vikramjit banerjee I agree. It has more of a metallic edge to the sound. Great video, Nico. It really helped me nail down which overdrive I'm going to buy.
I was kind of shocked...I've been using the Joyo Vintage Overdrive for a few months now and I figured I would put some money on a Tube Screamer eventually...but I think I won't, now.
I was thinking A THE WHOLE TIME! Screamer seems to pull back certain frequencies and reduced expression. 65 year old ears factor -2 Db. My mid's are naturally scooped a little. Choose to get JOYO Thanks again for a great video review.. I think you are at the TOP on Pedal reviews. JUST RIGHT.
I think the difference is that minimal, that it really wouldn't matter to me which one I used. I like the Joyo stuff. Haven't had a bad one yet, and I have 5 of them.
I’m really surprised cuz I liked A a lot more. It punched more and drove the tone more. And I’m even more blown away to find out it was the cheaper one
This is how every comparison video should be - blind! Awesome stuff! Thank you! Joyo for me all day. I actually immediately knew which one was which - from other comparison videos I knew the Ibanez sounds smoother and the Joyo has more edge. I definitely prefer edge. :))) An even more fun thing to do would be to switch which pedal is A or B for each music bit. This way we would have to rely entirely on our ears to see which one we prefer in the context of each setting/music.
They really are very close. For most of the samples I preferred the Joyo pedal. It sounded more articulate and had a better response in the mid range to my ears. It's important if you're trying to cut through the mix in a four or five piece band. It's no surprise to me that the Joyo pedal performed so well. I own a few and they all sound amazing. Besides at one fifth the price it's really a no brainer. Joyo is the way to go IMO.
I might be wrong, but the Joyo is a copy of the 808 rather than the TS9 - I think this might account for the main difference in sound (to my ears, the Ibanez has a bit of a low mid bump compared to the joyo)
After owning the Joyo for a while I can tell the difference. Luckily I forgot the order before re-watching. The Joyo is brasher and bigger sounding, but it's also harsher. There is a pleasant texture to the TS9. I prefer it over the Joyo.
Hey Nico, glad to be amongst your first 500 subscribers. Really good video right here. I actually liked sample A better and was praying the whole time that would be ts9, which is what I have. Would love it if you could do a video on John Mayer tone or maybe other ts9 tone stacking options. TS9s are really great for stacking
+Sean Wong woa Sean thanks! Great suggestions! I was thinking to do some stacking stuff later on and also making a series on how to get influential guitarists tone through playing and gear! Currently I' m working on a vid about getting the most out of our amps! Cheers!
That would be super man. Really good stuff that you're doing and I really dig it. Really hope to see your channel grow and let me know whenever you come to Singapore, would be great to have a beer and talk guitar. Ciao!
Thanks Sean, comments like these means a lot to me! That would be great to meet in singapore! I also have a facebook page, if you want to stay in touch! very small, but I think it's a great way to build and saty in close contact with you guys! the link is in the description! cheers :)
got the Joyo for x-mas, paired it with the Joyo Tremolo, and never looked back! :D Guess this puts the whole "cheap Chinese clones are shit" argument to bed
Nico Bellisario - Guitar, Music & Stuff Donner flanger beats out BOSS, and the Morpher distortion has gain for DAYS. The Ninety Orange goes great with a Dunlop Rotovibe as well lol
I was in a band Someone for 7 years who was a great guy, a good player and songwriter. When we started he had a good tone but after a year he bought a metal Zone. I ducking hated it so much. Then he bought a second metal zone to cascade. If someone can’t hear how awful that sounds by themselves there’s little point telling them i concluded.
Me gusta mucho más el sonido del palm mute del Joyo, es más agresivo y "gordo" me recuerda al metal pesado de los 80's La única diferencia que escucho es que el Joyo tiene un poquito más de agudos y gain que el TS9, el mejor clon que he escuchado
At last a video where someone can choose a pedal without the prejudice of brand! I've listened many times the sample and..... I will buy a joyo, although ibanez sounds clearest, because I prefer the dirty sound of it... congratulations for the video
the ts has a little bit more bass than the joyo thats why it creates an illusion of better brightness, but it just reveals that the ts has a better sound quality keeping the lows while on
I'm listening with a quality laptop PC with great sound, through a quality pair of headphones. There is no comparison, Sample A is consistently better, it has more clarity, is not as muddy. Joyo wins by a mile. Great comparison by the way, one of the best I have seen.
