Amazon has the JOYO Digital Delay Effect Pedal for Electric Guitar JF-08 for $30.

This is a digital pedal but with an analog sound according to reviewers. Inputs on the side of the pedal, for better fit on the pedal board.

PT2399-based circuit as I suspected, so it's sort of a hybrid digital-analog circuit. Quick search seems to point to this being a (not quite 100%) clone of the PT80 Delay, which itself is a take on the Ibanez AD80

Keep in mind with this "Digital" Delay that it is mono. There is a drastic and dramatic difference between a stereo delay pedal and a mono delay pedal. Just wanted to point that out in case somebody missed it.

On the other side, I could show you that right now where I type .. I probably have over $3,000 in JUST GUITAR PEDALS within 20 feet of me. Hell, I've got five wah-wah pedals. I've been using guitar pedals since 1978 so I've seen and used about everything with this stuff.

And honestly .. I find the JOYO pedals to be PRETTY DOGGONE GOOD. And I mean that. Not bad. I don't like any of the other goofy brands (Behringer, Donner, etc.) except Mooer. And I will tell you that I bought a NUX headphone amp (MP-3) that blew my socks clean off my feet. So, take that for what you paid to read it.

  • JOYO, Mooer, NUX


Those are the better brands of these kind of pedals.

I have the "American Tone" Joyo pedal in this format and it is just flat out sweet, man. Pure Fender Twin Reverb .. cab and all .. in one pedal.

I am thinking of buying the JOYO Flanger pedal. On Amazon right now they have it for less than $30. If anybody has any experience with that particular pedal, please let me know. It sounds like what I need it for on YouTube videos. Dunno.

Also .. keep in mind from, somebody who has WAY WAY too many doggone guitar pedals that I bought a FBV Express MkII MIDI footboard and I hook it up to Amplitube and Overloud through Reaper and .. o my gawd ... I just feel like a complete jackass for spending all this money on guitar pedals. Hell, in those programs .. you just .... DRAG IT OVER to the signal chain and *BOOM* .. you have a stereo digital delay. Or killer stereo Reverb. Or phaser. Or whatever. Cost? 3 seconds of your time to drag it over there.

I need that JOYO flanger because I wrote a song where I need real fast ON/OFF capabilities and that FBV Express has a bunch of footswitches close together and sometimes I flat-out *MISS* the proper button with my foot. So, for that one particular song, I need a separate platform with just the one button I can't miss. Considered the BOSS stereo flanger. Ahh, little expensive. I'll spend the money if I have to but .. if anybody can give their opinion on that JOYO flange, I'd appreciate it.

Also considering that new BOSS Headphone amp, the Katana:Go but .. not real impressed with the sounds on YouTube videos. If you have it, tell me what you think of it.

And I'll tell ya what ,, the "virtual guitar pedals" in Amplitube or Overloud that can be controlled by an FBV Express MKII footboard .... whew .. hey, man .. I have all the incentive in the world to tell you they sound bad and don't work right with all this investment I have in existing guitar pedals .. but the real truth, the facts are this: those virtual pedals sound better than guitar pedals. Because every one of these pedals for sale .. $540 Strymon or $30 JOYO .. every one has a computer chip in it to emulate the sound. Every one. And you HAVE a massively SUPERIOR computer chip running right now as you look at this message. A computer chip that could perform millions of other tasks WHILE performing the pedal function. Just blatantly superior.

So, take it from a doofus old dude like me ... stop spending thousands on overpriced guitar pedals. Getcha a foot MIDI controller and get Amplitube.

The value and savings is just STUPID .. STUPID LUDICROUS ...

The point is well-taken, but after working with computers and mice and such all day long, I don't want any kind of computer-like interface when I'm practicing. Worse, the sheer number of options in the apps and modeling amps alike is enough to drive me to distraction.

It is made worse by modeling amps/apps telling me that such and such an effect sounds like physical device X. (For example, the yellow overdrive that is supposed to be a Boss OD-1 or the green overdrive that sounds like an Tubescreamer. Or the Fender GTX amp that says it's modeling a Princeton Reverb.) The sounds can be good, but they often sound NOTHING like the thing they claim to duplicate. In contrast, every Tubescreamer I've tried (even my not-green TS-7) sounds basically like an actual Tubescreamer.

Even better, the knobs on every pedal I've used indicate the exact setting. The old Line 6 Pod 2.0 kidney-shaped thing sounds fantastic even 20 years on, but it's so easy to knock it off a predefined/saved setting. Then I spend 2-3 minutes just figuring out how to get the delay time back to where I had it. (Yes, I've read the manual, the longer one, even.) With the pedal, this is trivial.

This is all opinion, and I encourage everyone to choose what works best for them. But when I'm ready to practice, I just want to plug in, tune up, and go, engaging the one or two pedals I like for a given guitar. The less I'm touching a mouse or keyboard, or figuring out a user interface, the better.

This is exactly why I don't use "modeling" amps and effects. I like simple controls and I don't want to have to program my gear. Probably the most complex things I own are my Roadster and JVM410
