So another review of the a Joyo Pedal, I have already reviewed the Joyo Tremolo, American Sound and Ultimate Drive, California Drive, so it is the time of the Joyo JF-16 British Sound! This pedal is trying to model a good old Marshall! This time the pedal is trying to emulate the Marshall Bluesbreaker.How easy is it to use?The pedal is dead easy to use it has a 3 band EQ section and controls for level, gain and voice. The voice control is perhaps the only one which isn't immediately clear as to what it does, but it is basically a mid-shaping pre-amp controlThe pedal could be used as an emergency amp, or strapped to a pedal board you could create your own amp simulator board, without the need of something like a Line-6 amp simulator. To me this is probably the best feature of these pedal, as I have mentioned in previous reviews. I have been using it to do direct recording too and it sounds fantastic. In conjunction with something like a traditional pedalboard, you have your own amp modelling system.There is 9V input and it runs from a battery.Are there any nice touches?Pretty standard pedal really, nothing really stands out! Nicest touch...it costs less than £30!!! (Ethics aside)So most importantly what does it SOUND like?For a pedal which costs less than £30, it is really good for a nice 'British' sounding rock pedal. I wasn't as blown away with it as I was with the American Sound pedal, but it really would be impossible to have any real complaints given the cost. It works well as a dirty/crunchy DI amp modelling box in the studio.I would say I am happiest with the pedal with the voice and the drive setting beyond 12 o'clock, but the trade off is that there is an increase in noise (like the real amp I guess, but not intentional!). The pedal actually works really well with the Joyo Vintage Drive pedal to give a lovely lead tone, and you can here the examples of this below. I found using it with a separate drive pedal suits me more (personally), I will say that the pedal is very dynamic and does respond well to your playing, it does cleans up well using the guitar's volume.It is well worth every penny. I would suggest putting it on your shortlists.Demonstration of the lead sound of the pedal in conjunction with the Joyo vintage overdrive pedal.Demonstration of the lead and rhythm sound of the pedal in conjunction with the Joyo vintage overdrive pedal. Example using Led Zep's The Ocean.The pedal is also true bypass.Will it fall apart?The case is made of pretty robust Aluminium, built like most pedals, but whilst I am sure it could take a complete hammering, I probably would treat it with some care, I also worry about the battery cover which seems a bit flimsy. I use a PSU, so this isn't really an issue for me.Pros1)Like the other pedals...the cost, and could be used as an emergency amp in a live situation!2)It sounds pretty good as a crunchy amp and as a direct box, with the drive turned up the distortion sounds pretty good.Cons1)Not 100% convinced about the construction if used under pressure2)It's not quite there, but then again I am a massive Marshall fan3)Increase in noise at high drive settings (sounds like a fry up!)4)The ethics of ‘stealing’ IP and cheap labour economics?5)Not as good as the American Sound.Video review coming.PeaceNeil
