OK tones available but far from stunning
Tallshrew 05.07.2019
OK tones are on tap here but nothing that really blows me away, or even likely to be used by me. Not so good as the American, AC Tone or British from the same series.

Haven't found a good sound (yet).
Flecksy 22.09.2020
First impression is good. The pedal looks and feels solid, in its metal casing. It is rather versatile in the variety of distortion sounds one can create using the voice dial. It's supposed to create Mesa Boogie-type sounds, but I'm not familiar enough with those amps to comment. I bought this pedal based on sound examples on You Tube. Having said that, I've tried it going into a valve pre-amp and into the power-amp, and I haven't really found a sound that I like. Some overdriven sounds are pretty decent, though. Maybe it's the amp modelling that makes it sound somewhat muffled and compressed... I'll keep trying, though!

Quality isn't 100% but for the money it's decent. Pedal can be hard to work with , it can take a long time until you get the sound you want from it.

Not really easy to find a great tone
JoshP 18.10.2013
I saw a couple of demos on youtube of the Joyo California sound (same box, just another brand) and thought it sounded great. When I got the pedal myself I really couldn't get a great tone out of it. Maybe I didn't have enough patience to tweak it or maybe I just get a better tone with other gear in my rig. Anyway, this ended up on my keyboard instead for really dirty overdriven organ tones instead.
