Joyo effects switcher / router - cheap as he11?!?!?

Post by Tortuga »

Pretty hard to believe the prices on the Joyo effects switchers / routers. Amazon selling new 8 loop unit for $160, versus several hundred the others seem to be at, then I find this on Craigslist:

8 loops / 4 presets / routes before amp & through effects loop / amp switching / tuner out / mute / kitchen sink, etc...

Here's the link, with more pics:

Anyone know if these are any good? Reliable? Quiet / noisy? Really hard to believe for the price...

Damn it! I was looking into getting one of those units, but when I bought the Moen GEC9 they weren't available. It is a hell of a lot cheaper than the Moen too [$299]...

I say buy it! The switches on the PXL-8 sounded very solid and made a very loud click when engaged [at least what I heard on YouTube]

This video is describing the PXL-8, which I would assume is very similar in quality as the PXL-Pro...

I was talking with Michael over at Earth City Sound Co. [where I ordered my Moen GEC9 from] and he said that these units [the PXL-8, as he hasn't seen the PXL-Pro yet] are great, durable units!

For $160, that is a steal, and I would have probably got the PXL-Pro had it been available when I ordered my switcher. That being said, I really like my GEC9!

Cannot believe how good the Joyo Ultimate Drive is that I just got today. If this switcher is anywhere near as good (and based on what I'm seeing above, it sounds promising) as my new pedal, I'm probably headed that way in the next few months. Hard to believe gear this killer is that inexpensive.
