Joyo JF-15 Califonia Sound Review
As I have mentioned in previous posts, it seems Joyo Pedals (and Mooer now) are causing a bit of a stir in the guitar pedal world, and I have already reviewed the Joyo Tremolo, American Sound and Ultimate Drive, so it is the time of the California Sound! I know there is some controversy about the Joyo range of pedals, and how they are basically rip offs (copies) of existing pedals, in this case the Tech 21 California (original Joyo!!!) which in turn is trying to model Mesa Boogie MK II.So here is the video review....on the whole is positive, but there is one major issue which I highlighted in the video where you get the most horrendous sound when you turn up the voice and drive control...see (hear) for yourself. Pros1)The cost, it's great and could be used as an emergency amp in a live situation!2)It sounds pretty good as a clean amp and as a direct box, with moderate distortion sounds pretty good too.Cons1)Not 100% convinced about the construction if used under pressure2)THE HORRIBLE sound when you turn up the voice and drive settings3)Increase in noise at high drive settings (sounds like a fry up!)4)The ethics of ‘stealing’ IP and cheap labour economics?PeaceNeil