In the first two SRV songs I prefered The Tube Screamer also as in La grange, but in the other in the AC/DC songs the Joyo sounded better.. and the others, i just couldn't tell which one was better.... And even when I chose a prefered one they were VERY close! I'm really impressed!
Nico Bellisario - Guitar, Music & Stuff in fact I bought one Vintage drive from joyo and I'll buy a ts9... I'll make the comparison with the songs I play as there are songs that sound better in a specific pedal
Show, João! Tb estou com o Joyo VtOd, aguardo tua comparação. vlw guitarpedia-blog.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/19930_San_Dimas_Brazil_Flag_C9337_1.jpg
When you were setting them up, did you match the gain level by ear or use the knob positions? I much preferred the sound of A but I suspect it might be because it was set to higher gain
Hey William! Both pedals were set identically as shown in the graphics. It seems to me as well, especially on lower gain settings that the Joyo has more gain but at full blast they seem almost the same. It also seems to me that the joyo has a fatter voicing while the tubescreamer has a bit more "sophisticated" voice, especially on single notes
The sound differences could also have been caused by the difference in pots due to tolerances and taper. For a closer comparison in future videos I'd suggest using one pedal as a reference and tweaking the other by ear to have a simular level of gain and treble. That way you can be more sure what you are hearing are differences in the circuit as opposed to the variations in components. Love the playing will be keeping an eye out for the next one
Great Vid and playing, i have the TS 808 and the HB vintage overdrive. Both are good. The Ibanez is more nasal, the vintage sounds a little more distorted. If money is not the question i recommend the Ibanez.
I like the Joyo!! This pedal is Awesome!! More cheaper and do things better then TS9. And this pedal is beautiful by the way, Thanks man for this video
I preferred the A on each sample. It's clearer and a bit brighter while B sounded more muffled and a bit muddy at times. Probabily just a little tweak to the tone knob can get one to sound exactly like the other
Joyo make good pedal efects at low cost. Some people say that are trash but i've been using a Dyna Compressor and a Vitange Phaser for about a year and didnt have any problem, buuut these pedals are'nt clones, the Phaser is not like a Phase 90 or a Small Stone and the Dyna Compressor is'nt a clone of the MXR Dyna Comp. The Vintage Phaser plus my Deluxe Big Muff Pi make a awesone couple! Add the Dyna Compressor and you get a nasty infinite sustain. Good comparison btw, u got my subscription!
I could tell immediately that B was the tube screamer by it’s thinner, quieter tone. Imo for my style of playing, the joyo blows the TS clean out of the water and sounds a world better. The TS was probably super impressive, back in 1983.
You are correct. The TS was very impressive and we all had one. I'm off to get the Joyo though. It sounds like what I always wanted the Tube Scream to sound like.
I did a video recording via phone camera on my revv g3 which has some random bad connections which result in lower output. The differences is obvious when u heard it thru live, but thru the recording the differences is minimum. If one is after better quality tone, especially at home.The differences became more obvious when u used the original one on a quality tube amp and a noise reduction room. But if one use it for gig or jam, i think no one would pay attention to the differences when the singer screams and the drum rolled. Depends on your need. Today budget pedals are just bang for the bucks.
wow i really am impressed with the tone of the joyo. i kept thinking sample A sounded better and I just assumed it was the tube screamer because it's more known and more expensive. might be buying a joyo!
I have the joyo and i use it every rehearsal. I couldn't tell which one it was. Damn close. Just found the TS a little more bright. In the end, it's just different flavors of the same thing, none is really better. Joyo stuff is really impressive. By the way, subscribed !
Don't forget you're hearing playback via MP3 not wav so we're losing a lot of the quality sound with the compression. The differences between the quality of the effects that the Ibanez provides may be lost in translation.
blind test : I thought a was a little better . not much in it , could probably tweak them to be virtually identical . I bought a joyo VO a few weeks ago . nothing bad to say , does its job very well. Build quality is not super but for 30$ I wouldn't worry about it.
Well, I'll be damned. I've been playing with a Tube Screamer for 35 years. I was convinced that I knew which one was the TS. To my surprise, I was wrong. I need to improve my sound. Off to go purchase the Joyo. Sounds much better.
I had guessed that A tones were from the Joyo, maybe because they sounded a bit heftier, but I've just been lucky. Very very similar sounding. Great job on your part.
Nico Bellisario - Guitar, Music & Stuff This adjective occurred to me listening to your test. It seems that there's one more Joyo clone of the TS(!) named Green Legend, defined as "creamier" by someone who tried it. The firm says it has the same chip that's in the Vintage. The two could be more suitable for different sound nuances, genres or guitar types... what about it Nico?
