JOYO Pure Analog Overdrive & Distortion Multi Effect Pedal R Series 8 Classic OD/DS Sounds for Electric Guitar (Baatsin R-11)

I bought this pedal to act as an always on style drive pedal to push the front of my amp and just give me a little bit of grit before I kick on my higher gain drive. It's replacing a tube screamer mini that just wasn't playing well with my Friedman BE-OD deluxe. The TS mini was just overpowering my signal with it's mid forward nature and making everything sound a bit honky and lacking in other pertinent frequencies. This pedal is absolutely perfect though, it props up what's already there and introduces some light overdrive to taste which is exactly what I was after. There's a tonne of bull human hybrid copy cat pedals on the market, some of them very expensive but this does a stellar job of giving you that sound at a fraction of the cost and feels very well put together to boot. Sometimes when pedals say they're transparent they're not being completely honest about that and will add or subtract things from your signal but this feels as close to transparent as you can get which is mighty impressive for the price. The controls feel nice and smooth and it feels like you're getting a premium product and it has the sounds to back up the package as well. I'd say the only downside potentially is the aesthetics of this particular line as the future chique look might not do it for you if you're looking for something a bit more traditional in appearance. Still, you'd be doing yourself a disservice to not check this line of pedals out and they do look nice in the flesh. I would highly recommend this pedal to anyone regardless of where they are in their musical journey.

First and importantly this is exactly what it says on the tin, its a 'Cabinet Modeling and Power Amp Simulator Effect Pedal', it has no other effects, and that is absolutely fine! Feeding this into a full range PA speaker system and you can hear the subtle differences between the settings. Fun and interesting to hear the different sound profiles with different amps, mics and cabinets. It can be a little noisy if you have the gain turned up, so make sure you are feeding a reasonable signal in. The item seems to be well made, has sturdy footswitches etc. The fancy green backlighting is blinding in intensity but fortunately you can turn off with a switch on the bottom, so fair enough. As mentioned this is just a amp, cabinet, mic simulator, but it might have been nice to have say some reverb, and a couple of other effects. But what it does ,it does well so guess for most users you will have other effect pedals in the chain, so its no big deal anyway. Would I buy again - Yes.

This is a great Reverb pedal! I absolutely love it! There's some fantastic not so common algorithms to use that add some glorious Reverbs to your tone. I absolutely adore ❤️ the lighting at the top and bottom of the pedal which is made all the more awesome in how you can sync it to the effect being used while the pedal is on or constantly on. There isn't one bad choice of effect either. All the selections are usable and sound fantastic. The spring Reverb is so authentic, you'd think it was an actual Reverb tank! The build quality is fantastic and the price is absolutely unbeatable for what you get! The only problem is it doesn't have Stereo outputs / inputs. It's not a massive problem but would have been a good addition.

I had doubts on this pedal as it was a lot cheaper than most comparative rivals and other well known brands (and looking very much like an MXR clone), however my doubts were taken away as soon as I plugged it in. The pedal is well made with a steel chassis, so should stand up to the rigours of gig use well. The pedal in either 9v daisy chain or 18v isolated DC pedal chain is silent with no hiss or buzz whatsoever. The EQ frequencies available are allowing me to trim my bass tone with a finer degree than by amp head or onboard guitar knobs, giving very pleasing tones in headphones and in a 200w combo amp (not tried with my gig stack yet though). The added volume control is a bonus as it's possible to compensate for any losses and gains during EQ settings. I'm looking forward to utilising this when I'm recording as it should pay dividends when I'm looking to dial in a precise tone. Overall, this pedal represents very good value for money and I'm already buying a second one for my other pedal board...

Great, as most of the pedals in this series seem to be. Solid build, versatile controls, not that I use the mod much. Works well with bass for the most part which isn't always the case. It's much cheaper than the pedal(s) that inspired it and I can't really complain at all.

