JOYO JF-15 California Sound Effect Pedal

Product Information

Also, the Joyo California is a true bypass pedal, which is a nice bonus and ensures you have a cleaner signal path. Fortunately, Joyo has created a more than a sufficient clone of this Suhr Riot pedal. However, this is not a direct clone as there are some differences between these two pedals. For example, the Suhr Riot comes with an extra voicing toggle switch. Which lets you switch between three different high gain distortion voices. Note that the image I've used here is from the actone sound pcb board & doesn't contain the components soldered.

They’re built well are are pretty rugged. My Joyo clone pedals have already endured years of abuse and still function perfectly. A Drive control completes the second row and allows you to add more or less distortion to your guitar sound. Working in partnership with the Voice control, you can get a range of overdriven tones by adjusting these two controls and keeping the EQ controls at 12. I also understood, that the Chararcters incresed special mid range frequencies -> This "Amplified Mid range " output is clipped by the Drive part of the the circuit (even is pot is at the rest of signal is not clipped (when drive pot is on ; when character pot is on 8 and drive at 4 all frequency are clipped... so to do what I want I need to keep the drive stage... government and regulatory authorities and other similar organisations, as required or authorised by law or as required as part of the Services; and

About this Pedal

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 The only downside to the Ironman pedals is that they can’t run off a 9v battery. Only a power supply. Another thing I realized is that they’re a bit on the higher side in terms of price when compared to the 10 and 30 series. However, they definitely still fall into the budget category of pedals. For the pedals that are smaller versions of clones from other series, I haven’t written much of a review as they’ve been covered above in the 10 series and 30 series. Suhr makes an incredible distortion pedal called the Riot. This is a very high-end pedal that in essence, gives you an extra gain stage or lead channel in the form of a pedal. The fact that this pedal is so heavily priced makes it out of reach for the guitar player on a budget. Us Dream vs Suhr Riot Thats a lot of work there. You could design a pcb with mini switches to make a all-in-one version of these. You can use it instead of an amp and it can save your gig if your amp fails, just put it at the end of all your other pedals and set it clean like your amp then just take the output from the California Sound straight to the desk.

Part of this 10 Series by Joyo, are some amp simulator clones. The originals are made by Tech 21 Sansamp. Who are well known for their amp simulation and preamps. These Joyo’s are great clones of these Tech 21 amp sims. They can also be used in multiple ways. Firstly you can use them as a normal stompbox to achieve the tones of your favorite amps. Secondly, you can use these as a preamp straight into a PA system. And lastly, you can use these as a preamp for recording purposes. The Joyo California Sound JF-15 Pedal is a complex guitar distortion effect stompbox, reportedly based on a Tech21 pedal of a similar name. For that reason, I’ll take a look at which pedals the Ironman series are clones, copies, originals or draw inspiration from other pedals. The major feature of this series is the pedals small size as well as the knob covers. The small size of these pedals makes them a fantastic addition to an already clustered or cramped pedalboard. The California sound is also brilliant on bass as well as guitar. Giving a massive low end sound whether you’re using it as a DI or an overdrive. For the purposes of this clone list, I will be discussing only the 10 and 30 series of pedals. The reason I haven’t included the Iron Man series is that these mini pedals are supposed to hold their own. And whilst they very well may be clones, I’m much more equipped to discuss the 10 and 30 series.While the market is full of distortion pedals, few emulate a classic amp. Imagine being on a gig where you can’t use your own amp. You can use the California pedal as an EQ boost and transform a dull-sounding amp into an inspiring tone. I also change the metyhodology of measurement of the zener diodes and got the correct value of they.
