Re: JOYO Vintage Phaser?
I currently own a Verbzilla and I've previously owned the Behringer copy of it. They're miles apart in terms of quality. The tone from the Verbzilla is definitely superior, and the Behringer added a whole load of noise for some reason (maybe an issue with a lack of shielding due to the plastic chassis?)
Also, the Behringer had this weird issue where the Mix knob was in the circuit even when the pedal was off, acting like a master volume. So, if you had the mix cranked up to get a really wet sounding reverb, your sound would totally die when you turned the pedal off. I returned it and got a refund from Amazon because I assumed it was faulty but, after doing some reading online, it turns out to be a pretty common issue. I don't know whether it was just a bad batch or a design flaw or what, but it was seriously amateur.

Back to joyo, the vintage phase sounds closer to a block logo mxr than script, but still a bargain and I have posted gutshots galore at freestompboxes of these pedals. They are generally quiet and full of usable tone.
The compressor is extremely sweet and far quieter than any boutique ross or dynacomp clone I have played, and I have sampled or owned them all. I find the parts and construction equal to MXR.
I own the us dream (suhr riot clone). My neighbor owns the riot. The tone knob has to be turned slightly higher on the joyo to be as bright as the same riot tone knob. Otherwise the same.
The Biyang pedals actually have better construction and their phaser pedal does sound like a script logo MXR, but quieter. Softer tone than the newer MXR versions. The biyang phase pro (gfs retro phase, ...etc) is $10 more than JOYO and an even better bargain, in my opinion.

Re: JOYO Vintage Phaser?
Thanks for the first hand info on some of those pedals, atreidesheir.
There's what appears to be a dealer of these on Los Angeles Craigslist right now, slinging all 3 lines....Joyo, Biyang, and Moen. I can drive up the street and meet him at a coffee shop to buy one. For almost any of them at $45, it's getting pretty tempting.

The Moen Unicomp is a Diamond Compressor clone. It is the tits.
The Moen D Blue is a really quiet blues breaker.
The Moen Fuzz Moo is a boutique type Big Muff Pi.
The Moen Over Drive is a more balanced ts808. great booster.
These are on my main recording pedalboard now.
The Biyang Fuzz Star is a Big Muff Pi with three treble options.
" " " Max Distortion is a Rat with three treble options.
" " " Time Machine Delay is analog sounding with good repeats to 1100ms.
" " " Compress X is a script dynacomp that is the quietest compressor pedal I have ever heard, except for the old big box Carl Martin.
These biyangs are the ones I own and they are all amazing. They all replaced well-known and loved pedals on my David Gilmour pedalboard. That pedalboard is a lot quieter and well-behaved now.
I am available for endorsements of all these effects and willing to whore myself for free gear.:fingersx: but really these are some great pedals. The Joyos are definitely really good too. Love their compressor, ultimate overdrive, us dream, and high gain distortion (shredmaster).
The tri-reverb has some love on the forums. The price is surely right.
