Joyo Sweet Baby-- Mad Professor Sweet Honey clone

     This pedal is made in China by Joyo and is a clone of the Mad Professor Sweet Honey, which goes for over $300.00, which is alot more than the $40.00 I paid for the Joyo.   It comes in an all-metal enclosure and has a high quality switch and pots, with nice knobs and an LED too.
     The pedal has three knobs, for volume, drive and focus.   Focus dictates how quickly the pedal distorts as well as adjusting the EQ of the outputs signal.   At lower settings of the focus knob the low end is more pronounced and the attack is slower.   At higher settings, the tone is sharper and the attack is edgier.   The gain knob goes from a very light overdrive to a medium low-gain overdrive.   This pedal is extremely touch sensitive and it offers a wide range of sounds, nice and crunchy without too much compression.   All of it's settings offer a natural, uncolored tone and a pleasant break-up.   The pedal sounds quite amp-like and is just as much at home adding grit to an already overdriven amp as it is pushing a clean amp.
     This pedal can be had for about $45.00-$55.00 from a number of eBay dealers and is a complete steal for the low price.  It's great for beginners and pros alike, at this price it would make a nice gift for a budding guitarist.
