- Ed's ViewAn Incredible Pedal!I wanted a 'Fuzz-Box" When i was young I bought a Univox "Super Fuzz" not knowing it was the preferred EFX pedal to most major Rock guitarists. I've watch videos of The Who on stage and I can see Townshend has the pedal no ton the floor,but up high and easy to adjust. I bought it because I could get the sounds of Black Sabbath with it and it worked great on my Bass. It could growl or it could buzz and do anything inbetween. I sold my pedal two years ago and got $550.00 for it. I think I paid $45 back in 1976
So there I was regretting not having that pedal and finding out that nothing else sounded like it no matter how much the listing said it did. I bought an expensive unit to a friend as a gift and it claimed to be identical to the Super Fuzz and to even have more tonel adjustments. It didn't sound anything like the Univox. Now keep in mind I am talking about a "Fuzz" and not distortion or overdrive. Those EFX sound different than a Fuzz Box. Two weeks ago I cam across this on Amazon and after thinking about it bought something else that was actually a little bit more money. I never buy the cheapest product even when broke. Somehow it never arrived and Amazon sent me a refund very promptly. Then I went back to this one. I switched over to "Dogpile" my search engine and read about the pedal and listened to several videos of people demonstrating it. So I went back to Amazon and bought it for a very low price. - Thank you Amazon. It arrived the next day - thank you Amazon Prime - and after popping in a battery I tried it out. I have a new Les Paul copy I am about to upgrade so I plugged it in and played. I messed with the settings a lot and it sounded like crap. Then I turned the last knob almost all the way to the left and it sounded great! From there I tuned the over knobs to get a sound I loved. I ran it through a compressor and delay and this thing blew my freakin' mind. It was every adjective I can think of in a superlative vein. It was fantastic, magnificent, awesome, incredible and on and on. I couldn't put the guitar down. I was amazed to know that what I was hearing from my amp/cabinet was me. I sounded as if I could play. I was playing runs from Deep Purple and I sounded like the records. I was playing Who and Zeppelin, I suck at Page so i went back to Deep Purple and even played some Humble Pie. The sounds were all there! All of my favorite British guitarists were inside my amplifier. Then I began to play "Good bye to Jane" and discovered how much fun it is to blaze through my favorite Slade songs. I can't remember having so much fun. It sounds sweet when playing light solos or leads without changing settings, I simply changed how i played the notes and the box did the rest. Some boxes have one sound and you get it louder or softer but you still get the same sound. Not with this little purple wonder. The variations in tone are never ending between changing the pedal settings and changing the pick up positions and tone knobs on the guitar. In fact I think they ought to sell this pedal with every LP copy and they'd never have a complaint. It is nice that this pedal is so inexpensive. It appears to me made well. The off gives a completely quiet pedal by-pass. I believe it could take some rough handling at practice or packing up after a gig. The tag on it says "British" and it certainly earns the right to than name. It enabled me to sound just like all my favorite 60-s to 70's British rock guitarists.
I can't recommend this pedal enough if that is the sound you want. maybe in 40 years people will be paying absurd amounts to buy one of these original pedals. You never can tell. - Needle-Nosed NedJoyo British SoundGreat pedal, for the money (I paid $39 on Amazon), to get a nice "Marshall" crunch/gain. I play hard rock in a band and hard rock is the reason I actually play guitar. I wanted a small form-factor pedal as backup to my current "direct" rig; a Nux Cerberus.
I really like the sound I have dialed-in on the Cerberus and believe I can also achieve a similar sound with the Joyo British Sound pedal (without effects, though). I've compared recordings of both and they are really close tone-wise....close enough, for the money, for me to have a decent backup or a portable "Marshall".
Apparently, you can dial in various Marshall-type tones; I really only like the one, medium to heavy gain for rhythm and leads. I would've sent it back if it did not sound good enough; it sounds great. I've been playing for over 40 years and know what tone I like.
The knobs feel sturdy, though they are plastic. The chassis is metal and very sturdy feeling.
I have not/would not use a battery with it, so I can't speak to battery life; just my preference to use the proper power supply (9v) as I've always done with pedals. Having said that, there's no power supply with the version of the pedal I bought, but you can get a "bundle" with a power supply (so I've seen).
It's a good sized pedal. It's slightly bigger than a normal Boss or TC Electronic "non-mini" pedal. I really like all of the various knobs for tone shaping, so I'm assuming that's why the size is slightly bigger, etc.
The cool thing which really sold me (outside of the price) was this pedal, like the rest of this series of pedals (AC Tone, American Sound, etc.) has a built-in cabinet simulator. Since my current rig is "direct" that makes it an easy set up to just plug this pedal "direct" into a DI and I can immediately start playing.
It's easy to keep in my gig-bag and I could totally see it being put on a separate board at some point for simplicity's sake. I could easily record with it too; just go direct into the DAW/Interface and it sounds great.
