The Joyo Taichi is a surprisingly good little overdrive, especially for the price. It nails a warm, creamy tube-like tone, and the Voice knob gives you just enough variation to tweak things to your liking. It's perfect for players wanting a budget-friendly, transparent overdrive to push their amp or add a little extra grit.
