SirChewey Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Hi Guys, I'd just like to let people know about this pedal. It's a new addition to my rig and have tried quite a few compressor pedals over the years for my basses but this one has shocked me at how good it is especially coupled with my Jazz. It claims to be a representation of classic Ross pedal, and I think by representation they mean that it actually is - it certainly sounds amazing. It has personality and retains punch and clarity throughout even at higher compression settings. For under £30 you can't beat this pedal. It's stunning for the money and came with a battery. Anyone buying this certainly won't be sorry. Link to ebay below if you want to buy one. If anyone is interested, I'll try and get a recording up on Youtube sometime next week.

peteb Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Seems a bit too good to be true! Anyone here tried one?? Quote

[/quote] Believe me mate - for the cash - you won't find a better one! I'm just an average Joe with a heart of bass, just like every other on here. I searched for ages to find anyone who had written a review on these that uses bass but with no luck. Hopefully, this thread will cause a few people with a spare 30 nuggets in their Paypal to go purchase and add to this thread. Would be great to hear other peoples opinion. Quote
mike257 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Heard nothing but good stuff about these Joyo pedals - I'm hankering for the OCD clone (Ultimate Overdrive) for my guitar board. Seems like they're awesome for £30. Did you have to wait long for delivery? Aren't they usually shipped from way out east? Quote
Bassnut62 Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 just taken the plunge on the compressor - hope it doesn't take too long to arrive Quote
algmusic Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 clips would be great thanks.. with and without the comp Quote
Bassnut62 Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Not really sorted for clip recording.... I'll try and sort it out tho..... Any tips for getting clips posted so basschatterers can listen with ease direct from a post on here? Quote

[/quote] i had trouble doing this a while back, so i signed up for Soundcloud. .. dead easy to do, and easy to access. just follow the instructions, takes but a few minutes. [url="http://soundcloud.com/"]http://soundcloud.com/[/url] make sure you label your samples with some relevant info e.g. 'Joyo comp clip', to make life easy. i'm looking forward to hearing this, as i need something to smoothe out my signal in front of my Octavius squeezer, preferably on the cheap.

Bassnut62 Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Anyone tried the Joyo octave-up fuzz? If this compressor is as good as peops say, I reckon i will have bad GAS for the up-fuzz! Quote

grum Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 I've just ordered one of these, and a delay. Too cheap to resist the GAS There is a decent review of the octave fuzz on talkbass and some nice sound clips. Might get one too! Quote
MixMan Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Great. It would be great with some bass sound clips of the Joyo JF-10 with compressor on and off.....and maybe even also a completely clean clip (I.E. no pedal plugged in). In my experience sometimes even True Bypass colours the sound....... Quote

Musky Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Just a thought, but is anyone getting hit with import charges for these things? £30 is a total bargain but £50 less so, although still good value. Quote
Bassnut62 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 still no sign of mine, maybe it got held up in customes then... meanwhile, my GAS is building up somethin' rottten and I am liable to explode with a very loud bass burp! Quote
Bassnut62 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 phew, saved by the bell, my colleagues don't have to suffer the dreaded BASS BURP after all. the compressor just turned up and it has a customs decalaration on back with a declared value of $6 and no customs fee to pay; but b*#~ocks, I've been had, it's only worth $6! parcel is well wrapped and pedal comes in a nice box. it all looks good so far. I'll have a play with it when I get some time over w/e and try and get some clips up as soon as I can after that. Quote

[/quote] If you buy it from UKET (in the UK), then no, there are no outstanding import charges - you pay the £30 you expect to pay. Quote
