JOYO Octave Effect Pedal R Series with MOD Effects and Independent Octave Adjusting for Electric Guitar (XVI R-13)

This thing is absolutely excellent.So first, what does this thing do or at least what can it do:1. Instead of relying on the sound engineer to properly mic your guitar amp up (and you know he is just gonna slop a 57 over the front and mic the floor) you can plug into this instead and feed him a high quality cab and mic emulation of your chosing.2. Instead of relying on the poorly emulated cabinets in older modeling units such as the 11 rack or the older pod pedals, you can bypass those cabinets and use this pedal in it's place to instantly upgrade the sound.3. You can ditch your amp! Yes you can actually just feed pedals into this thing! Josh Scott of JHS pedals did a review of the Revolution series on youtube and his whole demo was done this way! That means you only need to drag along your pedals and have this thing on your board!Here is what you get with the cab box:1. 20 factory included guitar and bass cabinets. These are hard set within the unit so no need to worry about accidentally deleting them or something. You can see the photo I uploaded for the list of included cabinets.2. 10 emulated microphone models. Again you can see the list in the photo I included. They are all excellent and the microphones I would want included if I had to chose.3. 4 emulated valve/tube preamps. You can select between EL34, EL84, 6L6, and 6V6. You can also bypass this if you are using this pedal with amp sim hardware where you would be feeding this through the loop.4. 10 user slots that you can upload your own 3rd party or self made impulse responses. What is an impulse response? It's a capture of the sonic characteristics of a power amp, guitar cabinet, and microphone. There are many excellent companies that sell them such as Lancaster, Ownhammer, or redwirez.5. 3 different eqs all of them with dedicated low pass and high pass filters. They are: 5 band graphic eq for guitar, 5 band graphic eq for bass, and 4 band parametric. These can also of course be bypassed as you like.6. You get 128 user presets. Presets are where you can store a cab, mic, power amp, and eq set however you like or use a 3rd party impulse and load it there.The pedal is incredibly intuitive and the software that comes with it is easy to use.Now there has to be something I find at fault with it right? Well I don't really consider it a fault so much as an inconvenience. In order to load your own impulse responses you need a micro USB cable so you can plug this into your PC. This is not included. It's not really a big deal though as most people will have at least one of these hanging around. There is also no power supply (like most pedals) included and no way to run this off a battery so it's on you to supply a power adapter, however this thing runs on a standard center negative 9v DC power adapter.Finally I'll provide this for informative purposes only but this pedal draws 235 mA of current (read via a trutone 1 spot mA meter). This means that a cheap 200mA adapter is probably not going to work out. You are going to want to supply this with a 500mA or more DC power adapter or use a higher current rated tap on your power supply. My trutone cs-6 and cs-12 had no issues power it.Pros-easy to use, operate and understand-provides great sounds in a small package-looks great with it's LED trim around the frame-XLR and midi jacks are NOT board mounted-solid constructioncons-no power adpater (which is normal and expected) and no included usb cable for connecting to a PC or MAC.

