Pros & Cons
Pros
The california is a godsend. This thing is amazing. That really steams me up. This pedal rocks! It's possible to do but takes some effort. It’s really good!
The voice knob almost adds more gain than the gain does. Of all the other overdrive and distortion pedals that i have, this pedal feels like it has more tweaking possibilities.
Sounds great, sounds better than many higher priced boutique pedals. I haven't been disappointed yet - either with the quality or sound. An excellent buy.
The nova system boosts well and responds well to different effects. It takes fuzz and distortion pedals in front of it pretty well.
Forget about the over hyped pedals that are overpriced. Rolling up to a show with all your gear in a gig bag is priceless.
Cons

Just like a mesa, when you turn the gain up, you've gotta scoop your mids.
Price
The price is insane for a really interesting and useful range of tones.
Tou can’t beat the value of this pedal.
Overall i would say that it is great for the price.
Rolling up to a show with all your gear in a gig bag is priceless.
Competitiveness
I especially like the california and american (“fender”) simulations.
You can't compare this with hi end or boutique pedal, it's a budget pedal and in that range this is a really good pedal, and if... Read More
It sounds way better than the "mesa sound' from a modelling amp; which would have digital eq.
I personally own the joyo american sound, and have owned the joyo tubescreamer knockoff.

The one problem with all these joyo amp pedals is how noisy they get when you crank the gain control past about 1 o clock
