Joyo SWEET BABY Overdrive - Pedal Demo 

Thanks for a great review. This pedal, and the PRS, sings in your hands! Thank you!

I really enjoy your reviews, including your playing. Thank you.

Thank you for the review - Ordered one for my 11 year old son who is loving the blues right now and he loves this pedal. We watch your review together and he purchased it w/ his own $. Much appreciated.

Thank you for this. Your demos are among the very best on RU-vid. They are very informative and always give a true sense of what a given guitar pedal can actually produce tone-wise. A refreshing change from the countless "demos" produced by people who seem to be far more interested in showing off their "noodling" skills than the capabilities of the gear they are claiming to demonstrate. Great stuff !! Thanks again.

Great video, great sounding pedal, very organic sounding. Thank you!

Really cool review and loved your work with Adrian. Really cool music. Liked it enough to look for it on iTunes or some place.

Thanks for another interesting demo. Excellent!

Beautiful sounding pedal and great playing man.

I love my Sweet Baby, best pedal I have. I use it for all my transparent OD work. $35 bucks but I use it more than my JHS Sweet Tea

It's my favorite pedal too. From subtle to all out grit, its a very tight yet warm pedal.

Because of your reviews and videos I bought California Sound, AC Tone, Ultimate Drive, Deluxe Crunch and Classic Flanger ... Next will be Sweet Baby and US Dream. Thank you for the pedal reviews.

Thank you for another great review

Oh my God, I love you like an old friend. Thank you Henning - as a much older man & father, I can ASSURE you, your dad is so proud of you.

man, great idea that you put a time in the screen to skipp at in the beginning. more youtubers should do that! and thx for the video

I purchased this OD pedal based on your excellent & professional review. Please do more gear! Sehr gut!

Amazing playing

this seems to be so perfect for buckethead songs. thanks for the review, love your playing too

Excellent and professional review. I subscribed.

Great reviews man, you really deserve more views

Never thought Joyo was cool until I watched your demos. It started with the D-Seed pedal.

Thank you so much for this!!!! I now own one !!!

Awesome pedal. Been on my pedalboard for a few weeks now. It's a keeper. Especially for $35.

Good demo thanks a lot!!

Wonderfull songs and pedal

I've been looking at this pedal for quite sometime. Thinking about taking the plunge. I've yet, to see a YT video that does this Joyo Sweet Baby any injustice. Your tone is excellent. As is your playing. Thanks for sharing this lovely video.

awesome solo!

Hi from Canada! Your videos are very informative and you take the time to demonstrate features in detail. This helps players make a decision. Also, your sense of humour is hilarious. Could you review the Empress Germ drive sometime?

I build and play 3-string Cigar Box Guitars, both fretted and unfretted. I use mostly mini-humbuckers with a few single coils now and then. It's all just for giggles. It keeps me out of trouble and that keeps the wife happy. I recently added the Sweet Honey to my limited selection of pedals. Wow, wow and wow is my summation. This pedal is a great example of where less is definitely more. The low gain keeps everything warm and organic sounding with no loss of clarity. This is just what I want, when playing roots Blues with slide. The tones this pedal produces are very subtle. I like this a lot. I was nicely surprised, when I discovered the Sweet Honey gives my old Roland Cube-15 a very cool retro tube sound. I found the focus knob controls the dynamics of the pedal big time. All the way to the left and it's very soft. I really have to dig in to get some crunch. All the way to the right, I only have to look at the strings for things to get dirty. I guess the pickups and amp are controlling factors. I only use the medium hot Warman Poleless Firebucker mini-humbuckers and Warman HOT Tele Neck pickups for my single coils. Even they're not very hot at 3.5 Henries. I need to try the Warman Soapy Joe’s P90s. I love the transparency of this pedal. There's absolutely no need for a tone control. It would only get in the way. Just plug the pedal in and you're good to go - perfect! I may add the Joyo Vintage Overdrive, just to have that tube screamer tone for when it's needed. It's not as if I need a mortgage to buy these pedals. For everyday use, the Sweet Baby is my overdrive pedal of choice. It's simply gorgeous sounding.

