Critic Reviews

Joyo JF-16 British Sound Pedal Review — Neil Spencer Bruce

spencerbruce.com

A budget-friendly pedal that emulates classic Marshall tones, the Joyo JF-16 British Sound offers impressive value for its price. While its amp modeling capabilities are commendable, especially in direct recording contexts, it falls short of the American Sound pedal's impact. The sound is dynamic but introduces noise at higher drive settings. Built with a robust aluminum case, its durability is slightly compromised by a flimsy battery cover. Ethical concerns about its production linger, yet for under £30, it remains a worthwhile consideration for those seeking a crunchy, British rock sound on a budget.

I'm speechless!

I wouldn't think a pedal in that price would be the ideal for some rock & roll and agreesive sounds!!!

This pedal is supposed to sound like Marshall JCM800 and it does come close to it! You can use it with the clean channel of your amp or with the dirty channel to get some hard rock sounds. Ideal if you play Guns N Roses, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Whitesnake etc.

Honestly I have this pedal on every time I play. It transforms any amp into something way better especially if you use an amp with 40 watts or less and adds some "color" so it won't be boring. However the Voice knob (stands for the Character knob you might find in other pedals) will make the sounds to be weird if you turn it all way up so keep that in mind.

And it's incredible its made by aluminum. Usually cheap pedals are plastic. It also has a kind of rubber on the bottom so it won't slide if you put it on a pedalboard or on the floor.

Amazing!!!

Preferred Settings + Usage:

Use it through the dirty channel of your amp:

Amp settings:

Level - 1 Gain - 1 Treble - 5 Middle - 3,5 Bass - 3

Pedal settings: Low - 6,5 Mid - 5,5 High - 7 Level - Full (10) Voice - 8,5 Drive - 8

Not Bad

It's no Marshall clone, but it's a nice distortion. With the gain low, it's a nice cranked amp tone. With the gain high, it rips. I'm not usually one for Joyo, but this series is nice. Worth checking out as a distortion, rather than an amp simulator.