A joke? Well I didn't get it, probably because it didn't start with "knock, knock."In that case I'll ask you "why did the dinosaur cross the road? Because they didn't have chickens in those days." And now I'll get hate mail from creationists...
Some bits I could barely tell the difference. but when I could I chose A every time. Funny thing is I already have the Joyo and was thinking about getting the Tube screamer to replace it.... Guess not.
Hey Nico...my name's Mike...I live in Portugal...I have a big fucking collection of pedals and I've got the Joyo/Harley Benton Vintage OD and the Maxon OD808...but the Maxon is an 808 sound and the joyo that you are demoing is a TS9 sound.
Tengo el Joyo y es un pedal increíble por el precio la única diferencia con el Ibanez es que el Joyo con el drive a más del 75 % hace un poco mas de hum . Pero en sonido es prácticamente idéntico al Ibanez. Buena demo,me gusta su manera de tocar la guitarra tiene usted buen toque. 👍
I *knew* from the get-go that "B" was the TS9 because the mid-range bump was more pronounced and more focused. Which is *exactly* what I want in a Tube Screamer-type overdrive. If you liked "A" (the Joyo) better then I got news for 'ya - you don't prefer "Tube Screamer-type" overdrives. - cuz the Joyo *ain't* one.
Yes, the Joyo has LESS of that mid-hump but it's not that dissimilar. It's well placed within the TS family. Louder? Yes. Brighter? Yes. Less middy? Yes. A TS type pedal? Yep.
Thought a sounded better was hoping it's was the cheap one I had the very first screamer died a couple of years ago will replace with a moyo also had heard that the Behringer was pretty good
I prefer the Joyo it sounded better to my ears
:)
vikramjit banerjee I agree. It has more of a metallic edge to the sound.
Great video, Nico. It really helped me nail down which overdrive I'm going to buy.
+Glen McQuestion thanks Glen, you're welcome :)
We at The Funmobile preferred the Joyo Pedal, too. The BOSS Pedal sounded a little thinner when not cranked to 100%
I too! I was really surprised!
am i going to get flamed that i thought A was tube screamer because I thought it sounded better? wow. i'm impressed.
You're not alone! ;D I was surprised when he revealed the A was Joyo.
I was kind of shocked...I've been using the Joyo Vintage Overdrive for a few months now and I figured I would put some money on a Tube Screamer eventually...but I think I won't, now.
Same here.
Me too. I just bought The Demon Pedal, same as Joyo
A sounds better}
Preferred A. Brighter, more dynamic. Thanks for this comparison.
Be honest the joyo killed the ts9. The ts9 sounded dead. The VO was alive and cranking!
Was genuinely surprised A was Joyo, much better sound, gain and mids. Fuck, buying it right now.
I was thinking A THE WHOLE TIME! Screamer seems to pull back certain frequencies and reduced expression. 65 year old ears factor -2 Db. My mid's are naturally scooped a little. Choose to get JOYO
Thanks again for a great video review.. I think you are at the TOP on Pedal reviews. JUST RIGHT.
Thanks James! :)

I love the Joyo Vintage Overdrive - has all the classic sounds if the TS9 without the bass loss. Might but a second one to cascade together.
LoL, it has the bass loss too... Cause the EQ is EXACTLY the same on both...
WOW, I'm actually liking the Joyo products on this comparison. not only a great sound, but great price and build quality 👍
This is how every comparison video should be - blind! Awesome stuff! Thank you! Joyo for me all day. I actually immediately knew which one was which - from other comparison videos I knew the Ibanez sounds smoother and the Joyo has more edge. I definitely prefer edge. :)))

Yup - TubeScreamers were engineered with the mid-bump in mind.
I prefer the sample A in most of the cases.
I preferred the Joyo...
After owning the Joyo for a while I can tell the difference. Luckily I forgot the order before re-watching. The Joyo is brasher and bigger sounding, but it's also harsher. There is a pleasant texture to the TS9. I prefer it over the Joyo.
My ears heard a little more clarity in the higher frequencies with the Joyo! To each his own though! Both amazing pedals.
Well said! Thanks Chase :)
Thanks Nico. Great comparison.
Thanks! :)

i'll check em out, thanks!
Holy smokes! I need a metal zone! You fooled me, man. Now if only Joyo would hurry up and ship me that little diamond in the rough.
i thought A was the tube screamer to. but the surprise was to discover that B was the Metal Zone!! is that a modded metal zone?
