Anyone try one of those JOYO 6 band clones?

They have the micro circuitry, but man they sound identical to my vintage blue.

Dirt cheap as well.

I heard that too but aren't the housings plastic?? Kinda not good for shielding if thats the case.
I am gonna be on a EQ rampage probably now.
Joyo
New Fender micro one now
Whirlwind Perfect 10-supposed to be studio quality and quiet with constant Q
Old Boss ge10
Maybe even a griffin modded mxr10

This 6 is makin a world of difference and Ed definitly used it on vh1-no doubt in my mind.

You guys runnin it first in the chain or after flanger phaser?

The Joyo website says they are in aluminum casing. And I completely agree on VH1 depending on the pickup...which in turn changes how much of a boost one needs on the sliders.

The JOYO is a thick metal housing. I've been meaning to do an A/B test but can't find the time. :roll:
