It's crazy the quality you can get with some cheap pedals these days. I still get amazed at some of the pedals which can get sold cheaper than I can buy parts to build them.

A lot of times I've shot out some cheap brands against the ones I've built there's not a lot in it. Usually mine are a bit quieter with higher build quality but the sound difference is not any larger than parts tolerances would normally account for.

I honestly like my Joyo Vintage drive better than any TS808 or TS9 I have ever owned, and I have owned many. It's not as stark in the mids.

As far as I've seen it's a straight up clone so the component tolerances of that particular pedal could give it a midrange you find particularly pleasing.

I fully support blatantly ripping off friedman products


I had the be-od for a bit (purchased used of course) pretty cool pedal

I had it also and this one is pretty close. Doesn't seem to have the mids that the real one had but putting a TS808 type drive in front of it cures that and sends it into something that could live permanently on my main pedalboard.

I think you just talked me into buying a $35 Joyo Sweet Baby I just spotted on Craigslist.

The sweet baby is pretty good. My friend had one which sounded very close to the sweet honey clone I'd built.

I have one. It is a nice light OD. Very musical and built well enough.

Just ordered one. Watched a few demos. Sealed it.

Also have you opened it up and configured the dip switches?

Yeah I've played with it a lil bit. Just changed it to clean boost into OD after having it set to OD/OD for a while.

Nice so it can cascade into the 2nd drive circuit? I was hoping that but no demos mentioned it.
