Review: Can't rave enough about this $40 diamond in the rough... - Let's get a few things straight from the start - I love effects pedals. I love the idea of a handcrafted boutique pedal (and have owned a few), and I'll also play the mass-produced BOSS and Ibanez stuff. And if you put foreign/no-name brand in front of me, but the pedal is made well and sounds GOOD, I'll play that too. All you need to know is that this pedal is well-constructed and sounds darn good for 40 dollars. Joyo is a Chinese company that essentially has makes their own form factor (a heavy-duty metal box with an MXR-like button switcher), and then clones/mimics/copies circuitry of popular boutique pedals that cost anywhere from $100 to $250. And they've figured out how to ship them to the U.S. and sell them for $40 to $60 each. I've recently discovered these pedals, and if money/pedalboard space were no issue, there's probably 8 to 12 of them I'd like to own. The "star" of the Joyo lineup, however, is arguably the JF-02 Ultimate Drive. This pedal got some notoriety a few years back when an American company bought them in bulk, repainted them, and tried to sell them for almost $200. The fact that they thought they could get that much for it tells you something about the quality. The pedal this is supposedly clone off of is the Fulltone OCD Overdrive, a boutique pedal that came out several years ago, and usually sells from around $150. I own that pedal, and I've done a side by side comparison on my pedal board. And while tone is EXTREMELY subjective, I'm not sure that I wouldn't go with the Joyo Ultimate Drive in a blind test. While the 3-knob, Lo/Hi switch are clearly inspired by the Fulltone OCD, the pedals actually sound quite different. With the exact same settings, the Fulltone will actually sound much brighter. That's really saying something because the Fulltone is known as having a very well-rounded tone with a defined base. Well, the Ultimate Drive offers even more bass and mids, yet the Tone knob can brighten it up quite a bit without losing that bottom end. It's actually extremely versatile. I'm not sure that it would do low-gain "crunch" sounds very well, but if that's what you want, consider the Joyo Vintage Overdrive, the Joyo Crunch Distortion, or a Tubescreamer. Right now, I have three pedals that are fairly similar and offer a great "overdriven Marshall" tone: The Fulltone, the Ultimate Drive, and the Marshall GV-2 Guv'nor. While they are all great pedals, the Joyo really hits the sweet spot on my Vox Combo amp (using a Gibson Les Paul). As for soloing/lead play, I'm noticing all types of pick attack/harmonic response with the Joyo that I don't get with other stompboxes. It really does act and feel like an onboard overdrive channel. If you point all the knobs at 12 o' clock, some people may think it is muddy, but that Tone knob really does change the character quite a bit. Sorry for the long rant, but I want people to know that just because you can't afford $150+ on a single pedal doesn't mean you can't enjoy a great overdrive stomp box. Check the JF-02 out - it just might be your "gateway drug" to other Joyo pedals!
Review: Low price, big sound - The only bad thing about the Ultimate Drive is the graphic depiction of the Japanese Oni demon on the top of it. On the other hand, I am told that in Japan, if you are considered a total bada$$, you are referred to as "oni-ni-kanabo," translating to "Demon with an Iron Club." If you get this little monster, you will indeed be in possession of a demon with an iron club, with which you can slam the front end of any amp with enough juice to make it melt down like Fukushima. OK, enough Japanese (besides, this is a Chinese pedal). The construction is excellent, the switch is good and tight, and there are a LOT of possibilities hidden in the knobs. You can get everything from a slight boost to a wild, Jeff Beck era Yardbirds-like howl. There is plenty of power here and lots of tone. Let me put it to you straight. This is a professional level pedal. It is not junk. You can't classify it with the other inexpensive Chinese pedals out there, at all. This is an outstanding overdrive/distortion pedal, and the fact that it can be bought for this low price is nearly criminal. This little beast has muscled an American-made distortion/overdrive pedal off my pedal board. I won't name names, but you can find the story online. One of the so-called "boutique" pedal companies bought a ton of these, repainted and re-branded them, and sold them for FOUR TIMES what you are going to pay here. And people were coughing up the cash - until some insider revealed that this "special boutique custom" pedal was actually a Joyo Ultimate Drive with a paint job. It was a minor scandal. I thoroughly recommend this pedal without hesitation. It is as good as people say it is. I recommend that you use it with a tube amp, because that is where its qualities truly shine. It will turn your guitar into a demon-with-an-iron club. I suggest you get one now before Joyo pushes the price up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid OD...very flexible with settings
*by R***J on March 6, 2016*

It's a good OD pedal. I set it up with OD at zero and level at 9. The boost certainly did an excellent job of pushing my amp into some thick overdrive. It doesn't take much from the OD knob to get the breakup you want. Using it past 6 or 7 would suit some, but it gets a little fuzzy for anything I'll need. Pushing the level knob up to 9 did create some noise when the pedal was engaged, but it was less than I expected. Bringing it back down to 6 negated much of that anyway. Pulling back on the level to 6 and increasing the OD to 3 seems like the right spot...for me. It gives me just enough boost and added overdrive to get the hard rock that I like. Of course, we all want something different, and your settings will be different. But the pedal has a wide enough range in each knob that you should be able to get what you want. It's not a distortion pedal, but it does get pretty aggressive. Not sure how it will sound as a standalone gain tool for a solid state amp, but it certainly does an excellent job of driving tubes. The paint job...that's my one dislike. Not that it matters to me all that much, but I think it can affect expectations of people considering it. It LOOKS like a heavy distortion pedal. But it's not. As for hints...I've seen a review from three years ago where the switch wasn't activating, and the red light was staying on. I bought mine "used" through Amazon. When I got it, it was doing the same thing. Maybe it's the same pedal, but I doubt it. All that needed to be done was to tighten the nut on the switch. It was a little loose and was allowing the switch to sag into the pedal. Tightened it up and all was well. As for other complaints about definition and clarity in chords...I can't speak for them, and they may have different ears than mine. For me, everything sounded very clear and defined. It's always possible that tweaking settings between the guitar, amp and pedal can make some difference there. It's also possible that this pedal is being compared to a considerably higher end option. I don't know other than to say that all situations are different. Bottom line is that there seems to be widespread love for this pedal, and the price point is amazing. I'd take this easily over the Boss Super Overdrive, Bad Monkey, Screamin' Blues and many others in its price range. To be honest, for me personally and what I like to hear...ill take it over a TubeScreamer too.