This pedal seems really great, one of the better one in the price range. Gonna see how I feel about my Ultimate Drive once it arrives, I might need something like this too. Nevertheless, great video! All the demos are professional and well produced. I'm only missing on single thing, and that is how the overdrive/distortion pedals respectively sound in front of a driven amp as boosters. Other than that, no complaints! Keep at it, cheers from Sweden

good demo. Thanks

I bought this pedal to use with both my p-90, and Fender single coil guitars. I get a good country overdrive sound from it. I really like this pedal, but it adds a little too much treble. With darker sounding humbuckers it may be ok, but with my guitars, its brighter than I like. I would like to see JOYO manufacture a newer version of this pedal but with the addition of a presence knob, so we could cut some of the upper treble down.

That's a great looking guitar, I've always wanted a PRS. This pedal sounds very creamy, I about to get 2 of the JOYOs in the mail (Compressor and Vintage distortion) if I love those Im definitely picking this one up.

Joyo SWEET BABY Overdrive is amazing.. it is already on my wishlist.. guess i m gonna buy it..

ALL the crunch I need.

this pedal really good with humbucker! i didnt like with singles. im using this pedal with marshall mg100 with gibson sg standard with classic 57 pickups. very dynamic and sweet tone. another pedal on my board is bb preamp. i think im going to sell the bb preamp. cuz its sucks with humbuckers

one of the best guitar player on youtube rewiews. maybe the best. but i don t like to say the best.. it is difficult to say..but sure one of the best. maybe i should come to Mannheim to take gitar lessons..the problem is.. usually guitar teachers gave up in me after only 2 or 3 lessons

Great job, Henning, as always. So many great pedals... Can you tell me, if you were limited to Caline, Joyo and NUX overdrives, which 2 or 3 of each brand would you choose? Thanks.

Nice tone on that pedal 😃

danke.... kokmt ganz auf den stil und den song an.... momentan hab ich veil spass mit dem neuen PRS SE20 Amp...

thank you so much, i found a lot of demo about this pedal, but no one satisfied me like this.. i think i'll buy it! but what song have you played ?

That guitar is a one bad ass looker, that said I did buy the Sweet Baby OD after seeing this vid. Unfortunately the unit, which I bought it new came DOA. will not turn on. It was sent back, I probably will try to get another one, since my other choice would be Barber LTD which is also low gain OD box, or I can get the "original" one but both of these are way more mulas.

Very well review . thumb up

By the way yes beautiful guitar and amp

Thanks for the reviews. I had my gear stolen and I'm leaning towards replacing it with all Joyo pedals.

How do you compare the sweet baby to the joyo vintage overdrive? wich one sounds better to your ears?. Other thing, your demos are awesome but i'll be nice if you do them also whit sigle coil pickup guitars, other then that, the demos are great and very informative.

You are right. Well, when you were describing the production of the demo it was professional. Just because a pedal doesn't cost a car payment doesn't mean it won't sound good. I have played some hi end pedals that were just Ok. LOL. Great demo and Rock on!

Could you make a video on how the Sweet Baby stacks with other Joyo drives such as the Vintage Overdrive, Deluxe Crunch and Ultimate Drive. I love the tone of all of them and will definitely be getting the Sweet Baby, but I do not know which one would make it sound the best when stacked. I know that it would sound good with a pedal such as the JHS Superbolt or Emerson Custom Paramount but I'm looking for a pedal in the Joyo range or any other budget range for that matter that would sound great when stacked with the Sweet Baby. Hope you can help! Keep up the great work, this video was incredibly informative.

Great reviews of the joyo/Harley pedals!!!! I was close to getting a Mojo hand fx Rook overdrive. Excellent pedal by far and still would like to own one but the price is not to bad but the price on these can't b beat!! Which 2 of all these do u highly recommend??

