JOYO Overdrive Distortion Pedal R Series High Gain OD Clean Boost to Dist for Electric Guitar Effect (Tauren R-01)

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...

First and importantly this is exactly what it says on the tin, its a 'Cabinet Modeling and Power Amp Simulator Effect Pedal', it has no other effects, and that is absolutely fine!Feeding this into a full range PA speaker system and you can hear the subtle differences between the settings. Fun and interesting to hear the different sound profiles with different amps, mics and cabinets.It can be a little noisy if you have the gain turned up, so make sure you are feeding a reasonable signal in.The item seems to be well made, has sturdy footswitches etc. The fancy green backlighting is blinding in intensity but fortunately you can turn off with a switch on the bottom, so fair enough.As mentioned this is just a amp, cabinet, mic simulator, but it might have been nice to have say some reverb, and a couple of other effects. But what it does ,it does well so guess for most users you will have other effect pedals in the chain, so its no big deal anyway.Would I buy again - Yes.

This is a great Reverb pedal! I absolutely love it!There's some fantastic not so common algorithms to use that add some glorious Reverbs to your tone.I absolutely adore ❤️ the lighting at the top and bottom of the pedal which is made all the more awesome in how you can sync it to the effect being used while the pedal is on or constantly on. There isn't one bad choice of effect either. All the selections are usable and sound fantastic. The spring Reverb is so authentic, you'd think it was an actual Reverb tank!The build quality is fantastic and the price is absolutely unbeatable for what you get!The only problem is it doesn't have Stereo outputs / inputs. It's not a massive problem but would have been a good addition.

Bought this on a whim... Extremely glad i did. So many great tones all in one box. Youll spend alot of time finding great tones and the tone pot is incredibly diverse! Well done Joyo.

The unit is sturdy and caused no extra noise. The control over my sound was MUCH better than a 7-band EQ pedal and I think it’s great value and use it professionally. If I had to critique something it would be the bright LED lights but I usually have my pedal board behind a monitor so easily solved. Definitely effective at transforming a clean (raw) electric cello sound into something more like an acoustic (if that’s what you’re after!). 10/10

After trying various reverb pedals over the years, this one is the best that I have bought so far. My budget would not stretch to the Boss RV-6 but I'm glad I bought this one anyway.Plate, Spring, Church and Shimmer reverbs are included as well as Eko-Verb (reverb with delay), Forest, Comet, Rewind and Pulse.The main reverb selector switch and the Mix and Decay knobs are a good size. The Tone and Modulation/Depth knobs are like the ones found on a nano pedal.The output is mono and there is no built-in facility to run this pedal on a 9 volt battery. I don't consider this as a drawback as I use it on a board in series with other pedals using a power unit. However if you need battery operation, a cheap way is to buy a 9 volt battery snap connector for a guitar pedal (available on Amazon). This just plugs into the power input on the front.The pedal also comes with a trail switch function so that reverb trails don't disappear suddenly if the bypass switch is used.Another cool feature is the blue neon type lighting around each end of the pedal. This can be controlled by a switch underneath.Finally the sounds from this pedal are excellent for the price. I've tried the Behringer Digital Reverb and the TC Electronics Skysurfer and in my opinion this one is way better.

I’m really impressed with this pedal. As a reference point my usual setup is a Strat or a Les Paul through a Vox VT40X modelling amp simulating an AC30. When played with the Strat the Tauren generates a lovely, subtly thickened bluesy tone just on the edge of breakup, and with the Les Paul the result is a more powerful overdrive, but not too saturated. Whether used as a gentle boost or moderate overdrive the tones this pedal is capable of are far greater than its modest price tag would suggest.

No buzz!! I already recommended this unit to a fellow musician. My other distortion pedals all had a buzz but this thing is superb (and cost less than my others). Would highly recommend it for lead guitar players and/or other players. thanks!!

I picked this up for use on a minimal pedalboard (boost, overdrive, delay, reverb). My goal was good sounding, useable algorithms with no-brainer tweakability at a reasonable price. This pedal fit the bill perfectly.

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.

Good quality and I like the blue light background.
