Many associate it with loudness wars and pop music, but it is actually a very useful effect that makes your guitar tone more on-point and more pleasant to every ear. SCAMMER WARNING: Due to a spate of recent scam attempts (some successful) recently, if you're doing a deal in the classifieds, ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALLY. haha I mean I think I have a reasonable handle on what compression is, how it works and what it's for, and the joyo one is definitely in the subtle camp (or at least a lot more subtle than, say, a boss cs3). It is very low everything, low ratio(I'm not sure it is constant), low speed, low output (unless you max sustain knob).

After messing around with it for a few hours I can say i'm pretty happy with it, on a scale probably a 7/10. The green scorpion beast comes in a sturdy metal casing that can take more than a few punches and heavy stomps, yet retains a light weight and compact size. I picked the big silver one up a while back in the classifieds and it really does have loads of squish. This is a true bypass pedal, meaning that the stompbox does not produce a single sound or a hint of noise when connected and not turned on. Whether you just need it to keep the volumes even on clean passages and to stop any notes overpowering others or whether you want to use it after your overdrive pedals to give you near endless sustain, it's up to you.I'm not saying I'll never go for another compressor in the future but as someone who has never owned one before (I have played many others though) it is a great first step.

What I really don't understand setting sustain 3 o'clock and level 9 o'clock give less compression than setting level on 12.

Designed to emulate the famed Ross analog comps from the 1980s, Joyo's rendition gives a subtle flavoring to your sound that even the most ardent of anti-pedal proponents can get behind. The pedal is pretty straightforward and has all the features you get on all the major name compressors and in some cases more. So essentially there's two sides to this fella – on one hand, it keeps your sonic peaks under control and secures a well-rounded sound even if you strum too hard at moments.

It easily does in its lower settings what the Joyo does flat out, but has the range to go a lot further.

As you can spot it is a Ross Compressor clone; as I marked in RED the changes they made to the schematic.There are two high profile reviewers on YT who review the Joyo deluxe crunch pedal and mistakenly think the PRE control is a preamp rather than prescence, which it is. The Joyo Dyna Compressor JF-10 is a re-creation of the early classic 80s Boss compressor, with very low noise.

A compressor allows you to play delicately picked passages with masses of effects and you'll hear every note perfectly without any of them disappearing into the ether or overpowering the others. In terms of construction, the JF-10 has a durable metal casing which can withstand the pressures of gigging. Well, it certainly has a lot of output, making it a useful clean boost, and the compression doesn't sound bad, if a little bright.

The build quality is good and it feels very solid with its metal casing, and who doesn't like a green guitar pedal with a scorpion on it? A lot of players don't think they'll need a compressor or when they first use one don't think it's actually doing anything (I was one of those). Apparently it works better with a stronger signal into the input and I might yet try this out of curiosity.
