I REALLY appreciate what your doing here with all the Chinese Cheapo pedals! In the last couple years a bunch of options have come out as far as parallel mixers but most of them are pretty expensive, like the RJM line mixer or the GFI Duophony for example. I'm grateful to have access to these cheaper versions so I can find out what works for me and then potentially upgrade to the higher quality originals. Without these budget pedals there would be so much that I would never get to try out. Just got my JOYO ORTHROS in the mail today and I was feeling overwhelmed by the possibilities. And here you are to save the day by simply explaining some of the use cases. THANK YOU SIR!

Great video. I know you mentioned the footprint size but to me this looks easier than the Boss Line Selector knobs being so close. I really enjoyed this video and tour explanations were clear and precise. Thanks!

Great sound Chuck, its a rainy day here in Ireland so I will be getting the valves warmed up soon. Peace and best wishes to you and yours mo chara.

Great video brother. I got one of these for Christmas and wanted to understand it better. You really helped. Thanks.

[Crazed_Fandango]

The sounds of parallel drives are reason enough to get one.

Great tones from that SG-type guitar.

[AndyDion]

Cool pedal, gives you a lot of options!
nice review Chuck!

[danieldesjardins]

The only thing missing is the phase switch! With 2 pedals or combination of pedals in parallel, you can end up with phase cancellation...supposing one of his 3 pedals is inverting the signal, that means that when he's using the fuzz + delay in parallel with the clone, one of the loop will be phase reversed and the sound will become thin. You have to take that into consideration and verify each of your pedal to know if it is reversing the phase or not when combining them!

Great content man.
I previously owned a Firefly DC Junior with a single dog ear P90. Fantastic guitar after I put Grovers on it.
I definitely want a parallel drive option. This JOYO looks like it's going to be on the menu soon.
Thanks!

I picked one of these up because I wanted an ABY pedal and it was on sale for $18. I hope I can find it useful lol

[johnlestercalumba]

hi i love your video about orthros so cool, can i ask if the option A/bypass means B is still active while A can be on/bypass?

[jomik]

Really enjoyed the video. I have some questions tho.
1. Does the blend function in compressor pedals work the same way? Like one signal is unaffected by the compression and the other parallel to it is the signal that is affected by the compression?
2. If so, then does that mean that I could just simply buy this line selector, and a cheap compressor w/o blend, and basically make it like a compressor with a blend function?

Good video man, nice job. Joyo pedals are good enough to not-pro use. If you are not playing with your eyes you can make some really good pedalboard with Joyo R series pedals plus they are cheap.

Hola a toda la comunidad grupera, yo soy versátil y tocó un poco de "casi" todo, me especializo en lo ma$ comercial, y mi comentario es que me retecaga que saquen videos tutoriales en los que siempre salen luciendose con guitarrazos con distorsionador, y del aparato en cuestión no enseñan ni madres, hay un mundo de música que no usa distor, yo tengo dos y si los uso pero en ciertos temas, pero estos batos solo se quieren lucir y no enseñan nada sobre el aparato en cuestión.
Saludos colegas !!!

Trying to find out if the Joyo pedal would allow me to have 2 amps and be able to effectively turn one on and off as and when, for dynamic purposes.
I have an ABY that allows me to have both running or one or the other and you have to switch it with a finger to choose, but what I want to be able to do is have one drop in and out at the press of a foot.

Would this do that?

[tomasotreasaigh]

The colours on that guitar are fantastic, how much did ya pay for that beauty?

[jstample]

Do you know what the difference between “A/B/Bypass” and “A/B/Out Select” is? I can’t wrap my head out what the difference might be.

[adamkiidumae]

Thanks for the review, hard to find any for this pedal for some reason. Do you feel the circuit colors the sound at all? I'm guessing it shouldn't, as it appears to be true bypass. How does it handle the splitting the the signal to two amps in an ABY combination - any serious reduction in signal output? Thanks

[Bang_pardos]

Hi.. im curious if this item able to use as a little mixer, i want to combine 2 pickups from my double bass into one output..


And about A&B level.. is it for send level or return level?

Thanks bro..

[IvanovIvanovIvanov]

Hi there I would like to connect my electric guitar to my two amps simultaneously

Does this pedal allow to enable both A and B channels at the same time ?

If so, Do I simply connect my guitar to the input, then run a cable from "send A" to my first amp and another one from "send B" to my second amp ?

Also, Why is the output for ? is it two ways ? Does it also allow to connect two guitars to one amp and switch between those ?

Thanks a lot if you could bring light on this

[arcidiavolo]

hi. does it work with nothing in the input or output? i mean using only the loops? mine does not switch on without a jack in the input.
i wanted to insert my zoom g5n in the middle of my pedals for max the effect choice, but i do not understand how to hook up the cables. i wanted to insert it after my chorus before delay reverb and be able to blend with the full chain
