JOYO JF-15 California Sound Effect Pedal

Product Information

I’ve never used a noise gate and never really investigated them to be completely honest. I am not very well equipped to talk about these pedals. However, I can confirm that this is not a direct clone of any other Noise Gate out there. But as far as functionality goes, it looks very reminiscent of the Decimator noise gate pedal. I know the Decimator is an exceptionally popular Noise Gate. So I would not be at all surprised if this Joyo noise gate was at the very least inspired by the Decimator Noise gate. Having said that, the Joyo does one of these voices. And it does it very very well. The Joyo US Dream, as well as the Suhr Riot, are fantastic pedals to be used for lead tones. And, just like a natural overdriven tube amp responds to volume control, so will these two pedals. Essentially, they clean up really nicely.

Because I know for sure that they are clones. And, I own as well as used extensively, these two series of pedals. Okay, I changed my mind. After much deliberation and debate with myself. I have decided to add the Ironman series of pedals to this Joyo pedal clone list. Also, the Joyo California is a true bypass pedal, which is a nice bonus and ensures you have a cleaner signal path. I know the pedal has a 3 band EQ, but boosting the mids / cutting the others does not seem to help much. It sounds like the mid control is tuned to a slightly higher frequency than I'm targeting.They’re built well are are pretty rugged. My Joyo clone pedals have already endured years of abuse and still function perfectly. Let’s start with boost sounds. If you just want to shape your overall EQ keep the Voice and Drive controls down low and adjust the Joyo California Sound’s 3 EQ and Level controls to suit.

If you do not provide us with the personal information described above, some or all of the following may happen: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. marketing businesses engaged by us to disseminate materials to which recipients have consented; and or, could it be related to the 42nF instead of 4.7nF cap thing that you spotted? There are a lot of comments that this pedal has way too much bass and I wondered (long shot) if the two might be related. 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.
