krock Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Found a bargain on amazon UK if anyone needs one.

Riffster Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 That's a bargain. I like my Joyo Compressor despite its unreliable switch, one day I will install a quality switch on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Hmmm, seller in China. Small alarm bell. but calling themselves lotmusic_gb. Misleading. Small alarm bell. Price too good to be true. Small alarm bell. Been selling a year and 2% neutral and 2% negative. Small alarm bell. Odd description slightly skirting the brand issue. Description100% Brand new, never used Item 100% like the picture shown Brand:Joyo Small alarm bell. Too many small alarm bells for me, be careful and good luck.

manse Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 When I saw Krock's post I checked it out online and ordered one. It was delivered today (free delivery using Amazon Prime). It is simply excellent. I am really very pleasantly suprised. Good times. Manse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 That's a bargain. I like my Joyo Compressor despite its unreliable switch, one day I will install a quality switch on it. I like my Joyo Compressor as well. Even the switch works fine. I also have an Joyo Ultimate Octave fuzz pedal that I really like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I am one of the unlucky ones with the switch, prior to buying it I saw online reviews about the switch going out within 30 minutes and that is exactly what happened to mine. The switch does work but make a false contact half the time. It is an easy fix because the switch is not mounted on the PCB, I'll invest the $4 and time one of these days.

manse Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Surprisingly they are good pedals. Absolutely - it is not a good "cheap" pedal - it is just a good pedal. It has a great sound, and a touch more gain than I recall from a stock Tubescreamer, which suits my style. My tele and my Bassman love it. I have a Keeley modded Rat, an MXR Zakk Wylde overdrive, an old Boss Super Disortion Feedbacker and a variety of fuzzes - so I have my dirty sounds covered - but I will find room for this on my board. And I would defy anyone to tell the "cheap" pedal from the more expensive ones in a blind test. That said, it might not last as long - it is lightweight for a metal pedal, but the build seems neat, the switch feels positive, the knobs are well seated and operate smoothly. Honestly, if I had no prior knowledge of the brand or the price, I would pay real tubescreamer money for it. And, unbelievably £6, delivered in under 48 hours, with a working battery inside.

Riffster Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If I saw any of their pedals for such bargain price I would order it even if I did not need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manse Glad you're enjoying it. I thought they might have realised the price wasnt in line with the others and raised it before anyone could purchase it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
