As someone who uses mostly cheap pedal alternatives, I would highly recommend the JOYO R series (that reverb is one) and Caline DCP series (with a new logo) as they are worthy budget option. Maybe you could do a good budget pedalboard collab with Temu again.
Technical note: You’re not turning the DI (direct inject) off, you’re turning the driver/pre amp aspect of it, off. If you were to turn off/mute the DI, there would be no signal through.
I’m a drummer and have bought some of the SM57 mics and was surprised completely. Bought one to start, I figured I was throwing away $16 but they sound exactly the same, actually a little hotter. I’ve since bought more.
They're obviously not SM57s, but it's not like SM57s are crazy high fidelity anyways so probably fine if that's what you're going for and don't expect the same level of durability as a Shure.
Most of these pedals are sold on Amazon for the same price or cheaper. Stuff on Temu is cheap not because it's discounted, the discount is a lie. This stuff is cheap because that's what it costs, plain and simple.
not really. temu are engaging in extremely aggressive sales tactics of operating at a loss for the purpose of building a monopoly, the stuff is cheap because of risky business practices and modern day slave labour
I have never bought a joyo pedal that wasn't pretty outstanding for the price. You can totally gig with that Reverb just like you can gig with your squire
Try the harmonizor first in your chain. It might need direct input to track better. It's still just OK, in my opinion, but just a thought. And I do like Joyo's pedals. Pretty decent for price.
Not surprised the Joyo is solid. I run the green dyna comp on my board, slow attack and high sustain, always on. It's a key component to my tone, it's really transparent, and it never sounds squashed. Works well for six strings too. Only like $40.
The difference in sound quality between a BOSS and a Joyo probably isn't a *huge* amount. Where you're going to find a MAJOR difference is almost certainly going to be the durability. Good, 150 - 250 dollar pedals will (usually) last for years and years, and come with some type of manufacturer warranty, and these Temu and other overseas pedals will not take the wear and tear of being hauled around weekend after weekend if that's the kind of use you expect to get out of them.
@@val_val_ this applies to phone and laptops etc, not pedal, especially brands like boss. That’s why pedal manufacturers are pushing limits in experimental sounds, since that’s the only place to go. The boss dm101 for example, £400 pedal, but is 12 bucket chips and fully programmable with a stereo out and memory recall, very innovative
Exactly. There is a disconnect between what people pay and what they get & expect, and that places like Temu actually sell anything other than knock-offs and general junk. "bUt iT cOsTs WaY LeSs tHaN a BoSs PeDaL"... Many people think these cheapie pedals are "deals." They are not. They cost exactly what they should; they are cheaply made with the cheapest parts and the cheapest labour, most are knock-offs (no R&D, just copying). That's not to say they can't sound good - as others have mentioned, the Joyo Atmosphere reverb pedal is very nice, and a good price. That makes it a good value, but not a "deal". They are not a Strymon, or BOSS, or whatever. They are a Joyo, and they cost what a Joyo costs. Nothing more. Ten years from now, or less, they're landfill. I have BOSS pedals on my boards that are 30+ years old and are fully functional, after years of gigging and use. The parts quality & durability are worth the cost, generally speaking (of course, there are ridiculously priced examples and major brands, too, so it goes both ways). I have over a dozen of these cheap 30-60$ pedals and they are horrendously built (sauce = over 35 years experience in electronics manufacturing, repair and assembly) with the absolute worst parts. They may work ok now, but won't last 5 years or regular use. Having said that, a couple sound great but the rest sound "OK" and exactly what a 30$ pedal is expected to sound like. They're fun to explore, but don't think for a minute you're getting any kind of "deal." We are living in the age of good-enough and shortcuts.
I may sound like a nutcase, but I liked that overdrive….because it sounded and felt like a (then, cheap) 70s thing. (Like a Black Sabbath obsessed teen bassist in 1978 saves up his handful of bucks to grab) And I think that’s cool. Obviously that’s an excessively niche case. Haha! Also, at age 49, I’ve gotta say: what a GREAT time to be a very young aspiring musician! Hell, in 1989, my folks blessed me by spending the ‘cheap’ price of ‘only’ $400 for my Fender 1x15 cab and 200watt head! That’s nearly $950 today…. For just “an amp”….for a 15 year old teenager! And it was a bargain at the time, too! Crazy! Now you can spend half that for a rig in today’s dollars, let alone 1989 dollars! (As my high school ‘beginners rig’ , just bass and amp, would today total almost $1500! Now the same, with better quality would be around about $600-700)!
How do you think TEMU can operate with such cheap prices for just about anything you can imagine ? Has it ever occurred to you that its all made by modern slaves in chinese sweatshops ? Yeah.... what a time to be alive.
