Hello!

I´m trying to choose among the three pedals above and from the YouTube videos I´ve watched, they´re identical. Has anybody had the chance to compare them?

if you want the tones and on a budget
the Joyo is identical and less expensive

if you want resale value if you dont like it
get the mad professor

I am cheap and never sell pedals
so I would get the budget friendly one

Joyo all day for me
 
There is a LOT of love for the Joyo Sweet Baby.

If you are not putting it to hard use, or using as an always on, I say go there.
 
Sometimes you can snag a used Mad Professor sweet honey Deluxe for reasonable money. It has additional bass and treble pots.

I've not tried the Sweet Baby but my oldest got a Joyo Vintage Overdrive for Christmas last year. It's a TS808 clone and I have to say, it's pretty spot on. I compared it against a real vintage 808 from 1981 and I could not really tell the difference. The Joyo is maybe a touch brighter but you really gotta listen for it. An incredible value for under $40.

I tried the Joyo Vintage OD and found the noise floor too high, which could very well be a unit-by-unit QC issue. I also tried Caline's Sweet Honey clone the Queen Bee but thought it was too thick in the lower mids.

I have a Joyo Sweet Baby arriving tomorrow, so hoping it is as good as it is billed to be

I've not had a noise floor issue with it. No more noisier than my TS-9.

I got the Sweet Baby today and it is dead quiet. I'm finding it similar to my BD-2 but with more girth / thickness at lower-moderate gain. The BD-2 has much more gain available. They do stack nicely SB->BD2. My OD-3, which I've found a little too "woofy" since day 1 is now on Reverb.
 
I have the sweet baby , it's quiet and it seems well built, chinese stuff isn't always the same, this is well made
