All other consideration aside - if you liked the TS808, you will be 'safe' with the Joyo.

And if, for some reason you are not happy, just sell it on - probably for close to what you paid for it.
I sold a Joyo on eBay for more than I had paid for it new.

I have the Joyo Crunch Distortion for my occasional very dirty needs.
Excellent pedal. Very, very much like an MI Audio Crunch Box .. 'surprisingly'... ;)

Also check out the Biyang 'Baby Boomer' OD - similar, but a little dearer (and three TS 'voices')
This is what I got a few months ago- love my little 'Mad Bomber' (it's actually from the Biyang Baby Boom Series) Sounds good, looks good- green light too! Cheap, but sounds like a "TS" to me
