      That's a new one for me. I hadn't heard of this one.

        They have been around for a few years. They are a spot on clone and getting both tones for under $15 is pretty insane.

          I'm serious OP/TS.

          If you have designs on learned some things for the future of your pedal interest..... just build a TS from scratch or a kit.

          this plus buying a soldering setup will still net you a better featured and better quality TS pedal for cheaper than the sub >60 options you can buy direct.

            I've got the Joyo's crunch distortion, sorta their take on MI Audio Crunch Box. At one point, I had both.



            Not anymore!

            I could go for an Ultimate Drive as well!

              Lots of good suggestions have been named: Joyo Vintage Overdrive, Biyang Tonefancier or Baby Boom series (the last one if a smaller footprint is needed), both are excellent TS-clones at great value.
              But I don't think anything can beat the Demon, for 15 dollar, it's nearly impossible to beat! Just like the Biyang series it comes with a switch that let's you choose between two input capacitor values, offering both the TS-9 and TS-808 sounds.

              I'd get one of those if I were you!

              Anyone that know a dealer in Europe that sells them for that price (or not too far off)?
              I just found a European dealer, but he asks 55 euro for it! (still not a crazy price, but when comparing it to 15 dollar, it's kinda theft)

                  So I'm thinking about the GFS "Greenie"- it has three differnet "modes", and sounds great to me on youtube.

                  50 dollars or so?

                      I'd check out the GFS Twin Boost.

                        The GFS pedals are relabeled Biyang pedals

                        Biyang is owned by the Wang company

                          Interesting article about the designer of the Tube Screamer, here. What I found interesting is that he isn't a guitarist.

                            The Joyo and Behringer versions are good. They are exact copies.

                                That's because guitarists are super duper conservative and hate to innovate. Innovation has to come from somewhere else. :P
