Mog Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Anyone noticed that Thomann are stocking Joyo units and flogging them under the Harley Benton tag.

Doddy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'm not surprised...the Joyo pedals are also being released over here under,I believe,the Rocktonics brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simwells Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Can also get them under the Valco name, no idea who's actually buying them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I remember noticing that before, and seemed to recall Thomann deleted their OCD clone when the original Freakish Blues fuss blew up. They seem to have it back now though. And the quality is obviously far superior to the Joyo pedals: check the spelling of "voice" on their character pedal clones: clearly the Germans can spell better than the Chinese!

mike257 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yeah, they've had them up there for ages - prices don't seem any different to the Joyo ones, although I've seen stores selling the Valco branded ones for almost double the usual.

brensabre79 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think most of the Harley Benton stuff is rebadged old stock / end of line from other manufacturers. For instance they had a small bass amp on there a while ago which looked suspiciously like the old Roland bass cube just after the new Roland Bass Cube was launched, exact same specs except the amp modeller was replaced with some FX.

crez5150 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) You can get most brands re-badged if you know which far eastern factory to look into and can justify the quantity...... Edited March 14, 2012 by crez5150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I have a proper Tubescreamer and the Joyo. At full output the Joyo is a tiny bit quieter. That's it. Same sound, same tone same wonderful hammering of an already driven guitar amp. And for £30. Can't go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
