Joyo R-20 King of Kings 4-stars Reviews

Very versitle mid gain overdriver

As everybody knows, It's kind of clone "Analog Man" that is pretty much based on Bluesbraker overdriver pedal.

The nicest thing is that you have 2 independent overdrivers, that makes thing very flexible. The orverdriver can be very subtle in low gain and react to your pick getting more dirty. When you need more volume/distortion, just hit the second one and you have it.

One thing that a notice: It has a lot of compression, so it sounds horrible if you have something before it (another overdriver, distortion, fuzz). It will compress and remove all the gain you added before. So, it only works for me in the very beginning of my signal chain.

Also, is very bright, at least with my Jazzmaster in a clean amp. You may like or not. Eventually with hambuckers or P90's this is not a issue. Some EQ can make it work like you wish.

The cliping switches are useless for me (all off sounds better)

Well spent money

From light crunch to natural and dynamic overdrive, it works very well. No mosquito-like distortion, various combination with different amounts of saturation (and different volumes, that's the tricky part). It's a versatile device for blues, pop and rock. I use it with valve amps and I'm truly satisfied. If you have a single coil guitar (I own a Strato) keep an eye on trebles and middles, needless to say.

A great, cost-effective sound shaper

I've purchased this pedal to pair the famous Harley Benton GA-15 valve amp and add some crunch and boost to my lead parts and am satisfied with the results. Now I can play a wide range of bluesy tones at home and it makes it really enjoyable and fun.

The fact that it is dual and you can configure how each half runs on top of the other makes it very versatile.

The construction of the pedal is solid and the light indicators are cool.

It really worths the price
