    I've also actually ordered another Joyo... Without even trying it first. The Joyo Sweet Baby Low-Gain Overdrive. This Youtube demo just made me need to have it. It just sounds like the kind of overdrive I want.

    I'm on holiday now so my focus is on music. I think I got a pretty cool lead tone in this today. It's my Sheraton into the Bad Monkey which gives a lot of sustain, it is then "chopped up" by a very short 25 ms reverse delay on my Boss DD-20, it then goes through the new chorus into the the clean channel on my Peavey Valveking 112 with a lot of treble taken out on the amp's EQ. I think it sounds cool. This is an unfinished project, so it's well, unfinished, need to add more stuff to the song. I thought someone could be interested in the tone I got though, because I really like it.

    Getting that new amp a month back was such a great decision. It's so much more fun to play guitar nowadays.

    Careful with these JOYO's, Olof- they've got a bad reputation for dying young. I've almost bought their octave fuzz several times, though.

    Let me know how you like the OD. I'm too big a fan of my EH Small Clone to consider another chorus at this point, but I'm looking at getting a new OD. Tube Screamer is the front runner at the moment.

    Oh, serious kudos on this Kieran. I wish I had bought the one with the tone wicker but I caught a deal on the regular pi model on eBay and couldn't pass it up. That one definitely sounds better to my ears, though. I hope you have fun with it.

    Smashing Pumpkins songs sound amazing with that thing engaged.

    Cheers man. Yeah, I was on eBay and it looked like it was in great condition so like what yours was, I couldn't pass it up. Great deal.

    Decided to cancel the pedalboard plans (if I ever mentioned that) and am going to get my Line 6 M9 heavily modded instead (sound quality mod, better button mods, added scene select button mod)
    Just sold my telecaster tonight and in the same trip went to the music store and picked up a blue Ibanez artcore hollowbody that's been sitting there for months. Everytime I've gone in there I say "hey no one has still bought it!" well a few days ago I went in again and it was still there and I decided I'd sell my tele (didn't take long to find somebody) and pick it up. And it's freakin' awesome. Looks like this: (gotta love those inlays)

    Sweet mother of Zeus. That's softcore pornography right there.

  5. Couldn't agree more. I've always had a slight aversion against Ibanez's but their hollowbody series are great, not to mention the great color range they build them in... Holy Christ, seriously, that blueburst makes me wanna go to my music store and order another one like it straight away!
  6. Oh, you got it Alex!! That's great. Hope selling my LP will go that quickly, but I guess it won't.
  7. Thanks guys! Yeah Olof I don't think I've ever sold a guitar that fast lol, it was pretty sweet.

  8. You'd be surprised, Epi LP's are at a decent price on the new market, so knocking a few dollars off the pricetag for some buyers is EXTREMELY attractive. Guitars are easier to sell than you'd think!

    Good luck with the sale!
  9. Got the Joyo Sweet Baby today. It sounds like the overdrive I've been looking for. Very smooth overdrive and extremely responsive to pick attack. The Focus knob does really make a difference for when the breakup points happen.

    Now I'm questioning whether I need the Bad Monkey or not. Also gonna be looking to pick up a distortion pedal some time. I want one with a dry, sterile sound that takes a bit of the soul out of the sound to give it a... well, different incomplete soul.

  11. Watched some Proco Rat demos... Sounded good but felt like it was either a lot of distortion... Or an insane amount. Had no real low distortion setting. I'd also prefer something "colder". Any more suggestions?

    I watched two demos of the EHX Germanium 4 Big Muff Pi... Not the sound I'm looking for, but damn did it sound incredibly amazing...

    Also looking at reverbs. TC Electronic Hall Of Fame seems like a good one. One tough question though is how much do I need shimmer like for example the Verbzilla has?
