So, in another pedal board thread I mentioned experimenting with inexpensive JOYO pedals (many under $40) and how I was introduced to them through YouTube videos about 10 years by a YouTuber named Henning Pauly. His reviews are fun to watch and listen to. This is one he did about the JOYO Deluxe Crunch, which I have in my line up. I don't use it as aggressively as he does, but here's a link, if you'd like to see his review style. He is a bit opinionated about PRS guitars that he likes and how he does not like Gibson guitars, so Gibson lovers may be offended. But he is amusing to watch:
I think I've tried 3 or 4 JOYO distortion pedal models and I like the Deluxe Crunch the best. I only use it for a bit of dirt overdrive tone for rhythm guitar. If you look at the settings on mine, I barely have the distortion "Dist" dialed in with the "Pre" on full and it gives an overdriven chord tone like a Fender Deluxe Reverb amp on 5 or 6.
Anyway, he can run you through all that it does in his video. An inexpensive way to experiment with a variety of pedal models. All have true bypass and most have the input, output and 9v power jacks in the same place, so it makes it easy to set up a compact pedal board.
