Very portable, sounds good

It's great when you need a light amp. I get good tones for jazz on the clean channel and I downloaded a Fender Deluxe patch that sounds pretty nice for blues jams.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Nice sounding amp

It has good crisp cleans and the overdrive channel is sweet and can go a little into fuzz territory. It's also very portable.

Small, light, good blues tone

I practice with one of these a lot and just plug straight in. The overdrive is great for a heavy blues sound. Mike it up if you're gigging with it.

One of the greatest guitars ever.

Ever style of music has been played on a Stratocaster. With three pickups and it's Synchronized Tremolo Bridge it's a very versatile instrument. Several million have been produced since 1954.

Always getting new sounds from it!

It's a great pedal for getting sounds my other pedals just can't do. I also have the footswitch and an expression pedal with it.

The original Fuzz Face

These were popular in the late 60's. Used by Hendrix, Blue Cheer and many others.

Decent octave pedal

It sounds similar to the wedge shaped Octavio, but a more predicable sound, plus it's smaller and you can use an AC adapter with it.

Octave up goodness

It's part of my old school Hendrix setup. It runs on a 9 volt battery and can be temperamental.

Nice Fuzz Face

I use this one I feel like being old school. It runs on a 9 volt battery.

Perfect Germanium sound

It's like a standard Germanium Fuzz Face, but smaller.

Fuzzy bliss

I use it to get a nice, thick tone. It can also do a thin sounding distortion too.

Roland Guitar Synthesizer Controller

This was often sold with the Roland GR-300 Polyphonic Synthesizer.

Best of the Dunlop Hendrix wah's

The JH-1B has a nice, thick, deep wah sound. It's very Vox like.

An octave up ring modulator

It has no knobs, just a foot switch and an indicator light. With single notes it plays a straight octave up, but when two notes are played it has a growling fuzzy sound.

Like Hendrix used!

I use the Vox wah in my Hendrix setup. It's a little different from a Dunlop Crybaby.

It's a great modulation pedal

The sound is kind of a cross between a phase shifter and a Uni-Vibe. It's Hendrix like on the faster setting and adds color on the slower speeds. I like being able to adjust the rate on the fly too.

It's what my old 1973 Strat should have been

My MIM Classic Series 70's Stratocaster reminds me of my old Strat but with a lot less weigh and it stays in tune a lot better. The pickups sound decent. They're good for blues and psychedelic rock.

Cheap Tube Screamer clone

It's almost a Tube Screamer. I've been gigging with it for several months and it's still going.

It's a decent octave fuzz pedal

The fuzz on Unicorn Blood is little dry sounding for my taste, but the octave up feature is realy nice. It feature three switches to help control the tone, Fat, Boost and Sludge, It also has Volume, Bass, Treble and Octave knobs. The fuzz and octave are operated by separate foot switches, which give the Unicorn Blood some versatility.

It's a great, low cost octave fuzz pedal.

With the Joyo Voodoo Octave you get a pretty sweet sounding fuzz pedal with the ability to go an octave up. The fuzz can go from harsh and hairy to warm and fuzzy. The octave can be kind of like a subtle Octavia on up to a synthy sort of sound. One great thing about the Joyo Voodoo Octave is the ability to use it has just a fuzz pedal since the octave is controlled by it's own footswitch.
