Joyo R20 King or Kings
very old blues player 08.09.2022
There are only a few online video's on this pedal. Check them out as this pedal is way worth it. Although it is budget the sound isn't and running it into a valve amp gives an extremely acceptable dual or single overdriven tone which backs off well on the guitar or vol/pedal. I have tried a King of Tone but can not afford one and may not be alive by the time one could be delivered but after using this I would no longer buy one anyway.
Highly recommended.

Is it really the King?
Polfus 24.06.2025
I bought this Joyo pedal together with the Maximum and the Tornado because I wanted to try them as they're all different and I really didn't expect, despite the really positive reviews I found online, that they could all sound sooooo good, sooo good, really I'm not joking.
For the price, Joyo makes unbelievable overdrive pedals and I'm really happy I gave it a try.
And this, the King Of Kings delivers what promised: an almost faithful replication of the King Of Tones itself. Ok, ok there is a very subtle difference maybe in the tone nuances, but guys, have you seen the price?
That crystal-clear tone which comes out of the Strat proper of that mayerish tone is all there.
One important tip: many says that the 2 switches don't do practically anything to the sound of the pedal, but it's not true at all. They work in combination for example if 1 is on 2 can be off and vice versa, so you'll really notice the difference in the tone and volume.
Buy it if you need it, you can't go wrong, I'm really enthusiastic about it!

Nice integrated overdrive/boost pedal.
Lechum 24.04.2023
Solid build. Sounds are good. I found using the right hand side for overdrive and the left hand side for boost works well. No proper explanation of what the switches do, so it's trial and error to get what you like. Good value for money.

B
Great sounding pedal
Bgfgf 05.07.2023
Wasn't 100% convinced about this pedal but played it live at a gig recently and was really impressed. Once I had it dialled in on the sound check it really came into its own. Left hand channel adds some lovely crunch into a driven valve amp and stacking gain with right hand channel gives a really nice lead sound. I think this is comparable at the very least to some of the more expensive boutique options. I think the build quality reflects the price but the sound quality punches way way above the price point.

Cheap and great sounding
guitarnewbie 23.09.2023
Yes, there is some hiss, but it might just be from the gain. But for this price, I think it sounds phenomenal. Build quality is nice, it just feels light-weight - but again, can't expect it to feel like a tank at this price range.

K
Great pedal
Kir21 28.10.2023
Everything great.
Except:
- if you max up, or close to max up, gain on both sides there will be A LOT OF NOISE. And I mean that. Surprised that nobody mention that in the reviews.
- B channel is quite lower on volume compared to A one. But this part was mentioned in almost all reviews so maybe it as it should be.

Apart from that great pedal.