@@richymooreyou mean the same way the things you buy are made anyways? Only difference is they cut out the middlemen. You wanna complain about it? Go do something about it. Otherwise your stupid outlook just makes you sound like an asshat.
My cousin told me a Temu. I been using it for a year now. After looking through it, I realized I could built my whole pedalboard from there. But I did get a super nice Reverb and Compressor. Also a great super durable plastic pedalboard.
I think that Joyo Atmosphere pedal is like their version of the Strymon Big Sky Reverb? Really designed for big atmospheric reverbs. More applicable to guitar. Never tried it with bass.
It's the reverb on my board and works well for bass IMO. Half the sounds are a bit more tailored to guitar, but for the price I can't think of anything better. Almost worth it just for a couple of it's 9 modes and the good output buffer.
I bought the Atmosphere a couple of months ago strictly for the shimmer setting. It sounds great with stacked delays. I also own the Joyo D-Seed II, and the Joyo Voodoo Octave Fuzz. Those are also good pedals.
All that stuff is going to work. The chorus I think is suppose to be a Ce-2 clone, and the power-supply is pretty typical at the cheaper end. They actually have a lot more space and voltage options than some of the more expensive powerboards. My new bass pedal board probably uses 50% similar parts. I did a similar thing spending more on a good Reverb.
I got the BOSS ME-80 for 250-350 usd; and it may be a slightly out-dated pedal; but it's a way better deal than what you did here. It's also a better deal than most newer boss ME pedals simply because it sounds better, especially the distortions. It even has a great expression pedal. This pedal I got, because my favorite bands like Tool, and Metallica would use this for their sounds.
@@dre4011 agreed, i paid for a walrus pedal for around $250 and id say its one of the best pedals for the price. its extremely versatile, unlike most boss pedals which are usually one trick ponies.
As a bassist I would never use a generic (guitar) pedal but a dedicated bass one. Yeah I go cheap too but I have bass chorus and bass overdrive from behringer (which actually are boss pedals, same schems) - the difference on the low end was my first goal in creating my small rig.
Did you feel the physical pedalboard was a decent quality? You mentioned which pedals you’d buy, but would you use the board or power supply? Looking to downgrade my board to something a little more tame and thinking about something from temu just to have
Hey how you doing..., my name in mwenji a beginner bass player from Zambia in Africa just came across your bass pedal experimental video Nd its awesome how you can actually get such gear for less over there.. Lol please if you not going to ever use those please please kindly bless me with them they could be of great use here...
Harmonizer is a great pedal but def recommend it first in chain and also depending on what key you're playing in friends in whether you're doing single steps, fifths etc def suggest reading a manual on that one, can do some awesome octave work with it
You can probably make anything look fairly decent since the metal enclosures aren't that hard to acquire and you can punch all sorts of holes in those using nothing, but fairly old and dull pair of scissors and then screw in whatever pots, ports and switches you like, then get fancier looking knobs to top them off and you're all set to look fancy on the outside. The insides might be a wildcard in terms of what shortcuts have been taken and how much in spec the components are and what architecture was used. I wonder if buying like 20 units of the same pedals would produce a ratio where some of them sound different than the majority or would you have to buy them months or years apart to get a significant difference or deviations, component swaps or tiny PCB design revisions that don't warrant a new overall repainted and renamed pedal... then again the results might be similar with the expensive pedals as well.
The 3 last pedal are unbranded from brand. Caline pedals sound usually very good ....Bu the Joyo are usually around 80 dollars in Europe , the 16 dollar price tag is amazing
The question ist not not only IF the stuff works and how it works, but how long it willl last. And the next question is: How reliable is the service when you get faulty product? With the big and established online retailers immediate replacement is usually no problem, but I wouldn´t trust TEMU at all.
if you paid 16 bucks for a pedal and it breaks in 2 months who cares thats still 20 times less than buying a name brand pedal , bring em to gigs, if they get broken, or stolen, oh well, no harm done, you bring a 1k pedal board to a gig, shit walks away.
yea.. don't. they'll also take your information and sell it.. it's supposidly part of how they keep prices low, because they sell everyones info for a lot of money
I found out about that website just before Christmas, and although all the Christmas presents I bought were late .. everything I got was actually of surprising quality for the price. If I had spent the same on Amazon I think it would of been total garbage. I've ordered some bass upkeep stuff recently, like a maintenance kit and a stand .. so I'll see if that's any good when it arrives.