Was it Really?? On second thought, I did catch the faint sound of a Cat caught in a Dumpster Fire... Dead giveaway.
I was in a band

the best thing in this video is the "Vito Corleone-Look" at 4:04 !!!🤣
Dig the way you presented it! Wish more vids were set with the "blind" comparison. Thanks!
Wow...I thought for sure A was not the joyo....very impress with the sound....I pick A...thank you for a great demo...
The joyo sounds better because of the loudness. You need to hear it live to do a comparison
I like the Joyo!! This pedal is Awesome!! More cheaper and do things better then TS9. And this pedal is beautiful by the way, Thanks man for this video
I just ordered the Joyo so I was searching for reviews. I was sure that A was an Ibanez TS. I'm very happy with the results!
Nice reviews bro,by the way is joyo vintage overdrive works with distortion pedal's too..?
Yeah👌
@@NicoBellisarioMusic Thnx bro,it's okay if i add t-rex booster?
I preferred the A on each sample. It's clearer and a bit brighter while B sounded more muffled and a bit muddy at times. Probabily just a little tweak to the tone knob can get one to sound exactly like the other

after this ... joyo ... on my "get" list. amazed. i selected the joyo! more "midrangey" to my ears. right down the middle, which i prefer.
Eric Belopolsky I’ve had one for about 4 years and honestly I was so impressed by the sound. It’s incredible for the money
Josh More thanks so much for your response. im now giong to put this on my list!
Very good test! I got it!!
glad it helped!
I liked the Joyo more
B sounded better when used as a boost quite a different sound when used as a boost, more clarity on the notes with the Ibanez
Tubescreamer with the single coils and Joyo with humbucker sounded best to my ears.
I did a video recording via phone camera on my revv g3 which has some random bad connections which result in lower output. The differences is obvious when u heard it thru live, but thru the recording the differences is minimum.
If one is after better quality tone, especially at home.The differences became more obvious when u used the original one on a quality tube amp and a noise reduction room.
But if one use it for gig or jam, i think no one would pay attention to the differences when the singer screams and the drum rolled.
Depends on your need. Today budget pedals are just bang for the bucks.
The single notes give it away. Also I love your inebriated videos!
wow i really am impressed with the tone of the joyo. i kept thinking sample A sounded better and I just assumed it was the tube screamer because it's more known and more expensive. might be buying a joyo!
I have the joyo and i use it every rehearsal. I couldn't tell which one it was. Damn close. Just found the TS a little more bright.
In the end, it's just different flavors of the same thing, none is really better. Joyo stuff is really impressive.
By the way, subscribed !
Thanks man! much appreciated, keep rocking dem Joyos :) Cheers!
What amp did you use for this demo?
+ADDICTED TO GEAR fender hot rod deluxe!
At just one minute and fourteen seconds in, they both sound similar enough that it doesn't matter in a mix.
Don't forget you're hearing playback via MP3 not wav so we're losing a lot of the quality sound with the compression. The differences between the quality of the effects that the Ibanez provides may be lost in translation.
Joyo was more responsive. Nice playing
👍👍 actually the joyo sounds surprisingly
good. I don't think you can go wrong for the price
Sample A sounds better for me. It has more punch to it. Subscribing
Just bought the Joyo today and was thinking the TS9 was A (which I much preferred) and felt I made the wrong purchase. But what a pleasant surprise!
That was funny. You got that Metal Zone to be so tame. Nice. I own 10 Joyo pedals and find them to be... well i own 10 so...
blind test : I thought a was a little better . not much in it , could probably tweak them to be virtually identical . I bought a joyo VO a few weeks ago . nothing bad to say , does its job very well. Build quality is not super but for 30$ I wouldn't worry about it.
The Tube Screamer sounded muddier. I guess the Joyo will be one of my next overdrive pedals.
wow! i prefered the joyo! didn´t expect this result...but i like it!
jOYO vintage overdrive was really impressive sounding
Wow I'm surprised. Cause I preferred sample A which happens to be the joyo. Nice vid bud. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Great video!! I like the joyo better. I have one and guessed which one it was from the very first sample you played. Great, cheap overdrive!!
🤘🎸🤘
This video made me buy the vintage overdive. Only thing is its labeled Harley Benton. Same effect tho
Isn't the Joyo supposed to model the 808 which is slightly different sounding?
Might be, but they are basically the same thing for the same purpose. Virtually indistinguishable
@@NicoBellisarioMusic they're certainly close.
@@NicoBellisarioMusic I'd say the same thing about the Joyo as well.
