Joyo Ultimate Drive boosting Recto

[mickrich]

I got a Joyo Ultimate Drive yesterday which is supposedly a clone of the Fulltone OCD overdrive.
Dirt cheap and sounds great in front of the Mesa Recto.
Really saturates and adds attack and crispness. The gain on the recto is set at about 1 o'clock in this clip. This is just double tracked (1left,1right)
Didn't get a chance to try it in front of any other amps (only had an hour to spare)
Here is Jeff's Rose of Sharyn pack re-amped.
Radial X-Amp>Joyo>Triple Recto>Recto cab>57>API.

Got the same pedal here. I really like it, it's more aggressive and throatier than a tubescreamer. Can't go wrong for 30€

Good clip, but it doesn't sound like a Recto!

I have this exact pedal but mine says Harley Benton. They bought Joyo. I use this to boost my Orange for leads when playing live but I've never recorded with it.

Well I feel like that's what happens usually when boosting amps... they lose their signature tone and become something else. But ofcourse many will disagree with me.
