want. maybe in 40 years people will be paying absurd amounts to buy one of these original pedals. You never can tell.

For those of us who sometimes feel our guitars aren't delivering the right tones, that maybe the mid-range frequencies (or low or high) are missing, this is a great tool at a very good price. It's made a huge difference in the sound all my electric guitars deliver. I can dial up frequencies I want and dial back frequencies I don't want. It's made a terrific difference because I own and play a wide range of guitars, all of which can always use a little tweak to the sound.Good product and good price.

Not a bad deal! I play primarily six & 12 string acoustics, so I don’t use a flanger much. Just on a few tunes. I own a few flangers but none of them had the sound I was looking for… not too heavy. This was on sale and I figured it was worth a try. So far, I like it. Just enough to give the guitar a slightly trippy edge to it.

EQ pedalPros [Note that the yellow behringer lacks each of these Pros]:• Very quiet (behringer is SUPER noisy)• Nicely indented center point on pots.• LEDs are nicely orange or something (don't do colors well .. not they aren't super bright blue, so all is good). (Behr. has no lights on sliders)• Pots feel good, not too loose• Metal enclosure, though plastic base.Cons [and here Behringer actually gets the following right]:• Upper most slider is only 3kh. This could easily be an issue if you don't have a low pass filter in your chain [Behringer is better, it has one more at 6.4k]• No separate gain/level control. Behringer does have one and it's a very convenient addition to have, but not vital.• Footswitch has super loud click. Did not hear any click on track, but can't really say since the clack from the switch itself burst my eardrums. [Behr footswitch is very quiet, but it's just a plastic hinged piece badly copying how Boss does it].

I can't believe how astounding this pedal is. I have been seeking for months now a pedal that can really make your electric rhythm guitar chunky and powerful. I found myself at a local guitar store buying Overdrive, Blues Driver and Tube Screamer pedals precisely for this reason, and while I like them, they are not fully realizing my intention. For many of us, like myself, who record at home, and cannot mic a real Marshall or similarly powerful amp at home, to avoid annoying the neighbors, obtaining that kind of mic'ed sound was just not possible. Don't get me wrong, every pedal I have for lead works like a dream, the Pod X3, the Metal Muff, and so on. But for rhythm, getting a chunky and powerful rhythm was difficult. This pedal really does it beautifully. Of course it probably can't substitute for really micing a large amp in a studio, using different mics no less, but still, it comes really close. This is quite close to the sound you'd hear if you were listening to the rhythm played live by the Yardbirds, Kinks, Who, all the way up to Led Zep and the punks after it; abrasive, powerful, rhythm guitar, which the pedal lets you mold with its three EQ settings, Level, Voice and Drive. A true gem among pedals!

Works as it should I wish it had more controls and settings but works fine
