I also get asked about IR files, particularly as a couple of our products use IR files. It makes sense for me to try and explain in basic terms what an IR file is, why you might be interested in using one.
With guitar pedals you have analog and digital. IR files are used in digital pedals, we are taking a digital snapshot of audio. When you use a preset on a computer, you load it in right?.. That is a the principal of the IR file.
On the JOYO Cab Box it simulates different guitar cabinets/speaker types & Microphones. In order to recreate these sounds, we have 'recorde..
I often get asked what the difference is between these 2 delay guitar effect pedal types. There are basically two kinds of JOYO delay pedals available:
1. Analog delay effect pedals
2. Digital delay effect pedals.
>> View all the JOYO Delay pedals.
Both have their strengths, good for doing different things, they are great on guitar, bass or acoustic. If you can plug it in then anything can be used with delay. The delay is without doubt at home on a guitarist’s pedalboard, every electronic instrument, studio, singer must have o..
Here is my first collection of great videos about JOYO guitar effects & amps.
Lots of testing and reviewing of our pedals and amps happens over on YouTube, great entertainment. Honest, brutal and entertaining channels about guitars, pedals and more, we are regular watchers of the channels for sure!.
I just did a search on youtube of the JOYO videos (as I do) to see what was the most popular, this is pretty much that result on this page.
So, If you are ready to indulge yourself with some great videos about pedals and amps, then scroll aroun..
The JOYO UK unsigned artistfor March is the delighful Maya Delilah.
Maya has over 250k followers on TikTok and millions of plays and views online, the numbers are impressive !
It might have even been one of my daughters who showed me Maya Delilah playing an electric guitar, using a pedal looper on ‘TikTok’ social media. I found her on Spotify & YouTube. It made us want to know more. So many views and listens, great for sharing her guitar playing skills.
I'm not that familiar with Tik Tok as a user. My teenage daughters have been over the..

We often get asked what pedals we think you should put in your arsenal, so a good opportunity for us to share with you the official JOYO top 20 Best Selling most popular guitar effect pedals of all time ever...!

Oi Oi Oi ! Resistance 77. Our 2nd featured JOYO UK band we are introducing for 2021 are from Notts UK, this original band of street punks have the perfect mix of frustration, anger and energy that here at JOYO UK we love.
The influence of punk music and its subculture has spread worldwide, especially in England. It has taken root in a wide range of local scenes that often reject the affiliation with the mainstream pop cultures. Musicians who identify with or inspired by punk gave rise to spinoffs such as post-punk, new wave, and later indie pop, alternative rock, and noise r..
I have been meaning to write this article for years, in fact I started it and never got around to finishing it, because it can be a complex issue that can send you off on tangents. So I thought I would lay down some info here and then probably update it.
I wanted to share some of my tips to help identify and remove some noise from your guitar rig and guitar effect pedal board. Quite often I get asked why a guitar effect pedal board might be noisy. It is pretty hard to diagnose by email without being there with you. With everything like this, there is a cause and an effect (no pun intended)..
I am very happy to introduce to you the very first JOYO UK new music artist of 2021...
'Delights'
Based in Manchester, the 4 piece unsigned guitar band Delights formed in 2017 and feature Adam Maxwell (Vocals), Ben Kirkland (Bass Guitar) and Ben Squires (Lead Guitar) & Leo Willis (Drums).
Inspired by an ever growing catalogue of music ranging from Parliament and Fleetwood Mac to Khruangbin, the band merges their own musical tastes into a blend of bedroom pop with hints of classic rock, dubbed as “kaleidoscopic ..
Let’s face it 2020 has been a right nightmare for anyone involved in the UK music industry. It has been a tough year for everyone, the Covid struggle has been very damaging for the entire world, it has officially sucked big time.
The live audiences, music venues & our high street music retailers were all forced to stop dead in their tracks, with no sign of opening, the factory ran out of (some) components which was a bit of a mare, the post was delayed, but thankfully the music making hasn’t stopped. Nothing will stop music from happening we are all working hard to..

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 form of guitar effect is distortion & overdrive, these guitar effects are often used with electric guitar in electric blues..
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?
The order you would put your pedals in for your guitar are 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, or will they stop working if you put them i..
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. This terminology is not just for dummies, we go into more detail on product pages and try and explain what these pedals do and sound like.
So check out the guitar effects by type and take a listen to some of the great demos of effects we have online. If you need any help..
This is a lengthy guide I keep coming back to update as the topic gets covered a lot in online forums, I do get asked lot of questions about powering guitar effects. Mind you it is pretty important, getting it right all these different modular components trying to work together in unison.
First, there are a number of ways to power your guitar effects and the method you use can make a difference to your whole experience of playing electric guitar.
Making sure you have the right power supply will ensure your pedals actually come on, prevent them from getting damaged, or..
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.

The new JOYO Footheramin is a frequency oscillating guitar effect pedal that can be operated easily by guitarists feet.
With two metal antenna that sense the relative position of the foot, the front aerial loop controls oscillators and frequency adjustment, and volume with the other. Switches control the type of the oscillation, adjusting band pass filters, pitch and gate linear sensitivity.
Move your feet towards or away from the side aerial adjusts volume, whilst controlling RF oscillation, wave, gain and melon output with the other. Combine both to achieve the tone of the future.

There are very few differences between tuners with regard to the particular instrument they are used for. You can use a guitar tuner to tune acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitars and ukuleles, Violin, even mandolin & banjo.