I'm a big fan of Joyo pedals and this one does not disappoint, I got it on sale and I'm delighted about the price.What is Preamp House? It's a two channel programmable preamp with one channel voiced clean and one voiced dirty. The instructions are not good but after reading them and a bit of experimenting the Preamp House delivered the goods for me.You use the controls to set up and create your clean sound, then press and hold the clean channel selector footswitch to store the sound in the clean channel position. Then repeat the process for the distortion channel, press and hold to store the sound. You're now ready to play.A three position toggle switch controls where the single cab IR is implemented, it can be off or on and the switch allows you to put it on the 1/4" output, the XLR output or both outputs. The single IR is a 4x12 loaded with Celestion speakers, fortunately for me that is my favorite cab configuration. The IR adds a lot of low-end fullness and reduces high frequency fizz on distorted tones.A single mono effect send and return loop is located prior to the main output. I'm currently running a Joyo "Atmosphere" reverb effects pedal in the loop and it sounds great.The "Clean" channel sounds really great, the Fender models are my favorite but there are many great tones available. The "Dirty" channel can really crunch and sing, the EVH voice is outstanding, I like all the dirty sounds and have had a lot of fun experimenting with them. A favorite feature is how the Dirty channel gets cleaner as you turn down the guitar driving the Preamp House.I've done most of my playing and testing of the Preamp House pedal using a Gibson SG and a Line6 Variax Standard guitar. Clean acoustic guitar sounds are full and rich, crunchy sounds easily go from Clapton to AC-DC to Stones and even Black Sabbath.One caution, the Joyo Preamp House requires more current than a 9-volt battery can provide. I tried a brand new Duracell 9-volt and it would make the lights light up but the pedal produced no audio. When I powered the pedal with a 500ma power supply output I was rewarded with big rich sound. (Hint: the Joyo Atmosphere pedal also likes more current than a 9-volt battery can deliver).I personally like this Joyo Preamp House pedal much better than the more expensive SansAmp or Strymon Iridium. While the Iridium allows more IR capability it does not have an effects loop nor channel switching nor the ability to store your settings.The overall build quality on the Joyo Preamp House is excellent. The metal work is heavy duty and all the controls feel good and solid, the pots are smooth without any scratchiness. The paintwork, nomenclature and silk screening are all very high quality as well.The Joyo Preamp House turns my little battery powered Bose S1 FRFR speaker into a fire breathing Marshall or a Fender Deluxe Reverb or something in-between, I could easily gig with this combination and be happy with the dynamics and tone.The Joyo Preamp House WAY exceeded my expectations and fulfills a need. It allows me to play rock guitar without dragging along a dedicated guitar amp. The XLR output can drive a PA system direct while the 1/4" output can drive a stage monitor amp like my Bose S1 or I can turn off the IR on the 1/4" output and plug into one of my Marshall combo amps.Preamp House is a great pedal, great tones, great features and a great price.Good luck and good music to all!

Solid case, lots of usable options, and nice basic looper. The only downside is that there's a short (1/2 second) delay when clicked on, so if you turn it on during a song it'll cause a brief moment of quietness.

Excellent little pedal, the variety of sounds you are able to mix and create are endless, and fun. Great for this price range

EQ pedals are not that complicated. You don't need a $200+ pedal. They all share the same function internally, just differ in range. If you like to really dial in your tone, this is great value. If you want something easier to manage, then try an affordable 6 band EQ. This one is versatile for those that want that, and it's built very solid. The lights that light up the pedal (see pictures in the listing) are really sharp looking in person and they are great for seeing the pedal in a dark lit room. I'd buy this again over an expensive brand any day. Save the extra money for pedals that do something unique to your sound. Good EQ pedals don't have to cost as much as your favourite delay pedal, or reverb pedal. When building a rig on budget, this will help free up some cash!

cumpre o que promete

Es un pedal que tiene lo que promete, por el precio es una buena opción para iniciarse en el uso del looper. Una herramienta para probar arreglos sobre progresiones de acordes o para practicar sin metrónomo usando los sonidos de batería. Al inicio es difícil acoplarse a grabar usando la batería porque se siente un retraso pero necesito pasar más tiempo con el pedal para dar una opinión definitiva sobre el modo looper+drums. Pero por separado drums y looper van genial. Las luces led son un detalle extra, pueden parpadear a la velocidad de la batería, estar siempre prendidas o estar apagadas. En general tiene una buena relación calidad-precio permite hasta 40 minutos de grabación en capas, 7 estilos de batería distintos (género).Cosas mejorables: el control de volumen de la batería va desde el inicio muy alto y de ahí hacia arriba, hay que tenerlo muy cerca del cero para un volumen moderado.No tiene opción de usarse con batería de 9v y no incluye cable de alimentación.Para algunas personas las opciones de drums pueden ser limitadas (no hay muchas opciones de compases) pero hay que tener en cuenta el accesible precio.

I had doubts on this pedal as it was a lot cheaper than most comparative rivals and other well known brands (and looking very much like an MXR clone), however my doubts were taken away as soon as I plugged it in. The pedal is well made with a steel chassis, so should stand up to the rigours of gig use well. The pedal in either 9v daisy chain or 18v isolated DC pedal chain is silent with no hiss or buzz whatsoever. The EQ frequencies available are allowing me to trim my bass tone with a finer degree than by amp head or onboard guitar knobs, giving very pleasing tones in headphones and in a 200w combo amp (not tried with my gig stack yet though). The added volume control is a bonus as it's possible to compensate for any losses and gains during EQ settings. I'm looking forward to utilising this when I'm recording as it should pay dividends when I'm looking to dial in a precise tone. Overall, this pedal represents very good value for money and I'm already buying a second one for my other pedal board...