Great sounding pedal. Nice transparent overdrives, blues driver kinda styles and more standard overdrives all in one. Robust design, easy to use. Lights up on side. Great pedal well worth the money.

OMG I love this pedal. I've tried making a couple of Zen drives, they sounded good but had some settings that were not great, heading into uncontrollable feedback. I decided to just go ahead and buy a clone (or alleged clone) and it's it's a really nice sound, whether it's a true Zen drive or not I don't especially care, it just sounds good.

good range of Octaver functions including dry signal. Great entry level stomp box and sturdily built

I own most of these pedals at this point and a few of the stovepaint painted pastel Joyo series that came before this one. If I had to pick a 'series' that one was their peak, the clean boost vintage od and sweet baby are all amazing. . Also the 'dr J'bseries Joyo pedals are actually amazing. All of the ones I've tried are. The newer ones are good but they got too into trendy circuits with these terrible series, when in reality they should've gone in the dr J series direction. Or a better idea, instead of the bantamps, they should've made those tones, tube based, in pedal form. Tbh id prefer an OP mesa or fender sounding pedal with a tube circuit over a majorly vs a drummer, underpowered amplifier. The bantamps sound amazing they're the best practise amp ever made imo and I own amps from every brand. The only issue is headroom and max volume and you can't have everything with a lunchbox head but if they just made a DI out pedal with a tube in it a the same sound and circuit ...would probably flip the industry on its head .there are Canadian companies doing this now at luxury price point $500+ and because blues dentists don't understand the power handling of a tube circuit pedal vs yet another basic sounding analog screamer clone they aren't buying them at high volume....pardon the pun.. Having said that, every r series pedal is worth the money, but having said that mosky coolmusic and Caline technically are more innovative in 2025 than Joyo. And more of a value proposition. Sonicake is also mindnlwingly good. Their newest series is best micro pedals under $100, ever. The triple fuzz, od, 11 mode modulation with a functional lowbit, slicer and multiple choruses? For under $80? That's basically all the good things about the Joyo vision modulation pedal in a mono instead of stereo, $50 micro pedal. Amazing because the pots are actually usable on all mods too!!! Here are some individual reviews The tauren is truly amazing if you have an amp you really like the sound of ....it just gives you 'more of that The baatsin is truly Indispensible. It should be every guitarists first pedal. Seriously ....this and a blues driver and maybe the chopper z and any cheap fuzz.... You can get literally any time combining them. Some people complain that it only does one thing at once..yes that's true but it does EIGHT different ANALOG things. The amount of experimenting you can do on the fly ...can lead to tone chasing in the right direction instead of a/b ing boutique expensive pedals that tonally....sound exactly the same The Avalon is my actual klon...seriously. I don't care if thats lame to you. I play with my fingers a lot and of you can leave the klon on ....I can leave my comp on in the exact setting that I think sounds best ...I do t actually understand why people are afraid to EMBRACE VOMPRESSION!!! You aren't that dynamic and you'll sound better and stretch you playing dynamic ceiling...further if you play in the compressed zone. If that makes sense. I have a lot of Joyo stuff...it's al good

