    Hey, hoss, I'm only at the beginning, but I SERIOUSLY wanna thank you for actually using a CLEAN tone! I review and demo budget gear myself and a TON of these TH-camrs are way more worried about sounding "good" than giving folks an ACCURATE depiction of what the gear actually does, lol... Thank you!

    Joyo is definitely starting to break the boutique notion. Gear snobs just don't want to admit or r afraid of it. I'm pretty dam sure live people won't notice a diff or in a blind test. If there is a diff it's the slightest most minimal thing. Build quality is a whole other story but I can take it to my local tech and have a joyo modded for $20 bux. This has given me some perspective on gear given my board has expensive stuff on it lol

    • @KyleCarrington
      @KyleCarrington 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Exactly, for the $150 difference, you'd have to blow up a few JOYO's before you spent the same money.

      @monomono 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      the difference is pretty obvious. but to be real 30 bucks ?! WHAT THE FUCK i'd definitely get the joyo's and then If I really want the real stuff id go for an original. But for a working rig... the joyos are just more than enough.

    I just bought the US Dream pedal for $25 Canadian. The Suhr Riot is going for over $300. The Riot may be slightly better (subjective) tone wise but barely discernible to the average ear. In terms of build the US dream is all metal and solid. Really comes down to how important the name on it is to you.

  • @Tmidiman

    I just got the US Dream for $5 at a guitar shop. Even came with the adapter. Was missing 2 housing screws and one of the 9V battery wires looked accidentally cut and spliced with clear tape lol. Fixed all that. The housing is metal with 4 rubber feet to stop from sliding around and very sturdy. I'd recommend it over the Riot considering the price and surprising durability.

    An extremely useful video, thank you for taking the time to post. You’re right, the Riot is probably a better pedal but the Joyo US Dream does compare very favourably soundwise, but particularly in regards to price. Also, I really dug your guitar playing... nice snarly licks with those “lost 80’s chunky 1/8th notes”. One other thing: I would normally steer clear of anyone wearing snakeskin boots, but in this setting those boots help to establish your bona fides as an honest rocker, out to help the world of up and coming guitar players and hopefully save our planet by killing all the snakes (good) and stomping on true bypass pedals (even better) to demonstrate how gain and distortion can make better human beings of us all. ;)

  • @megahurtz30
    @megahurtz30 9 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    For the price... it's a no-brainer, the Joyo wins, of course! But the Riot does sound a little punchier, maybe with more lows or low mids.. it just sounds a bit more agressive/alive

    • @mattgilbert7347
      @mattgilbert7347 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Agreed. A bit more amp like and fuzzier as well.
      But for what I need, I can't justify the $ difference.
      I reckon the Dream, Vintage Overdrive, and the Sweet Baby are pretty much all you'd need to cover most drive/distortion tones. Prolly Joyo's 3 best pedals.
      Ultimate Drive is ok if you like the OCD thing. I have a modded one and prefer it to my old OCD 1.4 (which I sold).
      Joyo is no joke.

  • @thefumigator
    @thefumigator 11 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    3:09 its noticeable in the heavy metal part, that the joyo lacks a bit of balls. The riot sounds like a harley davidson engine while the joyo messes it a little bit. Not a terrible thing, but there's a difference.

    big big difference? i didn't watch the video i just listened. i couldn't tell when he switched between the two. you can say the words but...the proof is in what my ears tell me. i'm sure with the voltage and the switchy thing there are tones that the suhr can do that the joyo can't.....but....aside from that there is almost no audible difference that i can hear.

  • @jkrunch2166
    @jkrunch2166 10 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    The Suhr marginally beats it; the attenuated mid-range of the Joyo makes it sound like a thin sheet is put over your amp, whereas the Riot is so open. But that marginal difference doesn't justify the Suhr being over $150 more than the Joyo. Honestly I think manufacturers are going to start having more fair prices if they want to start competing with the Chinese clones. Hand-wired pedals are one thing, but if pedals are being mass-produced, I shouldn't be paying more than $200 for them.

    • @wonjulee92

      check at 1:53 ,the difference is quite dramatic.the suhr pedal is definitely better,and IMO its worth double but not worth almost 10 times the amount of the joyo,so double i think would be perfectly fair.anyone agree with this assumption ?

    • @wonjulee92
      @wonjulee92 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      trillriff-axegrinder Yeah. I see what you are saying. They do sound quite different but, I think you can treally micro tweak the knobs to sound like suhr. plus, we also gotta know that these pedals are very responsive. His playing has a huge influence on the way things break up. Suhr might need to lower their price haha.

  • @TheBrunoleocoelho

    They are similar, but at 2:54 forward I felt Suhr Riot a little bit more "harmonic" than Joyo US Dream... More highs and mids on it... Both are worth to buy, depending the money you have...

