Has any one had the opportunity to test out joyo pedals? I founds these on accident while searching craigslist for goodies. I've looked for reviews online but the best source of knowledge come from other forums where the consensus is split 50/50 half say they are just cheap clones put together in China not worth the money. Other claim that they are very well put together clones at a fraction of the cost of high dollar boutique pedals.
Any one here had a chance to test these or maybe even own one? They are online sale only. The prices are super cheap. But would like to test them out prior to purchase.

My guess is that the 50\50 split on opinions is more of a reflection on quality control versus the design. I've never used on, but would consider any purchase like dropping a quarter into a slot machine. It might be a winner, but the odds are with the house.
Spending a little time on eBay, coupled with a fair amount of patience, can offer you the opportunity to score a good used pedal for around the same price as a new import of inconsistent virtue.

Very true, very true. Personally I will stick to pedals that I can test with a similar set up as to what I have. This way less chance of disappointment when I get home. It never makes sense to me to try pedals out on store displays where the pedals are connected to an amp modeler or some kind if pa system intended to make the pedals shine. Then when you get it home on your own rig you will never get the right sound.
about the joyo pedals, I may find 30-40 dollars to test one out. but I don't see that happening any time soon.

For $30.00 - $40.00 you can do a Hell of a lot better then Joyo. For example, for between $20.00 and $40.00\e I have picked up a Boss DS-1, DOD FX70 Flanger, Digitech Hardwire TL-2, Visual Sound Son of Hyde, Ibanez CD10 Delay Champ, Boss BF-3 Flanger, Oneer, DGD-1 Delay, Morley Little Alligator volume pedal and a rack mount Korg DRV-1000 digital Reverb.
I was impressed with the Oneer Delay, and would probably check some more of their pedal out if I still had room on the pedal board. They're made in South America, but they are built like a tank and are clean and quiet with sturdy controls.
The call is yours, but my money goes with the tried and tested used pedal market.

Never heard of oneer I should look them up. My pedal board is a bit full also. I would love to replace my digitech mainsqueeze for a more simpler compression pedal.

You're not going to find one for $30.00, but the best compression pedal I've found is the BBE Opto Stomp. It's one of those pedals that isn't in your face when activated, but you miss it when it's not there. It's also one of the rare compression pedals that doesn't suck the low end out of a bass either.
