JOYO Polyphonic Octave Guitar Pedal, Independent Sub & Upper Octave with MOD Modulation Effects & Dry Blend, True Bypass (XVI R-13)
Main highlights- TRUE BYPASS & ROAD-READY R SERIES DESIGN: True bypass switching preserves your guitar's natural tone when the pedal is disengaged—zero tone coloration and zero signal degradation. Encased in a rugged "tank-like" aluminum alloy chassis (109×67×48mm, 248g), the XVI features the iconic R Series ambient LED lighting with 3 modes (Sync, Always On, or Off) via a recessed switch on the underside.
- POLYPHONIC OCTAVE WITH INDEPENDENT SUB & UPPER CONTROLS: The XVI delivers rich polyphonic octave tracking—capable of handling chords and multi-note passages—with fully independent SUB (low octave) and UPPER (high octave) volume knobs. Blend in a thick, rumbling sub-octave for massive low-end weight, add a shimmery upper-octave for soaring harmonic sparkle, or mix both with your dry signal for expansive, organ-like textures. Players describe the tracking as "extremely impressive" and the tonal range as going "from subtle harmonizing octaves to thick, soupy domination."
- MOD MODULATION EFFECTS — BUILT-IN PHASER/VIBRATO TEXTURES: Unlike most octave pedals at this price, the XVI features a dedicated MOD (Modulation) control that adds a lush phaser/vibrato-style warble to your octave signal. Dial in subtle movement for depth and dimension, or crank it to unleash huge, room-filling pipe organ tones that players describe as "monstrous" when paired with fuzz. The modulation affects only the octave voices—your dry signal stays untouched for maximum clarity.
- JOYO QUALITY & AFTER-SALES CONFIDENCE: Backed by JOYO's decade-plus reputation for crafting innovative, budget-friendly gear. Important: Powered by 9V DC adapter only (center negative, not included). Rated current: 90mA. No battery compartment. For the cleanest sound, use a regulated, isolated 9V power supply. Should any issues arise, our dedicated support team is ready to assist through your Amazon order page.
- DRY BLEND & 4-KNOB CONTROL — TOTAL TONAL FLEXIBILITY: Four intuitive controls put complete sonic command at your feet. The DRY knob adjusts your unprocessed guitar signal, SUB controls the low octave volume, UPPER sets the high octave level, and MOD dials in modulation intensity. This flexible control layout lets you craft everything from a subtle bass undertone to a full-blown synthetic orchestra.

JOYO Bass Sub Octave & Fuzz Guitar Pedal, 7-Knob Control with Dry/Wet Blend, Dual Fuzz Modes & Independent Octave/Channel Footswitches, Bypass (GLOAM R-29)
Main highlights- ROAD-READY R SERIES DESIGN WITH AMBIENT LED LIGHTING: Encased in a rugged all-metal aluminum alloy, the GLOAM features the iconic R Series ambient LED lighting with 3 modes (Sync, Always On, or Off) via a recessed switch on the underside, giving your pedalboard a sleek scarlet glow. Bypass switching ensures straightforward signal management when disengaged. The smooth, responsive knobs and sturdy footswitches are built to withstand heavy stomping night after night.
- JOYO QUALITY & AFTER-SALES CONFIDENCE: Backed by JOYO's decade-plus reputation for crafting innovative, budget-friendly gear. The GLOAM is part of the R Series, built with upgraded precision components. Important: Powered by 9V DC adapter only (center negative, not included). Rated current: 120mA. Battery operation is not supported. For the quietest performance—especially with high-gain fuzz circuits—use a regulated, isolated 9V power supply and avoid daisy-chaining with other pedals. Should any issues arise, please contact us through your Amazon order page.
- DUAL-CHANNEL SUB OCTAVE & FUZZ — INDEPENDENT FOOTSWITCHES: The GLOAM features two independently controlled channels—Sub Octave and Fuzz—each with its own dedicated footswitch for instant activation. The Sub Octave channel generates a powerful low octave signal that tracks accurately down to low E, adding massive depth to your bass lines. The Fuzz channel delivers everything from subtle, gritty warmth to full-on fuzz with two selectable modes via a toggle switch. Note: The Sub Octave channel operates in conjunction with the Fuzz channel. For octave-only tones, turn the Fuzz knob down to zero while both channels are active.
- DUAL FUZZ MODES & DRY TONE FREQUENCY SWITCH: Two toggle switches provide instant access to additional tonal flexibility. The FUZZ MODE switch toggles between two distinct fuzz voicings—one tight and modern, the other loose and vintage-inspired—effectively giving you two fuzz pedals in one. The DRY TONE FREQUENCY switch selects between two different frequency points for your clean signal, allowing you to tailor how your bass sits in the mix. Combined, these switches unlock a wide spectrum of tones, from classic, aggressive fuzz to synth-like textures.
- 7-KNOB PRECISION CONTROL WITH DRY/WET BLEND: Sculpt your signature tone with seven dedicated controls—far more than most pedals at this price point. DRY VOLUME adjusts your clean bass signal level, DRY TONE shapes its brightness, SUB OCTAVE controls the low octave volume, GAIN sets the fuzz saturation level, FUZZ adjusts overall fuzz intensity, and the dual-band LOW and HI EQ knobs provide precise tonal shaping for the fuzz circuit. The Dry/Wet Blend approach lets you dial in the perfect balance—from subtle grit with full low-end clarity to aggressive, saturated fuzz.