This kind of thing is very subjective. I think if you know it's cheap you're already biased out of the gate. People love brand names and it's not always about the actual sound. It would be better to compare it to comparable pedals that you're familiar with. Still a great video and, to me, it shows that they're at least worth the price if not more.
You should try doing something like this but with gear from "Behringer"! I have loads of their stuff and they are worth sooooo much more than they sell for!
I have a Joyo chorus and signal booster, they were about $20 apeice, and they work fine. What don't trust is "Temu", I don't know them guys from a can of paint.
behringer's great because they just steal other companies circuits - letting them do the R&D to get the tone and circuitry right - and then package them in crappy housings for a fraction of the price! everyone wins.. except the companies who actually put the money and effort into creating the circuits.
Hi Travis, Greetings from Australia, great informative video thanks!!!! Question - is it ok to use standard guitar pedal on bass, I have just taken up bass (from guitar many many years) and wasn't sure if it might damage my existing pedals? Cheers Jon
I've seen some of those pedals on Amazon before. And I've bought a couple before that were on sale, and they were open like the couple of yours. I think Temu is selling damaged packing + returned items, which, ngl, is a good idea
that was my assumption aswell, considering a JOYO pedal was on the website. JOYO is a fairly well-known brand with amazing quality for how inexpensive their pedals are, so seeing them being sold on temu makes you wonder how that came about
JOYO pedals are HEAVILY underrated. I had the Mini JOYO Space Reverb and it is a TINYYYY thing but it is absolutely awesome to use because I used it on my Bass in my Church Hall to get some AMAZING things.
the di is made by a company that makes two bass di . a red one and a yellow one . the yellow one is called the " wine cellar" and it is noteably better than the red one .
Ok look, I basically order much from TEMU, all kind of stuff, wich would costs horrable amounts if you buy it in normal shops. But not so technical things. Its some really cheap and with the coupons you can do really sometimes good deals. Cause what you always should do in such websites, read the comments first , and if there one write, It has not worked or something else like bad potis or such things.. Dont buy it. It will not be better on your item.. BUT... as well, technical things if you collect like this, I am skeptical for coming cheap, see, I have a Multieffect GP 200 from Valeton, quite a professional unit in my opinion, not bader than Boss for example, I just found conditionally in my local store and give it a try. Its usable for Guitar and Bass and anything else anyway, has the settings for that, with implemented balanced XLR Stereo Outputs, has like sure 10 different same time usable Effects. Has over 140 Amp Models for Guitar, Bass and Acoustic, Over 100 different Effect types to choose from. Easy editing, memory, an Expression Pedal for Volume and Wahwah, and a second Plug for another one, Effect Send and Return placeable almost where you want. And finally its handy lightweight portable, and costed me around 300 only. All inside you need and its sounds oh my good. GREAT GREAT GREAT I think with all noise you get on these single Pedals the more you add is the quality for the endsound, I dont know... I prefer my one unit solution saveable over single pedals non saveable, more space, more power wires on a heavy montage frame.. anytime again. And you dont have even a Phaser and a Flanger yet.. Bass needs a Flanger in some case for my taste. But every one its taste sure. But you get finally in the range of what I gave out as well and you dont have every kind of Effects then, even its may be cheap, its in summing not.. If I break it down in my Valeton I pay maybe per Effect so 1 dollar only... but its high quality, more adjustable parameters, combineable new like I need for every Patch and I have any warranty for the unit as well if it should go damage somehow. Cause with Temu is all ok if its ok, but if not, then you can easier and cheaper throw it in the trash than send it to repair back to China, just only what it would cost you to send back, promise... And one another thing I want mention is that China Electric Products you import with Temu are not all Certificated with the labels for safety use in our Country here Switzerland... I dont know how this is in your country. We have here strict rules for that. But there are cases they have not accepted in declaration process and otherwise there are known firecases cause some things like overheated and turn into desaster.. But like I said, I buy a lot of things at Temu, Lego for my children, even some clothes and stuff for kitchen or office, mobile phone holder, such things. Its cheap and quite good quality, even I had also stuff was not. But technical things, too risky and like you finally see yourself with almost 300 for that all not cheaper than my Super Multiffect board from Valeton. It must not be that, even the Boss ME 80 few years ago costed here only 250 Fr thats like 250 Dollar as well. And its a Boss then, known for quality pure since decades.
i guess you could go this route but i mean like what's the point when things like the boss gt1 and the gt1b exists thats cheaper than all these pedals together and sounds good too
Joyo pedals are actually fairly decent.
I really wished that they would make a bass wah tho
I got a joyo monomyth for 80 bucks. Pretty decent but needs a compressor to go with.
Joyo is one of my favorite pedal brands. I have several but my favorite is the Tauren which is a Klon clone.
