Review: works well, can be modified for a richer darker "fuzz" tone - Sounds OK out of the box, but could be better considering the well known circuit it's based on. It's a little "tinny" and favours the higher pitch, but works well otherwise. Modified mine to resemble the original circuit, there are a couple of videos on Youtube to help if you want to do the same. Otherwise, good pedal, well built and sounds can be modified to your preference.
Review: Its green and good - This thing is actually great for the price, im not a fan of the slim style pedals so this was ideal. Looks great on the board with a gnarly scorpion and illuminous green. I've used it on guitar and bass and it really does smooth out the tone. If your after a cheap compressor I would highly recommend it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice pedal for DI, but not as much into an amp
*by J***S on 1 December 2023*

Really nice pedal for DI into a audio interface, sounds great to me. I only have two issues with it, one is that it gets quite noisy past 3 o clock position on the drive knob, and seems to pick up radio signals, but you really don't have to push it past 3 o clock. If you want more gain, you can use a boost, it doesn't boost the noise like the drive knob does. The only other issue is the built-in cab sim can't be turned off, so it's not great as an overdrive pedal, which is a shame, since I believe the pedal it's based on later added a cab sim toggle. If they ever make a V2 of this pedal series, they need to include that! It would make it even more versatile and much more usable with an amp. It would mean that you could use a vst IR plugin, or you could plug it into a cabinet, or the power amp section of an amp without having the cab sim clash with the real cab. It would increase the versatility by a lot. Also, Joyo, if you're reading this, is the pedal designed to be used as an overdrive, as well as a DI? Or only DI? Because on your UK website, it doesn't really mention that you can use it like a regular overdrive pedal into a real amp, it makes it seem like you should only use it as DI, but I believe the pedal that this is based on says that you can also use it as an overdrive, because the cab sim isn't too strong. But it doesn't say this on your site. Other than that, it's great for the price, and I'm probably going to buy the American Sound too!
