JOYOJF-08 Digital Delay Effect Pedal

Good piece of gear for the price. The sound quality is good, no hum or buzz, the delay effect works well through a wide range of adjustment and it is solidly built. But, as Scotty (for you Star Trek fans) once said, "Well the equipment's guaranteed but I have my doubts about the stuff inside." That applies here; but this and the other two Joyo pedals I have work well and let let you experiment with various effects before you invest in the high end gear you really want. When you're done and ready to get your MXR, Way Huge or whatever pedal you're into, you pass the Joyo on to the kids and they are very happy. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Besides, if it doesn't work you can return it and Amazon is very good about that.

Ok I did it, I went cheap. I not going to answer to the durability and reliability of this delay pedal because I'm less then a month in with it. I bought this with two others the vintage phaser and pocket metal both of which I like. This delay I got it as a second delay for shorter delay times and my primary for the long spacey attack. I got to say it's pretty nice, works and functions as one should. I get mine just pass the reverby tone into 3-4 repeat slap. It's not overly noisey and simple to use. Mine stays pretty much all knobs at 11 o clock, like the true bypass, I thought the one I was getting was silver but too my surprise I got bronze, yeah! I'd like if it had dial numbers but that's cool, I feel it's warm almost analogue and pleasing to my ears. I think if it makes it for a year it's worth the 30 bucks, I do hope it lasts. So if your not snobby you'll probably be fine with it, just remember it's not a super long delay but it will get pretty crazy. Try it out joyos ok with me, it's the player that really counts! Buy it through the Amazon vendor cheaperpedals.com. They test before shipping which is nice!Product update 4/3/2016After 11 months and several gigs I find this to be a great short delay pedal. Noise to me is minimal, good piece of cheap gear! I also have a biyang delay which I think is a little bit nicer, longer delay and smaller package but this is fine.

I've been waiting to write a review on this pedal because I wanted it to see some actions. 5 months and 4 gigs later, it's holding up like the day I got it.First let me say how I have this setup. I have a boss bcb-60 pedal board. Everything on the board is running through my amps Effect Loop (amp is a peavey valveking). The JF-80 is first in line, second is a line 6 M9. And yes, I love the JF-80 sound better than the line 6 delays!!I never run pedals on battery because batteries are unreliable. However, I did test using a battery and I noticed no change. Since then it's been plugged into the pedal board.This pedal is built strong. The switch feels solid and the whole thing is metal. The true bypass is perfect and I notice absolutely no noise or signal loss being plugged in.My only negative observation (not a complaint) is that I wish the setting nobs were a little tighter. I notice that when I pack up my pedal, I'm always turning the nobs. I've marked the positions for the settings I like with a sharpie so it's no big deal.If you own this pedal and like it, I strongly urge you to write a review. It's a shame this doesn't have a better rating. I love this pedal. It sounds absolutely perfect for what I need.

UPDATE FOLLOWS:Unfortunately I must downgrade this to a 1-star review. You can see my original review below. The first JF-08 I received was dead out of the box. The seller replaced it. The replacement only worked out of the box long enough for me to try it and to write a review. The next time I tried using it, it was dead like the original. When you press the switch, the light comes on but the pedal does not work. (At random, sometimes it will turn on when you press the switch, then it is dead the next time that you turn it on.) This happens with both battery power and adapter power. It's very disappointing because I do like the sound of this pedal. I've contacted the seller, and am hoping that they can do something for me. There is obviously a batch of Joyo JF-08s out there with a build defect or bad part(s). I would avoid this one.-----------------------------ORIGINAL REVIEW FOLLOWS:It says Digital Delay on the box but to my ear this is a nice analog delay, which I prefer. It does not color the sound like some delay pedals do. I can get those classic 80s U2 ehco guitar sounds, or dial it back for a very subtle delay to use as part of my default sound. It's a very versatile and warm pedal.I was tempted to give this pedal a 4-star rating but I must give it a 3 because it is not quiet and the pots do not move smoothly. It adds some ground hum when turned on, and in my case I intend to have it on all the time in my effects loop. (I'm going to try some different power adapters, power bars, outlet, maybe put the effect in front of the amp etc. to see if I can minimize the hum.)It's easy to over rate these pedals when they are only $30 or $40 but I didn't want to fall into that trap. They should work properly. They are cheap BUT the price is low because wages are low in China, there is no advertising, no packaging apart from a a sticker on a generic box, and your dealing directly with China in most cases rather than a middle-man in North America or Europe.Joyo quality control IS an issue. My first Joyo Digital Delay was dead out of the box. The vendor I dealt with was fantastic. They replaced it immediately and it arrived quicker than I expected. I also own a couple of other Joyo pedals. One works perfectly, the other also has a noise issue.Joyo are great value, but I think it is the luck of the draw as to whether you will get a dud, an OK one or perfection.

Pour le prix elle fait le job mieux que certaines grosses marque je la recommande sans problème

Llego en perfectas condiciones y justo a tiempo.... Tiene un gran sonido y lo recomiendo

Ottimo delay economico. Sinceramente per quanto mi riguarda ha superato le mie aspettative. Solido e ben assemblato. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.

Wonderful product, sounds awesome! ❤️

Discovered Joyo products one month ago. I now have 4 Joyo pedals, and doubt I'll buy anything else by other companies. These pedals are every bit as good as their counterparts, and at a fraction of the price.
