Official Joyo Club Part 2: Beyond Thunderclone

Yes, I found unity volume with my pedals out of the loop first. Then I put them in the loop and set their blend channel to unity. I hope that makes sense.
has anyone tried one of there chorus pedals? I have way more room on my pedalboard as I'm selling my old DI on ebay(to fund b7k), and my eh stereo electric mistress has way too much volume fluctuation.
. With the good reviews here and their prices, joyo sounds like a winner to me. Also looking at there delay(never had one before!), hell, might get the American and or UD(even though im really good on dirt for now) cuz they do sound great on the demos I've heard, and what a price!!

I have the Analog Chorus. I like it, however it is a bit noisy...
I keep the rate almost off and the depth all the way up.
It adds a pretty cool "wet-ness" to my tone.
nice ,I like a real wet sound!! I'm going for a duff mckagan type sound, do ya think this could do that?
Ummm, think more...Nirvana.
I would also suggest putting this in a clean blend/loop.
Like the setup @kleinenenten and I were discussing a few posts ago.
Hasn't arrived yet. Ebay sellers don't tend to use the fastest shipping to keep prices competitive.
Here's an update on my experiences with the Joyo tuner - I'm still a fan but I think it gets easily confused by the harmonics generate by the other strings - e.g. the A string starts to vibrate when I tune the high e-string. I find the tuner seems more consistent and accurate if I dampen the lower strings with my fingers while I'm tuning the higher strings. I mainly use the tuner with my normal guitars where the problem of energy transfer between strings is a bigger problem than on bass.
If you follow some of the math behind tuning temperaments (see here [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) you'll see that string tunings cannot mathematically be consistent across all octaves and harmonics and that real-world instrument tunings are a compromise. I think, although cannot prove, that it is the slight tuning errors in the induced harmonics that's causing the appearance of tuning inaccuracies in my Joyo tuner.
YMMV.

Thanks for the rundown, it's good info.
I've been considering the tuner for a while, now I'm going to be a little more hesitant but that's okay.
I wouldn't want to be that "almost-in-tune-a**hole" on stage.
Okay, here's some numbers.
It's been a while and I apologize, feel free to yell if you want a number and get tired of waiting.

I tell you guys, every time I put my UD on the board with all my other pedals, it doesnt sound as good as it does on its own. Its a shame too because the UD is actually one of the tastiest OD's Ive ever played through. And I like the way mine looks now 
Ill hang onto this pedal for a long time, its just a great OD. So sweet

I like the rat + ultimate drive so much, I think that will be my next boutique purchase, if/when I get money.

What didn't stack so well for you?
For me, I think it was simply passing through to much. It didn't stand up the way I would've liked it to in the mix. It used to stack well with my ODB3 at a low grind. Not sure about a rat though. Have you heard of the blower box yet? Check it out if not. It's a really sweet rat based dist. So sweet. I sold my rat king off after I got the blower box.
Well, depending on where you put it on your board, it would have to power thru about 15 other pedals.
Playing mostly stoner and doom metal, I like the oscillation feature and other mods Ryan offers, but blower box would be easier on the budget. I might need to tweak some knobs on the amp as the rat is too hissy with Pbass, and I want it to be fat on both...
I imagine a custom rat designed for bass, would be fat.

The BB, in my eyes and ears is just about that, a custom rat. Dude, let me tell ya, the blower box is nowhere near short on low end and retaining it. It will def give your woofers a run for their money if you bump it way high. Seriously, the BB has the best low end retention of almost any other dirt pedal that I've played. I haven't played them all of course. But yeah, holds the low end and will even add some to it if you want.
