JOYO JF-12 Ultimate Fuzz and Voodoo Octave Guitar Effect Pedal

Product Information

Xotic effects are the manufacturer of the BB Preamp. I would definitely consider this pedal to be on the high end of the pedal spectrum. The Ironman AT drive is a smaller and cheaper clone of this BB preamp. Both the Joyo and the AT drive will produce a warm overdrive (think Eric Clapton in the Cream era) with a bump in the midrange. Joyo has built a reputation for itself when it comes to affordable and great-sounding effects pedals and the Voodoo Octave is no exception. It is preferred over the Joyo Fuzz Pedal, Purple Storm, because of its octave feature which can come in handy. It also does not interfere with the normal distortion effect when disengaged, which makes having the feature useful for emergencies even when you don't use harmonic effects frequently in your playing. If you're interested in this stompbox, this Joyo Voodoo Octave review will provide you with everything you need to know about this guitar pedal. Should You Get It?

Just by looking and hearing the effects from the 10 and 30 series, we can see Joyo make some of the best Chinese clone pedals. However, as I mentioned at the start of this list, there are essentially three series or ranges of pedals by Joyo. I’ve covered the 10 series clones as well as the 30 series clones already. But, did you know there is another series of pedals by Joyo called the Ironman series? Chorus pedals are one of my favorite effects, And, the original Boss CE-2 happens to be my favorite of all chorus sounds. However, they’re hard to come by as the original CE-2’s are no longer in production. Thankfully, Joyo makes a great clone of this Boss Ce-2 in the form of the Joyo Analog Chorus. They even have a similar baby blue color. I have been using and testing Joyopedals since 2014 and I can safely say that I am besotted over these cloned pedals and have them on my pedalboard over their expensive counterparts. Such attitude is particularly important in the case of cheaper stompboxes, as certain mistakes may be fatal for your sound. Practice makes perfect, though, and I would highly recommend buying a less expensive octave pedal if you are a beginner in the world of octaves. The brand we are going to talk about today is Joyo and the renowned pedal is JF-12 Voodoo Octave. This baby will cost you less than a pair of trousers and will still provide you with a quality performance. It will deliver more than you might expect, which will act as a wonderful surprise in the end. Are you ready to take a risk? If so, then keep on reading! FeaturesThe reason I choose Joyo clone pedals to be on my board is that they’re cheap enough for me to step on them like I don’t care, which Is what happens with regular gigging, touring, and practicing. I also wanted to know if anyone switched trannies to germanium, this thing has way too fuzz for me...any other ways to do this? Seems like if the fuzz knob is past 20% its too much.

When I initially saw the Joyo Roll Boost, I was convinced that it was a clone of the MXR Micro Amp. However, I was wrong. In fact, the Joyo Roll Boost is a clone of the MI Audio Boost and Buff pedal. Which is actually very similar to the MXR Micro Amp. It is important to note that the Roll Boost is not a clone of the new MI Audio Boost and Buffs. But, rather it is a clone of the older versions which featured only the gain control. Just like the Roll Boost by Joyo does. This octave pedal allows you to blend an octave below and octave above a given note, balancing the sounds with the responsive controls. A single input and two outs allow you to split the dry and wet signals. Joyo is an already-established Chinese clone pedal brand and they’ve been around for quite some time. As a result, we can see their pedals hold up well

When I jumpered the octave switch, that was because I removed all the stomp switch wiring while I was tracing the circuit, those wires break off really easy, just look at them wrong and they fall off. I knew that from another Joyo I have. So with no octave switch connected, I jumpered the connection on the PCB to make the octave turn on. All you need to do to make the pedal work correctly is what is shown in that picture, nothing else. I would desctibe the current sound as very Bassheavy, Muse like heavy/fuzz synth like tone, which I really like the Octave up gives an even more synth like feel. All of these options come in a very durable enclosure and a well-planned design. This pedal’s layout is simple enough to get a great tone right out of the box. With a little adjustment, the M288 Octave Deluxe is capable of pricing sounds for the most discerning players.

Looking closely at the Joyo Extreme Metal, it is quite easy to see that this is pretty much a very close copy of the EHX Metal Muff. The Joyo is enclosed in a smaller casing which could be considered a good thing for many. Both the Joyo Extreme Metal as well as the EHX Metal Muff feature an epic Boost switch which allows you to add more “tops” to your guitar sound. Allowing you to cut through the mix. Joyo Power Tune Review Now, this may be a stupid question, but what kind of transistors are on the circuit of this pedal? Could they be replaced with germanium trannies to make it sound like an octaved Supafuzz/Tonebender mkII? Cuz, that would be really really sweet. The space verb is a pedal from Joyo that is not a clone of anything. Still a pretty versatile reverb pedal though. that provides you with 4 essential types of reverb from one bite-sized effects pedal. The Joyo space verb has: The Growl and Girth controls are where most of the action is in this pedal. The Growl knob is the mid-range, slightly edgy octave-below controls, while the Girth knob is for a smoother octave-below. Since these controls are independent of each other, it opens up a great array of tonal possibilities. The Dry Knob helps you achieve the precise blend of effects to signal ratio. I have some tips for those who are new to modding, and anyone who does this mod and simply doesn't think about things like this:Turning the two 10uF electrolytic caps around will make the octave effect work. Swapping the other 2 caps was not such a dramatic change. To mix in your direct signal, you can use the Dry knob and if you wish, you can also add up to + 14 dB of internally adjustable mid frequencies (400 Hz or 850 Hz) by engaging the Mid+ switch. The appeal of this octave guitar effect pedal stems from the various combinations it offers. The slight volume modulation that accompanies the octave down adds a bit of movement to the dry signal and sills out the frequency spectrum in the second octave down. You can also combine the octave-up with the dry signal to produce a believable 12-guitar sound. If you want a pipe organ sound, add a second octave up. The Voodoo Octave has three knobs for the effect parameters: Fuzz, Tone, and Volume. It also has a toggle switch that lets you select between Normal and Mid-Cut modes. For those unfamiliar with what these do, keep reading for a brief explanation of the controls. I believe that capacitors use a marker to indicate direction (a white stripe down the side?) and have their value marked on them. So IMO what would be really useful is an indication of where or which way that direction indicator should be, and what values should be where.
