My friend is selling a pedal on eBay. I don't think he liked it.

Brilliant.

He's not wrong

Superb, great sense of humour, honest to beyond a fault!  I was tempted to put in a bid...OK, only for 3 nano seconds...but it was almost worth it for the laugh factor alone! 

Just listened to a few you-tube demos - it really, really is a dreadful sounding pedal - I honestly wasn't expecting it to be that bad...but it sooo was!

To be honest, crapness of sound aside, it would be worth buying at current price to harvest the enclosure/stompswitch/pots for a DIY pedal build.....

My thoughts exactly. Die cast boxes + foot switches + knobs tend to be the most expensive parts when building your own pedals.

Is there a decent sounding fuzz-box?

Kalimna

Yes. One that has no power.

That is brilliant!

Best ad ever.

Nice!

If only all gear listings were as brutally honest.

Magnificent.

I had heard that there is an easy mod to turn into something very useful.

But I'm not going to message him because the listing is too funny.

I had one. 

I hated it. 

As I do everything. 



Except the stuff I don't hate, that stuff I love.

I think in its defence it sounds like the pedal it is cloning

Genius! Thanks for sharing this, cracked me up! What a legend! Great advert!

Imagine if, after your mate sold the pedal, he realised he kind of liked it and bought another one and then had a moment of clarity and realised how shit it is and listed it on eBay and then Jonnyscaramanga posted another thread about it.  Everything came full circle.

We should start crowdfunding this around FB. Fifty of us contribute 10p each, and then take turns with it, like the school hamster.

You wouldn't want the footswitches and pots from a Joyo pedal. They're shit. The only decent footswitches I have seen on Joyo kit have been on the PXL loopers.