Omg first time my attention is dragged to this. This is a ts9 killer

Great review setup. I appreciate you not using the camera mic for the guitar sounds.

Wish you would have played through a Tele too, but at least we could hear the pedal through a single coil tone.

feines pedal, ist mir schon öfter aufgefallen, aber dein raum ist noch besser;-) welches von den top-teilen ist denn dein favorit?

To my ears, the Sweet Baby and Deluxe Crunch are the two best pedals...it would seem one could cover a great deal of sonic territory between them. Would I be far off in concluding that the Sweet Baby could be described as somewhat similar to a Tube Screamer in granularity (very smooth/fine...where almost any chord would sound very good with it), but more pick-sensitive and with a flat frequency response instead of that huge midrange hump/weak bass of the TS? So far, I only have the Ultimate Drive, and I do love it for fat, creamy, rich leads on my Tele bridge pickup & P90 semi-hollow (somewhere between OD & distortion and not shrill at all), but from what I'm gathering, it sounds as if the Deluxe Crunch covers much broader OD/Distortion territory, with cleaner top-end and without the exaggerated bass thump of the Ultimate Drive (which to be fair, can be kind of awesome at times). Is this somewhat accurate? Thanks again for the great videos!

"Focus" seems to adjust *presence*.. like on a Marshall head.

What are "standing chords"?

Greetings from New Jersey. I like your videos. I want to try Joyo pedals now because of you. I want to get close to SRV's soound. Which Joyo pedal would you recommend? I'm thinking the Vintage Overdrive, Sweet Baby, or the Hot Plexi, or whatever you say. I'm Playing a Strat through a Blackstar HT-1R plugging into a Marshall MG Series MG412CF 4x12.

How do you think it stacks against the pedal it's a clone of- the Mad Professor Sweet Honey? Is the original enough better to warrant the huge price difference? The original runs about 170$ I think- which is like 5-6 times more. Imo it's better, but not "better" enough to warrant costing what it does.

What brand strings? Gauge?

Would you say the Sweet Baby would fall into BD-2 Blues Driver territory? (With the BD-2 at lower gain settings). I love the jangly open nature of the BD-2. It would be nice to have something similar but voiced a little different. Thanks!

Man you have a beautiful place dude. You must be rolling in the money....lol.

vielen dank... Henning Pauly isses eigentlich... Ja, so ein Ding muss ,an

Nochmal Daumen hoch für Dich Hans-Peter (falls das dein Name ist ;) ) Vor allem für Deinen Gitarrenpart als Du das Pedal mit Chords vorgestellt hast. Klingt schön, schön gespielt. Gruß ps: Du wohnst nicht zufällig in der Nähe Ruhrgebiet? :)

How is this pedal compared to boss blues driver? Can I get similar sounds with this one or do you think there's another joyo pedal that sounds similar to the blues driver? I'm thinking on getting clear sparkly distortion but $100 for the BD-2 is way to high for me right now...

Great sounding overdrive, but I couldn´t hear any changes with the focus knob being used, so I guess it doesn´t have any tone control to mention.....too bad.

I liked it that much here on youtube that I ordered it yesterday :D (from pedalcorner.com)

Playing a $5000 guitar through a $30 pedal. I love it! :)

Do you think the sweet baby would play well with a big muff pi?

You state it's subtle. Man, it has lots of gain. For my taste anyway.

...Sorry.... muss man doch mit chords zeigen... dafür isses ja da... wohne bei Gießen in Hessen...

Is DR.J a real doctor?

Great Reviews / Salamandertales

All that hi tech gear to demo a $35.00 pedal. What ever works.

Killer Pedal ? This pedal is an embarrassment. Low Frequency Articulation ? Defined Midrange ? String definition ? Depth of Tone ? Complexity of tone ? etc.