  • @HairyScaryMark
    @HairyScaryMark 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The absence of the voice switch on the US Dream may account for some of the tonal differences. I own a Riot and if I am playing with my strat, I use the left voicing, whereas for rhythm guitar with my Ibanez 7 string, the middle voicing is best. There is more punch when in the middle voicing, which is great for metal rhythm guitar parts. I also tend to stack a lower gain drive in front for rhythm parts and have nothing but praise for the pedal. I must get myself a US Dream to compare and backup.

  • @macheted01
    @macheted01 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So very close. You can surely tell that the Riot has a tighter and all around better sound, but not by much. If I was a regular gigging player, I would definately go with the Riot. Would I get the US Dream as a back up, most certainly. If I played dive bars and was worried about having expensive gear with me, I would go with the US Dream. Currently, I am a casual player that has not played out in quite some time, so pulled the trigger on the Joyo. If things were to change, I would get the Riot.

  • @DJNosebleed

  • @aviator_bryan
    @aviator_bryan 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have the US Dream. For $33 you can't beat it. It's a lightweight alum casing, but seems sturdy enough, especially if you mount it to a board, and don't leave it rolling around in a gig bag. Sound wise, it rips! I think it's important to start with a decent clean sound, but the USD sounds full and has lots of harmonic content. Check out Mark Day's Riot demo. I can get my Joyo to sound exactly like that. Best $33 I've spent in a long while. Does mid gains well too, responsive and quiet.

  • @CTuxford
    @CTuxford 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Am I right in saying this pedal scoops the mids down for the modern distortion sound? My Boss DS-1 tends more to the mid-push 80's distortion with "more cream but less teeth" (just thought it up). If I scoop the mids more I'm guessing I'll get more of the Riot distortion. I discovered this fact this afternoon when I had the DS-1 cranking through my amp. When I began to change the EQ knobs and flick the EQ wave switch a radical change in tone occurred. Just a pain for gigs (single channel amp).

    Yep, the on-off switch, input jacks etc are dirt cheap and feel like they will break soon.No telling what other corners they cut to keep the cost down, but at that price it's understandable. For around the house or band practice and just fun, I wouldn't hesitate to use a Joyo. But for a show unless there was a few upgrades to some components, it's just a matter of time before something goes tits up.

    You're right. Joyo did their homework on this one but, I would think that the Suhr would last $100 longer and have $100 better customer service. So, with $100 more reliability it's not going to cost you $100 worth of down time at a gig. That makes it a bar of gold vs a bar of lead comparison. Also, the Suhr was a little crisper and had a hair more presence.

    • @sixstring4

    I did like the sound of the Suhr when you played those sustained chords.

    Other than US Dream having a little more mids, I don't hear any other difference (and I am not sure even about that). Character is more or less the same, the difference is so slight. And if your cover the pedals I couldn't tell by sound which is which. Makes me rethink my whole life. And also order the damn US Dream.

    The Ultimate Drive. It's based off of a Fulltone OCD and can achieve low gain transparent overdrive tones. I would be careful about using those pedals to boost with. They can hit the front end with a healthy amount of bass (sounds good on a bright Vox amp, might be muddy on others). The Vintage Overdrive or Sweet Baby might be better for boosting, as they are based off of a TS808 and a Mad Professor Sweet Honey, respectively.

    There’s a slight difference,probably due to ‘voicing’,but does the difference in price justifies it?
    The Joyo seem quiet usable.For what,30€+?

    Just got done reading an article of Boutique pedals. It said that MANY of these $200 and up "Boutique" pedals are actually made by JOYO and just re-painted and made overseas. $200 for the Suhr & 39-49 for the JOYO pedal. LOL Somebody's getting screwed. Pedals are like Batteries. There are Duracell, Energizer and Rayovac. All of these are made by the same company and sold to these others to put their name on the battery. This was on the news 5 years ago.

    For the sound..Riot n USD only have a tiny difference..for the price, they have so BIG difference..then I realize why Riot has a reason for its $200 quality..it has VOICE switch..! So they're both good for some people..depends to our "taste"..do you want a "riot" with only one sound or Riot with "more" sound (voice)..? # keep rockin guys ;)

    It certainly is, it has a much broader spectrum.

    Obviously riot sounds better, but the joyo doesnt fall apart for the price difference i would get the riot(only if the joyo cost around 60-70 with shipping) i got the us dream for like 40$ so its worth the 160$.

    I'll have to look into that. I have bad arthritis and even playing my elec. guitars is hard on my bad days. Don't know if I could solder the little stuff that's inside a pedal. I'd probably solder myself to the circuitboard. LOL