Yeah but they are hella noisy and weird noisy
@@antoinelablanquie3827 I have not found this to be the case for me.

and azor pedals are really good too because the have a hum-reducing circuit in them
Joyo is good, i have a few of their pedals. Are they top tier? Probably not, but neither am I. lol
Yep.... Forgot About Them.... "Caline" Also Makes Some Awesome Sounding Pedal's for the Price as Well 🤘....
Kmise too. Just don’t buy their analog pedals when they have the digital options. Their digital pedals are good but their analogs are not. $20 only

At $70 for the Atmosphere, you are about $10 away from a used Hall of Fame reverb. Might as well go for that
Only if you prefer the HoF tones. The Joyo is more ambient and closer to the TC Trinity in fact.
Why used for something else you know nothing about?
The Joyo Atmosphere is a good pedal... I own a few Joyo pedals (one being an amazing 9-amp pre-amp) and they all work great...
Joyo pedals are perfectly fine. No worse than any other mass manufactured pedal brand.
No need to cheap out, u spend more on donuts , be fair

Just depends on how many pedals you're expecting to get, but yeah. Same is true for Amazon or any other seller that stocks these brands as well.

yea.. don't. they'll also take your information and sell it.. it's supposidly part of how they keep prices low, because they sell everyones info for a lot of money
dont
that joyo atmosphere is a beast man, got it brand new for a lot more
The Joyo stuff is legit. It'll be worth more some day.
I found out about that website just before Christmas, and although all the Christmas presents I bought were late .. everything I got was actually of surprising quality for the price. If I had spent the same on Amazon I think it would of been total garbage. I've ordered some bass upkeep stuff recently, like a maintenance kit and a stand .. so I'll see if that's any good when it arrives.
This was very helpful. What type of looper pedal do you use or recommend?
hi how did you manage to buy the joyo reverb for $16? can you send a link?
He accidentally reversed the price number first time around. When he demo's the pedal, it's back to $71. I was shocked when I saw it too.

This kind of thing is very subjective. I think if you know it's cheap you're already biased out of the gate. People love brand names and it's not always about the actual sound. It would be better to compare it to comparable pedals that you're familiar with. Still a great video and, to me, it shows that they're at least worth the price if not more.
You should try doing something like this but with gear from "Behringer"! I have loads of their stuff and they are worth sooooo much more than they sell for!
I have a Joyo chorus and signal booster, they were about $20 apeice, and they work fine.
What don't trust is "Temu", I don't know them guys from a can of paint.
On a different note I’ve never used a compressor on a bass, I’ve always had the limiter enhancer and has kept me happy for the last 10 years.
What would you say is the difference between these? (I've never had any pedals yet, not to say these ones).
He carries some nice Gibsons. These pedals make great ambient effects.
I have that joyo pedal and really like it, bought it in a real store.
I bought mine on Amazon after seeing some RUclips reviews.
I'm curious how the joyo pedal went from $71 to $16, when it clearly showed $71.12 on your screen cap LOLz.....😂
What is a good bass compressor to buy in your opinion.
I got a tuner from them. It's better than my very expensive fender tuner....
I think my most expensive pedal I use as a guitar player is the hotone Krush bitcrusher, which at I believe it was around 60€ is very decent.
Try going full on Behringer. I've actually tried some of their stuff and was not disappointed by some of them.
behringer's great because they just steal other companies circuits - letting them do the R&D to get the tone and circuitry right - and then package them in crappy housings for a fraction of the price! everyone wins.. except the companies who actually put the money and effort into creating the circuits.
It's nuts how far back you can bend your thumb when you rest it on the pickup like that.
awesome video man!
What’s your bass guitar, year and series?
The harmonizer has cool sounds on 4 or 5, which gives you "power chords" sorta. Also one step down is of if your singer is having a bad day
Have an Boss GT-1b bass processor, with an Fender Rumble 500 bass amp, next going to make an pedal board, thanks for the ideas
They all does what they say... And if that what the bassist need ti have then these pedal did deliver definitely.. 🙌
Hi Travis, Greetings from Australia, great informative video thanks!!!! Question - is it ok to use standard guitar pedal on bass, I have just taken up bass (from guitar many many years) and wasn't sure if it might damage my existing pedals? Cheers Jon
That was great thanks Dave 😊
I've seen some of those pedals on Amazon before. And I've bought a couple before that were on sale, and they were open like the couple of yours.
