JOYOCabinet Modeling and Power Amp Simulator Effect Pedal Supports Third Party IRs Loading for Electric Guitar & Bass (Cab-Box R-08)

I bought this pedal to act as an always on style drive pedal to push the front of my amp and just give me a little bit of grit before I kick on my higher gain drive. It's replacing a tube screamer mini that just wasn't playing well with my Friedman BE-OD deluxe. The TS mini was just overpowering my signal with it's mid forward nature and making everything sound a bit honky and lacking in other pertinent frequencies. This pedal is absolutely perfect though, it props up what's already there and introduces some light overdrive to taste which is exactly what I was after. There's a tonne of bull human hybrid copy cat pedals on the market, some of them very expensive but this does a stellar job of giving you that sound at a fraction of the cost and feels very well put together to boot.Sometimes when pedals say they're transparent they're not being completely honest about that and will add or subtract things from your signal but this feels as close to transparent as you can get which is mighty impressive for the price.The controls feel nice and smooth and it feels like you're getting a premium product and it has the sounds to back up the package as well.I'd say the only downside potentially is the aesthetics of this particular line as the future chique look might not do it for you if you're looking for something a bit more traditional in appearance. Still, you'd be doing yourself a disservice to not check this line of pedals out and they do look nice in the flesh.I would highly recommend this pedal to anyone regardless of where they are in their musical journey.

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...

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.

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.

A smaller footprint than buying two pedals and a great sound. Feels solid and good controls so I’ve already ordered another from the R series (the Vision). Get it.

Very rarely write reviews for anything, only do when I am blown away. 100% BUY THIS PEDAL.Honestly, this pedal is absolutely fantastic! I had initially bought as a klon style over drive, really more for boost and john mayer sort of thing - but it's so, so versatile. Crank up the gain to full and you still get that clear responsive over drive, you can play the ac/dc style chords and arpeggios that are clear yet driven, similarily the gain is also that perfect amount for playing something like Black Dog - evenb soloing. No feedback like you would get with the distortion.