In the mid-2010's, I purchased a bunch of cheap Joyo drive pedals - sort of a gateway drug into later buying more expensive and higher-quality gear. I sold most of them later on, but the Baatsin is a uniquely high-value opportunity to get 8 of those circuits in a single pedal for around $50. And it sounds really good...for the most part. To me, the Joyo "clones" were never really that close to the original source material, other than maybe the Tubescreamer. What I appreciated about the Joyo pedals is that a lot of them did EXTREME things that the name-brand version would do. So it's best to think of the Baatsin as a collection of 8 different soft- and hard-clipping drive circuits that are actually quite different from one another and cover a ton of sonic territory. For reference, I'll give a very brief impression of the different mods (from actual use, not comparison to what they claim to be "cloning"): T. OD - If it's a "Timmy", the EQ is kind of broken. It's a very warm, rounded, soft-clipping low/medium gain overdrive with good output, but it's tough to open up the high end. SWEETY - I believe this was the Joyo Sweet Baby. Much brighter, and not very compressed. More gain/saturation on tap than I remembered. B. BOOST - A lot of people assumed this was an Xotic BB Preamp clone, but it's actually a very thick clean boost. Excellent with single coils. T.808 - A Tubescreamer circuit, similar to the Vintage Overdrive. Smooth upper end with a mid-range focus, used best to boost your signal while adding a little bit of gain/sustain. OVERDRIVE - I believe this was supposed to be a BOSS OD-1 or SD-1. I'm not fan of this one, as it has low output and absolutely no low end, but I could see it being okay with a darker setup. CRUNCHY - Based off a MI Audio Crunch Box, but tons of output. It's like British/Marshall type of distortion with medium gain and it cuts through nicely. RIOTER - Based off the Suhr Riot (I had the U.S. Dream briefly, but hated the enclosure of that run of Joyo pedals). Compared to the CRUNCHY setting, it has more gain and low-end presence. O.C. DRIVE - Joyo basically comes out and says this is the Ultimate Drive, which was their Fulltone OCD clone that sort of put Joyo on the map a decade ago. It does sound bad, but it has so much low end you can't dial out that its tough to use effectively. But it makes cheap/weak amps sound big, which I think was a lot of the original appeal. In terms of the pedal itself, it looks huge in pictures, but it's actually only slightly bigger than a BOSS compact pedal oriented sideways. The knobs actually had firm resistance to them, though some of the text on the selector knob did not line up exactly with the settings. The foot switch is the hard click kind - it's just okay, but probably isn't made to last 20 years. In addition to the indicator light, there is a dim LED orange glow around the frame of the pedal. It's kind of cool, but also largely pointless. There's a switch on the back to link that to the bypass switch or have it on all the time, I think. Even though it's a cheap, there's a ton of value here, and it's worth a look - especially if it goes on sale. I might even throw the Baatsin on my board for a bit, just because it can cover so many different tasks, and I only have room for one drive pedal.

A mi por el precio me parece un delay bastante decente, es verdad que no he probado el otras marcas mega caras que todos sabemos. Debería y luego devolverlos si no me cuadraban, sería interesante. Pero quería dar ese color en algunos acompañamientos y tocando algún sólo. , de distinción en un grupo y se consigue muy bien, en mi caso al menos. No quise gastar más dinero en esto.

If you’re on the fence about a digital verb and only have a bill to spend I’d say do it. The big thing this has over other digital verbs is the mod and tone knobs as well as the trail toggle. A lot of the verbs benefit a lot from the mod rate in terms of accomplishing some really cool atmospheric(no pun intended) stuff. The trail is essential for when u want the dramatic cut off of turning a verb off before leading into something else and makes me wonder why more verbs don’t have this. My favorite verb is a cathedral and the church with long decay does a good job of getting that sound and it plays nice with my other effects. Don’t expect a studio quality plate but it’d sound fine live. The spring is solid but unexceptional. The eko-verb is a great delay and the mod knob adjusts the delay rate making it one of the best settings imo. I don’t like shimmer verbs much to start so I don’t know if it’s any good cause I never like the sound much regardless but I didn’t like it. The comet is fine? You have to crank it to really get what they mean but maybe that’s just my ear. The rewind is also fine but nothing to write home about I think if that’s what u want it for get a dd7, dd8, or a holy grail plus. The forest is one of my favorite ones and has a very cool open sound that you won’t get from most other verbs and one of the selling points to me. Pulse sounds like a shimmer with some detune behind it that’s a like a cross between a vibrato and chorus. The church setting is awesome. It’s one of the best hall verbs I’ve heard for the money if you like atmospheric playing because of all the control you have. Build quality’s solid. Would recommend if u want something that can do everything at least acceptedly well and some things exceedingly well and I’d give it a listen before to be sure you’re getting what you want out of that setting.