I think Temu is selling damaged packing + returned items, which, ngl, is a good idea
that was my assumption aswell, considering a JOYO pedal was on the website. JOYO is a fairly well-known brand with amazing quality for how inexpensive their pedals are, so seeing them being sold on temu makes you wonder how that came about
what are your fav pedals at the moment? i just got the para EQ pedal and love playing it through my bass, sounds great
might have been slightly open because of coustoms.
JOYO pedals are HEAVILY underrated. I had the Mini JOYO Space Reverb and it is a TINYYYY thing but it is absolutely awesome to use because I used it on my Bass in my Church Hall to get some AMAZING things.
the di is made by a company that makes two bass di . a red one and a yellow one . the yellow one is called the " wine cellar" and it is noteably better than the red one .
I have the Wine cellar Di pedal. It definitely does the job.And it does it well.
they say it's a copy of SansAmp Bass Driver V1
Great work on this video
I have a distortion from them called a holy wars and it's my most used overdrive or distortion pedal... Nice build
Ok look, I basically order much from TEMU, all kind of stuff, wich would costs horrable amounts if you buy it in normal shops. But not so technical things. Its some really cheap and with the coupons you can do really sometimes good deals. Cause what you always should do in such websites, read the comments first , and if there one write, It has not worked or something else like bad potis or such things.. Dont buy it. It will not be better on your item..
BUT... as well, technical things if you collect like this, I am skeptical for coming cheap, see, I have a Multieffect GP 200 from Valeton, quite a professional unit in my opinion, not bader than Boss for example, I just found conditionally in my local store and give it a try.
Its usable for Guitar and Bass and anything else anyway, has the settings for that, with implemented balanced XLR Stereo Outputs, has like sure 10 different same time usable Effects. Has over 140 Amp Models for Guitar, Bass and Acoustic, Over 100 different Effect types to choose from.
Easy editing, memory, an Expression Pedal for Volume and Wahwah, and a second Plug for another one, Effect Send and Return placeable almost where you want.
And finally its handy lightweight portable, and costed me around 300 only. All inside you need and its sounds oh my good. GREAT GREAT GREAT
I think with all noise you get on these single Pedals the more you add is the quality for the endsound, I dont know... I prefer my one unit solution saveable over single pedals non saveable, more space, more power wires on a heavy montage frame.. anytime again.
And you dont have even a Phaser and a Flanger yet.. Bass needs a Flanger in some case for my taste.
But every one its taste sure.
But you get finally in the range of what I gave out as well and you dont have every kind of Effects then, even its may be cheap, its in summing not..
If I break it down in my Valeton I pay maybe per Effect so 1 dollar only... but its high quality, more adjustable parameters, combineable new like I need for every Patch and I have any warranty for the unit as well if it should go damage somehow.
Cause with Temu is all ok if its ok, but if not, then you can easier and cheaper throw it in the trash than send it to repair back to China, just only what it would cost you to send back, promise...
And one another thing I want mention is that China Electric Products you import with Temu are not all Certificated with the labels for safety use in our Country here Switzerland... I dont know how this is in your country. We have here strict rules for that.
But there are cases they have not accepted in declaration process and otherwise there are known firecases cause some things like overheated and turn into desaster..
But like I said, I buy a lot of things at Temu, Lego for my children, even some clothes and stuff for kitchen or office, mobile phone holder, such things. Its cheap and quite good quality, even I had also stuff was not.
But technical things, too risky and like you finally see yourself with almost 300 for that all not cheaper than my Super Multiffect board from Valeton. It must not be that, even the Boss ME 80 few years ago costed here only 250 Fr thats like 250 Dollar as well. And its a Boss then, known for quality pure since decades.
not everyone likes purely digital effects
I kind of want to try some bootleg Temu overdrive cause part of me realizes it could sound absolutely filthy
recently picked up a joyo atmosphere reverb and it’s awesome, they make good shit
Interesting video. Thanks for posting.
I got a Danelectro FAB chorus pedal on Amazon for under 20 dollars and it's actually pretty decent.
Can’t tell if it’s the guitar or the pedal or the player? But damn sounds nice
Next video, do a gig with the pedals 😂 or a live session
That will be the true test! See if they can hold up 😬
That harmonize pedal sounds like the bassline of the Top gun movie song 😁
Now I wanna see you gig with this rig at church…
i guess you could go this route but i mean like what's the point when things like the boss gt1 and the gt1b exists thats cheaper than all these pedals together and sounds good too
The latency on the harmonizer is absurd. 😂
Valeton Dapper Bass. The all in one candy bar🎸
The Harmonizer reminds me of the video game Bubble Bobble.
A very *normal* review well done ^-^
I’d love to get some and use at church. Love the video
I actually liked the chorus pedal
The overdrive actually sounds quite sick
