The Joyo Digital delay is not a direct clone of any specific pedal. However, one thing about the Joyo digital delay is that a filter within the circuit of the pedal has been designed in such a way as to replicate that of an analog delay. Perhaps this is one of those few Joyo pedals that were designed to be unique and be their own thing. Unfortunately, this delay, along with the other Joyo delay pedals, does not come with a tap tempo function.

Let’s start with boost sounds. If you just want to shape your overall EQ keep the Voice and Drive controls down low and adjust the Joyo California Sound’s 3 EQ and Level controls to suit.Thanks for this Hanky, fascinating that the speaker sim used in the California is different to the other Joyo Sound pedals. Having said that, the Joyo does one of these voices. And it does it very very well. The Joyo US Dream, as well as the Suhr Riot, are fantastic pedals to be used for lead tones. And, just like a natural overdriven tube amp responds to volume control, so will these two pedals. Essentially, they clean up really nicely. The Joyo California Sound JF-15 Pedal is a complex guitar distortion effect stompbox, reportedly based on a Tech21 pedal of a similar name. Note that the image I've used here is from the actone sound pcb board & doesn't contain the components soldered.

We may collect personal information either directly from you, or from third parties, including where: The VOICE knob is what makes this pedal so appealing. I know it's essentially a mid's cut/boost, but there is something about it that just works for me. Initially, I was reluctant to add the Joyo Iron man pedals to this list of clones by Joyo. The reason I was hesitant is due to the fact that many of the pedals in the Ironman series are either smaller versions of pedals from the 10 & 30 series. Whilst many other Joyo Ironman pedals are their own thing and not copies or clones. However, there are indeed pedals in the Ironman series that are clones. Or, have drawn inspiration from original pedals. I must note that there is no official confirmation that these are the exact clones/copies. Some of them are quite obviously clones, whilst others aren’t as obvious. Joyo Ironman Series Of MiniClones And Originals Fortunately, Joyo has created a more than a sufficient clone of this Suhr Riot pedal. However, this is not a direct clone as there are some differences between these two pedals. For example, the Suhr Riot comes with an extra voicing toggle switch. Which lets you switch between three different high gain distortion voices.

For some, the Joyo California will be ultimate overdrive pedal that can replace several dirt pedals. In any case, it’s a versatile pedal that’s affordable and widely available. I’ve never used a noise gate and never really investigated them to be completely honest. I am not very well equipped to talk about these pedals. However, I can confirm that this is not a direct clone of any other Noise Gate out there. But as far as functionality goes, it looks very reminiscent of the Decimator noise gate pedal. I know the Decimator is an exceptionally popular Noise Gate. So I would not be at all surprised if this Joyo noise gate was at the very least inspired by the Decimator Noise gate.

It’s worth pointing out that the bass control provides about 4 times the amount of low-end you’ll ever need. That said, the Mid and Hi controls are far more useable. So, you’ll need to play with the pedal’s EQ controls to fully understand how they work. I think it makes sense for me to try the cab sim defeat mod, but I'm a little nervous about this surface mounted stuff. At the end of the day it's a dirt cheap pedal, and I don't use it at the moment because of this tone issue - so if I screw it up so be it! On the second row is a Level control, which is the pedal’s overall volume. Again, nothing too surprising here!

Last week arrive in in my hands a Joyo California sound... For sure I reverse it... I note there are some componentes that are not present on the other versions that are mounted on this one, like the caps and the resistor on the filter after the CabSim before the Level pot. Next is the Voice control, which is where things get interesting. Using this knob changes both the gain structure and the EQ as you move it. So, you can completely change the distortion sound by adjusting this control. The only downside to the Ironman pedals is that they can’t run off a 9v battery. Only a power supply. Another thing I realized is that they’re a bit on the higher side in terms of price when compared to the 10 and 30 series. However, they definitely still fall into the budget category of pedals. For the pedals that are smaller versions of clones from other series, I haven’t written much of a review as they’ve been covered above in the 10 series and 30 series.

Part of this 10 Series by Joyo, are some amp simulator clones. The originals are made by Tech 21 Sansamp. Who are well known for their amp simulation and preamps. These Joyo’s are great clones of these Tech 21 amp sims. They can also be used in multiple ways. Firstly you can use them as a normal stompbox to achieve the tones of your favorite amps. Secondly, you can use these as a preamp straight into a PA system. And lastly, you can use these as a preamp for recording purposes.

Thats a lot of work there. You could design a pcb with mini switches to make a all-in-one version of these. I ask the question above, rather than stating that this is an actual clone. The reason is that no such confirmation points in the direction that this is a Zen Drive Clone. The Zen Drive is an OD pedal that produces a “Creamy” tone. And whilst the Tai Chi does something similar, they’re still pretty different in their tonal characteristics. The Graphics on the Tai Chi would lead anyone to believe that this is a Zen Drive due to the fact that the Zen Drive has similar graphics. One thing that is for sure, however, is that this Joyo Tai Chi pedal was designed for a Japanese guitar player as his signature pedal. The reason I did so is that there are quite a number of these pedals that are actually clones. However, to be fair, there are also a decent amount of Joyo ironman pedals that are originals and not copies or clones. But you can see for yourself when you get to that part.
