Great Clean and Overdrive Tone
I primarily use it for a clean plus a slightly driven tone. It's great at higher gain settings as well. But I'm sure we all need a pedal on the board that can give us some nice clean tone shaping capabilities. This is that pedal.

the only choice if you want relatively authentic sounding choruses, delays, reverbs all in one pedal on a budget!
it's the only choice if you want to have choruses, delays, reverbs and a few more digital simulations of some boutique pedals in ONE pedal. A/B'ing it with analog pedals showed me that this isnt actually half bad! In fact, it saves a lot of pedal space. But it does get a little bit getting used to as it does a lot of things for its small size. Go through the manual and you'll be set. I am a simple person though and I like every effect separately on separate pedals. It's a bit of a hassle to bend down during a concert, scroll to the effect to switch off. So I end up using it for long shimmery reverbs and crazy tremolo delays etc switching on and off with one tap.

this device is a touring guitar player's best friend!
This device is a miracle. If you can't just take your amp and cabinet everywhere you tour, then this little box is your solution! one of the best cabinet simulations! just put it at the end of the chain. select the "cab sim in".. modify the settings to your liking. speaker dimensions, vintage or modern, open or sealed cabinet, mic placement. Trust me on this, buy it while they still make it! You will only be pleasantly surprised!

Totally agree, this unit is amazing. Watch Brett Kingman's demo of this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZLezYymLb8) when it's on and off, whilst being fed an overdriven signal, that'll convince you!

fender deluxe sound, almost, at a fraction of the price!
It's a great overdrive! soft rock, hard rock, country, pop rock - this pedal can give you sounds for a wide variety of genres with little fiddling. At very high gain though, there is a strong hiss. It doesn't matter though, because most amps do give that hiss out at high gains. this only shows the honesty of the joyo american's circuity.

on both the crate 4x12 ... and the marshall 4x12. The crate hiss is not that strong though. The Marshall has that though, still less than the joyo american. When I play live, I do not take the cab along most of the times. I use the ADA GCS-3.

all the Marshalls I've owned (a lot, by the way) have a had a tiny mains hum, but otherwise are hiss free even at extreme gain settings other than the 'gain channel' of the JTM30 at high drive settings... even the JCM900 was pretty durned quiet for all the asswhompin' 80s grind it produces

A versatile heavy duty reverb!
It's wonderful at the end of the chain! I always have it on with a bit of room or hall on during concerts. Sounds very natural and gives that added depth and dimension to my sound!

a great budget delay pedal for the analog lovers!
it's simple yet it has the capability to create some great atmospheres. it has the features of much more expensive analog delay pedals, but still priced very nicely! love how the high end cut as the delay feedback fades out.

good for slightly overdriven and clean tones!
I use it regularly in my live shows. serves its purpose. It tries to clone VOX AC30. It doesn't do a perfect job. But whatever it does is pretty credible. And for the price tag of under 40 usd, I don't think there is any other choice as well. If you are starting off in the world of pedals, this is a great first pedal!

one of the best rock distortions ever!
If I have a choice of having just one distortion pedal for the kind of music I play (hard and heavy rock), this would be it.

the highest gain! super pedal!
it's a great pedal. It's not only great for pedal, but in conjunction with other tone shaping pedals like eq, compression etc. it shines through brilliantly. rest assured, the solo will always come out on top. I experimented on it a bit to see if I can get a big distortion wall of sound, somewhat like Linkin Park had in Hybrid Theory and Meteora, I got pretty close. Very solid pedal. The price isn't too low. But trust me, this is a must have in your pedal arsenal specially if you are a music producer!

It's perfect if you get used to it!
as it doesn't have any mechanical parts, it's movement is not the traditional one like on a digitech whammy or a crybaby wah. It's also difficult to strap it to the pedal board as it's bottom has to move while using it unlike other pedals whose bottom is fixed to the board. Keeping these two issues aside, it's pitch shifting capability is second to none.

The most versatile solid wah on the market!
Nothing beats this for its versatile tone shaping and absolutely and amazingly low price!

Great, but not for every genre!
The single note runs or any other situation where you don't want a lot of attack to the notes, this compressor shines through. If you want more versatility, you would need another compressor on your board. Besides that, I have always thought that there should always be two compressors on the board to fulfill all the basic tone needs

Once you get used to it, there's no going back.
Used a chromatic tuner all my life. But the strobe tuner's accuracy is pretty visible. A/B'ed it with other tuners, and this always comes on top. Love it and won't ever leave it!
