JOYO JF-10 Dynamic Compressor Guitar Effect Pedal

Product Information

The green scorpion beast comes in a sturdy metal casing that can take more than a few punches and heavy stomps, yet retains a light weight and compact size. However you choose to use your compressor you'll be pleased with the JF-10, it is an excellent value compressor, worth every penny. It easily does in its lower settings what the Joyo does flat out, but has the range to go a lot further. I have never owned a compression pedal before but being a player who leans towards the funk style I felt it would be a good addition. We're looking at a simple layout that's easy to control – just a set of three knobs, an on/off switch, mono In and mono Out, and a LED status indicator.

The pedal is pretty straightforward and has all the features you get on all the major name compressors and in some cases more. Many associate it with loudness wars and pop music, but it is actually a very useful effect that makes your guitar tone more on-point and more pleasant to every ear. Whether you just need it to keep the volumes even on clean passages and to stop any notes overpowering others or whether you want to use it after your overdrive pedals to give you near endless sustain, it's up to you. In terms of construction, the JF-10 has a durable metal casing which can withstand the pressures of gigging.The JF-10 is a great pedal for mild compression which nicely evens out your overall sound on cleaner guitar tones. It is very low everything, low ratio(I'm not sure it is constant), low speed, low output (unless you max sustain knob). The build quality is good and it feels very solid with its metal casing, and who doesn't like a green guitar pedal with a scorpion on it?

I'm not saying I'll never go for another compressor in the future but as someone who has never owned one before (I have played many others though) it is a great first step. It's footprint seems slightly larger than your average pedal, and you'll have to rip off the rubber bottom if you want to velcro it to your board.We are closed on Bank Holidays and Sundays and during the festive period our hours will differ, please check with us for our holiday hours.
