 ln brief a guitar effect pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of a musical instrument or other audio source through audio signal processing. It's a magic box of tricks that will allow you to change the sound of your audio, or guitar. If you are new to guitar or guitar effects then you might be wondering what a guitar effect pedal actually does. Hopefully we can help answer that question for you. The most common guitar effects are probably distortion & overdrive, these guitar effects are often used with electric guitar in electric blu..

We are excited to be introducing a new range of accessories from JOYO. The Guitto range provides you with quality affordable accessories for guitarists & musicians. Every piece has been designed by the team at JOYO from listening to feedback from customers and our own experiences.  Over the last 10 years at work, at shows, in the showroom we have used a lot of accessories as we work and play. There are some amazing stands for instruments out there. some are perhaps a little too expensive though. There are also a lot of cheaply riveted pieces that are just so sub standar..

 What order do I put my guitar effect pedals in? It’s a good question, the order you would put your pedals in for your guitar are traditionally grouped together and put into the following order : >> Dynamics – including Compressors, Volume, Wah & Pitch>> Drive – Including Overdrive, Distortion & Fuzz>> Modulation – includes Tremolo, chorus, flanger, phaser etc.>> Delay – Delay and reverb, the spatial effects. It’s important to remember pedals do not really go wrong, o..

The JOYO Bantamp range use a single 12ax7 tube in the preamp, it is likely at some point you might need to change the tube in your amp.Unfortunately a tube is not covered in any guitar amp warranty, it is regarded as a consumable as they do not have a definite life span and can burn out, but generally preamp tubes or valves they will last a long time. Preamp tubes do not need to work as hard as a power amp tube, but they can fail at any time.So how do you know if you need to change your preamp tube your JOYO Bantamp ?Some of the most common signs that tubes need replacement are a c..

It’s been 2 years since JOYO launched the BanTamP series of guitar amplifiers and we always knew that these amps would be popular at home, in practice and even in performance. They might be small but they are extra mighty in sound. Many of our users have taken them along for performance, connected them up with 2 x 12 & 4 x 12 cabinets and have been praising them ever since. The demand for the little tube guitar head amplifiers from JOYO has often exceeded supply!. We listened to our users playing on the amps and also their feedback (no pun intended) and we are now..

 Whilst in isolation Dave is having a conversation with himself about the use of XLR outputs on the newer JOYO Revolution series and for recording guitar in the home studio.  Hey Dave, I noticed on some of the latest JOYO gear like the Cab box, the DRj Sparrow bass DI and the new JOYO Preamp House that they all have XLR outputs, why is that? Its not a cable you usually see on a pedal board or associated with guitars is it?.no not historically, but JOYO are catering more and more for guitarists in the studio and for those who are recording at home, If you look at the succ..

On Thursday 21st November JOYO audio UK closed its showroom doors for the last time, whilst I have thoroughly enjoyed having some high street presence in our local town centre over the last 3 years,  we have decided it is time to move JOYO UK out and up. We opened our JOYO showroom 3 years ago to showcase our products off to local followers of JOYO. It was the perfect location for us to be based providing us with great warehousing and distribution facilities; 5 minutes to work isn't a bad commute really either! We took the opportunity to branch out to support our..

If you’ve been playing electric guitar for a while and using guitar pedals, then you are probably getting pretty up to speed with how each pedal interacts with each other and how to get the “best pedal order” to keep your tone sounding good.  First of all there is no right or wrong order and there is no right way or wrong way, so this is just a basic guide and an overview of what a guitar effect loop is and what it does to your pedal & guitar amp tone. Where is the FX LOOP?You might have seen on the back of your amp, read on forums, or maybe heard a youtuber influence..

Here is our ultimate guitar effect pedal dictionary for some of the phrases we use on the JOYO website, if you are just getting into the world of electric guitar and effect pedals, then this guitar effect pedal cheat sheet will hopefully give you a quick overview of some of the words guitar effect geeks might use.

If you need any help..

There are a number of ways to power your guitar effects and choosing which method you use can make a difference to your board. Making sure you have the right supply will ensure if they come on, prevent them from getting damaged, or become noisy.  BatteriesPedals are made of electronics, so the power you use ensures that they stay on when you need them. Whilst the 1st series, 2nd series of JOYO pedals and DrJ pedals all can be powered with a 9v battery, this is not the best option to power a board, it is primarily convenient. Your pedal board will only sound as good as your cheape..

We are often asked what pedals you should use to create some of the tones of David Gilmour/Pink Floyd. As with any tone chasing request, I always try and break down the elements of the sound that you hear. Each track is different, different pedals are used in different parts and of course having Davids fingers and guitar skills certainly helped him achieve his own sound. I do not think any one pedal could achieve it, to create the tones of David Gilmour unless you go for a multieffects unit and spend some time dialling it in and experimenting. There are c..

Many guitar effect pedals can be powered by a battery which can reduce the number of wires in your pedalboard and make it more convenient to travel around with. The JOYO guitar effect pedals in Series 1, series 2 and Dr.J pedals can all be powered by a battery for convenience and often cited as a reason for buying. There are downsides to using batteries over a steady decent power supply, you have no idea what power you have left, if you use the wrong type of battery you do not get a satisfactory performance, finally we have an environmental impact to consider.   ..
