Joyo R20 King or Kings
very old blues player 08.09.2022
There are only a few online video's on this pedal. Check them out as this pedal is way worth it. Although it is budget the sound isn't and running it into a valve amp gives an extremely acceptable dual or single overdriven tone which backs off well on the guitar or vol/pedal. I have tried a King of Tone but can not afford one and may not be alive by the time one could be delivered but after using this I would no longer buy one anyway.
Highly recommended.

Very versitle mid gain overdriver
diegoicosta 31.07.2023
As everybody knows, It's kind of clone "Analog Man" that is pretty much based on Bluesbraker overdriver pedal.

The nicest thing is that you have 2 independent overdrivers, that makes thing very flexible. The orverdriver can be very subtle in low gain and react to your pick getting more dirty. When you need more volume/distortion, just hit the second one and you have it.

One thing that a notice: It has a lot of compression, so it sounds horrible if you have something before it (another overdriver, distortion, fuzz). It will compress and remove all the gain you added before. So, it only works for me in the very beginning of my signal chain.

Also, is very bright, at least with my Jazzmaster in a clean amp. You may like or not. Eventually with hambuckers or P90's this is not a issue. Some EQ can make it work like you wish.

The cliping switches are useless for me (all off sounds better)

King of Tone copy
Clichematic 16.09.2024
Very nice and realistic sounding overdrive pedal, lots of variation in sound.
Only thing I did not like are the cheap plastic chrome knobs. Replace them asap

A great, cost-effective sound shaper
javi mora 11.12.2022
I've purchased this pedal to pair the famous Harley Benton GA-15 valve amp and add some crunch and boost to my lead parts and am satisfied with the results. Now I can play a wide range of bluesy tones at home and it makes it really enjoyable and fun.

The fact that it is dual and you can configure how each half runs on top of the other makes it very versatile.
The construction of the pedal is solid and the light indicators are cool.

It really worths the price

Well spent money
Gipisimi 17.05.2023
From light crunch to natural and dynamic overdrive, it works very well. No mosquito-like distortion, various combination with different amounts of saturation (and different volumes, that's the tricky part). It's a versatile device for blues, pop and rock. I use it with valve amps and I'm truly satisfied. If you have a single coil guitar (I own a Strato) keep an eye on trebles and middles, needless to say.

Nice integrated overdrive/boost pedal.
Lechum 24.04.2023
Solid build. Sounds are good. I found using the right hand side for overdrive and the left hand side for boost works well. No proper explanation of what the switches do, so it's trial and error to get what you like. Good value for money.

Great sounding pedal
Bgfgf 05.07.2023
Wasn't 100% convinced about this pedal but played it live at a gig recently and was really impressed. Once I had it dialled in on the sound check it really came into its own. Left hand channel adds some lovely crunch into a driven valve amp and stacking gain with right hand channel gives a really nice lead sound. I think this is comparable at the very least to some of the more expensive boutique options. I think the build quality reflects the price but the sound quality punches way way above the price point.

Cheap and great sounding
guitarnewbie 23.09.2023
Yes, there is some hiss, but it might just be from the gain. But for this price, I think it sounds phenomenal. Build quality is nice, it just feels light-weight - but again, can't expect it to feel like a tank at this price range.

Great pedal
Kir21 28.10.2023
Everything great.
Except:
- if you max up, or close to max up, gain on both sides there will be A LOT OF NOISE. And I mean that. Surprised that nobody mention that in the reviews.
- B channel is quite lower on volume compared to A one. But this part was mentioned in almost all reviews so maybe it as it should be.

Apart from that great pedal.