The joyo as always I think these joy's are just way cleaner sounding circuit they all certainly use micro sized components too
Well, I'll be damned. I've been playing with a Tube Screamer for 35 years. I was convinced that I knew which one was the TS. To my surprise, I was wrong. I need to improve my sound. Off to go purchase the Joyo. Sounds much better.
I had guessed that A tones were from the Joyo, maybe because they sounded a bit heftier, but I've just been lucky. Very very similar sounding. Great job on your part.
+Paolo Memo thanks Paolo! "Heftier" is a very fitting word choice indeed!
Nico Bellisario - Guitar, Music & Stuff This adjective occurred to me listening to your test. It seems that there's one more Joyo clone of the TS(!) named Green Legend, defined as "creamier" by someone who tried it. The firm says it has the same chip that's in the Vintage. The two could be more suitable for different sound nuances, genres or guitar types... what about it Nico?
+Paolo Memo I'm curious! Never heard about it...If I get the chance I'll try it!
Is the joyo also great for boosting an overdrive for solos? Does it also gives that mid hump like the ts?
Yep!
Nico Bellisario - Guitar, Music & Stuff thanks man, and keep up the great work!
Joyo or Nux?
Nux is pretty good!
I actually like A for most of the samples, and B for a few. Surprised me.
I'm a bit confused, wasn't this meant to be a Tube Screamer Vs Joyo Vintage comparison? Why was it the Boss Metal-Zone instead? WHHYYYYYY?!
+John Kean it's just a joke 😀
Oh peak, never mind then.
I liked the joyo. It sounded a bit fuller in the mids.
Gotta say I preferred B, but it was definitely close and I wasn’t at all confident that it was the TS.
Damn good blues playin’!
Definition and clarity was much better with the Joyo, but that wasn’t fair, man. Sample B was mushier.
Nice playing though.
Thanks Joe :)
So which one was the TS9 Tube Screamer again?
Sample B was the tube screamer!
Ah - so still confused about what the Boss Metal Zone had to do with it?
+SuperJeremiah333 it was just a joke! If you rewatch you can see that soon after I say that sample B is that tube screamer :)
A joke? Well I didn't get it, probably because it didn't start with "knock, knock."In that case I'll ask you "why did the dinosaur cross the road? Because they didn't have chickens in those days." And now I'll get hate mail from creationists...
Been a musician for almost 30 years, and they sure as hell sound the same to me...
Definitely Joyo overdrive the best. I love it.
To me the Tube Screamer was more transparent, which is exactly what I'm looking for
Cool video. I liked the A sound more. But indeed little difference from seemingly different pedals.
i've got both, the volumen of the Joyo is much more high than the ts9 volumen, apart from that they are very similar, good video Nico
+Miguel Ángel Pérez De Rada thanks Miguel!
Some bits I could barely tell the difference. but when I could I chose A every time. Funny thing is I already have the Joyo and was thinking about getting the Tube screamer to replace it.... Guess not.
The Joyo won, hands down. To me, anyway. It just sounded more "alive"
In all honesty I preferred the joyo sounded more organic
Hey Nico...my name's Mike...I live in Portugal...I have a big fucking collection of pedals and I've got the Joyo/Harley Benton Vintage OD and the Maxon OD808...but the Maxon is an 808 sound and the joyo that you are demoing is a TS9 sound.
Tengo el Joyo y es un pedal increíble por el precio la única diferencia con el Ibanez es que el Joyo con el drive a más del 75 % hace un poco mas de hum .
Pero en sonido es prácticamente idéntico al Ibanez.
Buena demo,me gusta su manera de tocar la guitarra tiene usted buen toque. 👍
+AntonStratocaster gracias Anton! I try to do my best!
Still Love My Joyo. Awesome Overdrive Pedal
On some samples...indistinguishable!
But Joyo takes it!
Joyo, especialy when you compare prices🤩 🎸
I *knew* from the get-go that "B" was the TS9 because the mid-range bump was more pronounced and more focused. Which is *exactly* what I want in a Tube Screamer-type overdrive. If you liked "A" (the Joyo) better then I got news for 'ya - you don't prefer "Tube Screamer-type" overdrives. - cuz the Joyo *ain't* one.
Yes, the Joyo has LESS of that mid-hump but it's not that dissimilar. It's well placed within the TS family. Louder? Yes. Brighter? Yes. Less middy? Yes. A TS type pedal? Yep.
Thought a sounded better was hoping it's was the cheap one I had the very first screamer died a couple of years ago will replace with a moyo also had heard that the Behringer was pretty good
