Anyone here tried one of the new Joyo or Mooer pedals?
Both are Chinese made but with metal chassis and true bypass on nearly all the models. Most of both the companies models are clones of famous pedals. They are dirt cheap. Picked up the Joyo units for 30 each, the Mooer ones are a little more expensive but can be had new for 50-60.

These are normal sized, come with metal chassis and true bypass. I picked up a few after seeing a few good videos and some talk on other forums. I picked up the Vintage Overdrive( ts clone), Ultimate drive ( fulltone OCD clone) and Us Dream ( Suhr Riot clone) and they are all really good sounding units that I have already brought out on tour with no problems. I'd have no problems using the Vintage overdrive TS clone in place of my Ts9dx. They sound closer than my ts7 and ts9 do!
Also of interest here is they do clones of the Tech 21 character series of preamps, for a fraction of the price. Might pick one up for cleans down the line.
Here's the vid that sold me on them
Mooer

Mooer make a series of really small pedals- like 1/3 the size of a regular pedal, with small switches and pots and offset in/out jacks. They also have alot of clones but a few of their units seem fairly unique too, or at least I can't tell what they are cloning.
I came across these when I was on tour, alot of the more interesting music shops had just got them in so I tried a bunch of them over a few days in different places. I was shocked how good they sounded. I tried the chorus, tremolo and a hendrix inspired phaser and ended up buying the Ensemble chorus. Watched a bunch of their videos and think I'll be picking up another couple of them over the next while. The shimverb and ninety orange seem useful for verb and phaser units.
My only gripe with these pedals is that they tend to move a bit easier around my pedal board than regular sized pedals as they're not as heavy or making as much contact with the floor of my pedal board. Wouldn't be an issue of you affix yours to the board, I'm in the process of trying out a bunch of different pedals and board layouts so I've not velcro'd mine down in place yet.
Both the companies make a wide variety of OD, boost and distortion pedals which I'd reckon would be of interest to alot of us here. Any of you guys tried/bought any of them?
