JOYO R-09 VISION Multi-Effects Pedal Dual Channel Modulation Effect Pedal for Electric Guitar Each Channel with 9 Effects Support Stereo Effects Input & Output

I've now had this pedal for 3 days so i thought I'd share a review.. This is my 3rd JOYO pedal. I also have the Voodoo Octave and Compressor. All 3 pedals are built well and sturdy.. The R-09 has 18 different modulations. I bought the pedal because it has a couple mods that I don't currently have pedals for. I was interested in the rotary cabinet, the bit crusher and ring mod. I am really enjoying the sound the rotary adds when added to a tube screamer pedal. The bit crusher is fun because it can be used to make old school video games sounds. I've found the tri-chorus option to be useful too. It gives a different tone than the current chorus pedal I have. 9 of the mods are enabled by one button and the other 9 are enabled by the 2nd button. There are several different phaser options too. Using the speed, control and depth knows, its easy to dial in a vast range of phaser sounds. If you enable both buttons, There is a switch which lets you decide if you want to combine both mods or send A thru B. The only thing that I found that I didn't like about the pedal is that its kinda hard to read the names of the 18 modulations around the mod knows. Thats not a big deal though, I've almost got them all memorized already.

I purchased this pedal in hopes of adding some modulation to my board which is overloaded with drives and reverbs, but no chorus, phase, or flange. I run my board into a Peavey Classic 30 tube amp split with a Boss Katana 50. The Katana has plenty of effects on board but I like the signal split into warm tube / cold solid state (running a JC120 emulator on the Katana) stereo effect. Previous reviews have mentioned it seems to be a jack of all, master of none scenario and I would not disagree with that, however the reviews that state the signal is dimmed, I have experienced the same thing with the EHX Memory Man in that the signal is completely taken over by the pedal. It took a lot of tweaking to find a happy medium with the effects as the knobs change function slightly with each effect. I had to spend a lot of time experimenting with my chain to find a good spot for it but once I did, I am happy with it, especially at the price, and wish I could give it 4.5 stars, shaving half a star because it was not a pedal I immediately loved, and some minor cons (see below). My board is about half budget, half not budget effects so I am not a pedal snob, I just look for pedals I can afford. My amps are budget mined as well. Pros: Endless variation via the parallel / slave switch Tons of available effects combinations Box is built like tank Effects that you could only make with a bunch of odd pedals or a multi-effects, like low bit into ring, having an effect like a grandfather clock in space Bright and unique lighting on the pedal and an aesthetic upgrade from older Joyo pedals Stereo output A ton of available effects for the price Cons: Non-intuitive function of the knobs (they change slightly depending on the effect, there are a few really thorough review videos available that cover each effect and knob function) Knob finish feels cheap like the chrome paint will chip off eventually Signal split does not appear to be true stereo (flange does not seem to move from amp to amp) but the effect definitely changes in each amp adding depth No presets, but this is minor as most stompboxes don't have a preset feature Potential manufacturing issues per other reviews, though I had none Takes a lot of playing around to get a good sound locked in, for me and my gear at least Uses: A single box that gives you flange, tremolo, rotary (leslie), phase, ring mod, and tons of other effects for a really great price. I would recommend this pedal for a budget minded guitar player who would like access to these effects but don't want to shell out hundreds to get each effect individually, even if you bought the cheapest available on Amazon. Tips: experiment with signal chain order to find a good spot for it. I found it works best before my main echo and that allows the stereo swirls to be repeated and sound huge. Also, do not leave both outputs plugged in to the pedal if only running one signal / amp. Having both outputs engaged changes the way the effects output and in some effects adds lag, although this could become a creative choice for someone.

Amazing bang for your buck!!!!!! 5 stars in the 80 dollar department!!!!! This is a beast if a mod machine for guitar and bass.......and im sure more but I havent made it that far haha. All you have to do it put all the nobs at noon and click though one side or both and you will find literally endless inspiration. And the blue lights are Rad!!! You can chose to have them on all the time, just on when the pedal is on/off. I thought this was a great feature and again in that $80 range is crazy. The build quality is very nice and it is a metal enclosure. The pedal is solid feeling. Also its great you can run stereo if you so choose. There are a few modes that have a small volume loss, but its not worth a 3 star review ill tell you that. Tap temp was not an issue for me I engaged and disengaged multipul times and did not run into any issues. Over all this thing is killer and is a sleeper in the pedal world. Put this bad boy on your pedalboard and find out.

Until we add an analog ring modulator to The Original Soundtrack studio arsenal, at this price point, the effect in the Joyo Vision pedal will do quite nicely. The Vision has two banks of modulation effects, including rotary, phase, flange, chorus, vibrato and tremolo. Combine effects from both banks and create your own sounds! There's even a low-bit rate setting to transport your sound to the glitchy eighties, if that's your thing. Truly visionary. - Bonnie, Ty, Ricky and Scott at The Original Soundtrack Studio.

Brilliant idea, and some decent effects for the money, but doesn't live up to its promise. I returned it in favor of some single modulation pedals. There are some big volume differences between the effects, which Joyo should have been able to correct (its all digital after all). There wasn't a single effect that really stood out as being as good as the mod effects on a Pod or Zoom multi-effects pedal, and none were as tweakable (this has pots rather than a digital interface). Best effects are some of the choruses and the tremolo, but I think Joyo has better individual analog pedals that do them better. The routing toggle switch and stereo in and out are great pro features, but sadly the effects aren't very pro sounding. There aren't many photos online of the pedal turned on, which is a shame as it looks spectacular - there's a thin strip of plastic running along the front and back edge of the pedal that lights up like a Fibre optic. Pretty dramatic, though unexpected. Over all build quality seems very high, likely quite a durable pedal.

Upon getting this home I was so excited to play. First time I used it, it was great. I loved it. Then I go to play it today, and something was rattling around in the case. Thankfully, I'm sort of tech savy. I took it apart and to my suprise a whole entire part of the board had seperated from the main board. See picture. So I then had to reassemble a brand new pedal. Turns out it was missing a part of the assembly. Just a simple screw that's it. Which led to the separation. Needless to say I will never purchase another one of these pedals, or any other from you guys. Sucks, because in all honesty I really liked the sound a lot.

Very well built pedal, sounded amazing to a point... some of the effects were awesome, but most of them seemed very dull, amazing tremolo and chorus tho. Looks amazing on a pedalboard.

I recently purchased the Joyo Vison pedal. I gotta say that I'm pleasantly surprised at just how much this thing can do! There are 18 individual modulations that can run in series or parallel with stereo ins AND outs. I love the vibrato, opti trem, and the chorus effects. Having two that I can run simultaneously really opens my sound options. The Vision has become one of my favorite pedals. You can't get something this versatile for this price at this build quality anywhere else. Has really opened my eyes to this company and I will have to check out some of their other products for sure. As a worship leader, this is a budget friendly, tough addition to my pedalboard that has replaced two other pedals. Fantastic product. Seriously.
