Welcome back, everyone!  I'm back again to present to you the final video demo/review on a brand new effects pedal I recently purchased: The Joyo Ultimate Drive.

This might well be the video you've all been waiting for.  Why?  Because I compare the Joyo Ultimate Drive to two other pedals that are very popular in guitar effects today: the Ibanez Tube Screamer and MXR Prime Distortion.  As you'll see in the video, the Joyo Ultimate drive is much smoother and less grainy than the MXR Prime Distortion and has quite a bit more punch than the Ibanez Tube Screamer.

After recording all 3 of these videos of the Joyo Ultimate Drive pedal, I have to say I love the tone and smoothness of the pedal and the power/output the pedal has, but I still feel like I need a higher-gain distortion pedal.  I'll be keeping this little pedal in my arsenal for sure, but I see the Joyo Crunch Distortion or the Joyo High Gain Distortion eventually becoming part of my effects loop for more of a Shred tone.

Joyo is a Chinese-based company who offers tons of great products, most notably their effects pedals.  In this video you'll see why I chose this pedal over another popular pedal that the Ultimate Drive is sort of a clone of.  I'll also show you how you can basically create your own pedal configuration with just Joyo pedals for around $150-$200! 

Make sure you check out these pedals on YouTube because their are plenty of comparison and review videos to watch.  Then try them out if there's a music store near you that stocks them.  If not, for the awesome price you pay for these pedals, it's totally worth buying one just to try it out.  I'm 95% positive you'll keep it and add it to your collection!
