Joyo JF-36
Sweet Baby
Joyo is a company well-known
among cheap pedal enthusiasts,
and it has developed a reputation
for boutique-level tones and
very respectable build quality,
in
addition
to
remarkable
affordability. One of the company’s
finest offerings of late is the JF36 Sweet Baby overdrive. This
creamsicle-colored three-knobber
appears to be a not terribly
subtle, but very well done, clone
of Mad Professor’s Sweet Honey
Overdrive. In a blind test, few
players would be able to tell the
difference between them. Like
the Sweet Honey, it is super
dynamic and very open sounding,
with a neutral voice that melds
beautifully with the voice of any
amp, or any other dirt box one
might stack it with. The Sweet
Baby is a low-to-medium gain
overdrive, and as such it is at its
best when pushing an amp that
is near or at the breakup point.
Prices can vary quite a bit from
online retailers, but they typically
hover around 36 dollars.
