  • My Pedalboard is done for now

    Just finished adding the Ultimate Drive
    in a minute with my review of the Ultimate Drive

    all my trials were the Guitar/the Pedal/the HI input on the Laney GC80A



    the Joyo Ultimate Drive for me is a nice pedal

    it is like a compressor/distortion in one pedal

    it doesnt like my RG2 with the JB/Jazz
    ok thats not fair
    with the humbuckers the Joyo doesnt respond to the volume control
    as you would expect
    with effect engaged the volume control of the guitar had almost no effect
    on the volume or tone or the effect in general
    to be fair the volume control on this Ibby has a Treble Bleed circuit
    but still

    with the amps Drive channel engaged, the effect disappeared
    it didn't matter if was on or off (the effect isn't True Bypass, BTW)

    the effect was good tho, with the knobs at noon
    the effect was smooth creamy and nice
    the level control seems to be the compression

    adding drive increases the "buzziness"

    tone works as expected and the HI/LO switch seems to control the seep of the tone

    If I only had one guitar, I would probably get another pedal

    but I don't

    with the MIM
    and the single coils
    this is where it came to life

    on the neck it was righteous
    on the bridge it responded to the volume control nicely
    it smoothed out gain when the volume went to half way
    (the Level all the way up the actual volume stayed pretty much the same)

    it still was kinda overshadowed by the Drive channel of the Laney
    but it didn't disappear

    with the guitar's tone knob backed off the effect took on a shimmery feel
    really cool

    with the single coils it did want to howl when you weren't playing

    How does it being upside down affect your tone? Maybe I should try it!

    Seriously though, I have the Mooer OCD clone and I think it sounds great with my strat as well.
    Go Packers!
