was a devil at first, and that really wasn't what bothered me. to me, it was just the funky looking paint job.
I just got my replacement and I ave the same odd signal boost issue...??? It's going into a parallel loop anyway so I just went ahead and modified the look and will throw it on my board...

Never tried either, and I'm slated to get the Joyo on Friday.
Didn't like the "devil" graphics but bought a Fuzzrocious Demon...LOL! I know I shouldn't laugh, but the irony had to be pointed out
Me, I'm keeping the graphics as they are. It's only a drawing...not like I'm endorsing Satanism or anything![]()
Thx bro...this is my most recent pic. Got rid of the Morley for a Loopmaster Micro AB, though. It'll change here and there based on what I need and what I feel like lugging, but this is the most recent version of it:Jimmym i would love to see a pic of your board man, i don't believe i've ever saw it and you're one of the most helpfull guys here

I didn't care for the graphics on the joyo (IMO black and red is so passe') so I used some stripper and stripped it, then relableled it and installed black knobs. it didn't require any sanding since it was pretty smooth under the paint.
I didn't even realize its graphic was a devil at first, and that really wasn't what bothered me. to me, it was just the funky looking paint job.

Good point, but I understand people wanting to avoid any such images.I mean, they're a Chinese company, right? Isn't that graphic based off of Chinese mythology? I'm guessing it has nothing to do with the Judeo-Christian concept of "devils" or demons.
The silver one is a Greedtone OD clone that JohnK made and then added a switch to give me two different high rolloffs. Love it! And the one next to it is a Team Awesome Fuzz Machine.^ sweet looking board man!!! What are the 2 in the bottom left corner? And that reddi!!!! Drool......
Good question, Sean. The noticeable compression when I use my tube amps was the big reason, plus I only have a VT Deluxe now and I wanted a smaller board. I still like it very much otherwise, but I decided that with a REDDI and Ampeg tube amps, I just didn't need it like I used to.Funny Jimmy, in Sept. 2008 you posted this:
"I haven't tried the Linden, but it's just the Baxandall tone controls like what's on a B-15. There's no reason it would sound tubey on its own. It will certainly manipulate an amp's EQ like a B-15, but that's it. But the VT does awesome recreations of B-15 tones. You can even make it imitate mic'ed tones pretty well. Pedal of the future."
I see your board, and you now have the Linden, but not the VT Pedal! How times change things, eh? What made you give up the VT Pedal for the Linden?
Thanks,
Sean
The pedal boosts my signal when it is bypassed... it's advertised as a true bypass on Amazon, but it obviously is not. It doesn't color the tone at all just boosts it by about 3db... haven't dug into it further to see why this is happening because I'm putting it in a parallel loop anyway... it still sounds good though.Signal boost issue?

that sucks.....does this occur with all the Joyo OD pedals?
