Why does the pedal have no power, no LED, or no sound? Confirm Guitar → INPUT → OUTPUT → Amplifier, fully insert both 1/4" plugs, and place a plug in INPUT. Use a fresh 6F22 battery or DC 9V center-negative adapter. Power and battery are not included. If it still fails, message us through the order page. How can I reduce hum, feedback, or unwanted noise? High-gain distortion can magnify noise from guitar pickups, cables, amps, power supplies, daisy chains, or extreme Gain/Volume settings. Test Guitar→JF-17→Amp first with quality cables, moderate knob settings(12 o'clock) and an isolated power supply Is the Boost a volume boost? No. The Boost switch primarily adds high-frequency presence (around 3.5kHz-4.3kHz) and saturation—it's not a pure volume boost. It makes your tone cut through the mix, especially for solos. Start low and adjust to taste. Why does this pedal make so much noise/hiss? The JF-17 is an analog high-gain distortion circuit. Some hiss at extreme settings is normal analog behavior. For the clean results: 1) Use an isolated power supply; 2) Add a noise gate after the pedal; 3) Keep Drive below maximum. What is included, and what should I do if setup checks do not solve the issue? A power adapter and 6F22 9V battery are not included. If the pedal still does not operate after checking power, input connection, cables, and control settings, send us a message through the Amazon order page with your setup details.

  • Awesome metal pedal, best one yet & best sounding.
Style: Metal Distortion,EQ Color: Black-white
This pedal is amazing. This is the metal sound that I have been wanting. Just at 12:00 50% on all the knobs not even with the extra boost mode, It sounds insanely scratchy and awesome when you do Palm mutes and chunking type metal riffs. I have just kxtaxon metal guitar which honestly the pickups on that thing is pretty good, which makes that with this pedal sound like you're playing something way more expensive. The extra boost mode on this thing sounds insane , Like at barely put it on 25%, It sounds like you're playing something without even playing anything. The gain instantly gets all loud and staticky just ready for a power chord! Ioppwin holy wars metal pedal good too & almost as good as this one us. ... show more

  • Not bad, good options
Style: Metal Distortion,EQ Color: Black-white
I recommend this pedal if you're looking for an affordable alternative to Metal Zone by BOSS. There's a bunch of low cost distortion pedals that can't do very much at all. This pedal, however comes with low med high options, and a boost with ots own knob to add even more oomph! Options are good. Especially with a good amp with equalization options, you can customize away to try out many different sounds. It's not super great, some settings can feel lacking, there is a shhhh/raspy/rattling distortion effect tough to get rid off to where you might opt to use something else if you have anything better already. Also powering it up with adapter didnt work at first, it made loud popping noises that are above nornal when bumping cable while plugged in. Maybe just breaking it in? It has good controls, nice large knobs, and seems to bear lots of power. If you want something with lots of options, especially if to be a starter pedal, this seems pretty good deal to me. ... show more

  • Its actually really good if you set it up correctly.
Style: Metal Distortion,EQ Color: Black-white
Honestly the best pedal and I started to learn to play guitar 10 days ago and if you want similar sounds like video that shows a demo of the pedal, just tune your guitar to Drop D not E standard, the distortion is very very high gain too, effects work wonders, looks like a toy but its really a good high gain pedal and its affordable, very easy to set up just put output to the amp and input to the guitar, if your first pedal get this you will be surprised ... show more

  • Stopped working after 3 months (purchased Sep 2025)
Style: Metal Distortion,EQ Color: Black-white
I purchased two units initially, one for my son and one for myself. After approximately three months of normal use (connected to pedal 9v ac adapter), one of the pedals developed a significant fault. The output level dropped dramatically and the distortion circuit no longer engages correctly, producing little to no gain or saturation. A persistent background buzz is also present when the effect is active. In addition, the pedal no longer passes signal in bypass. With both footswitches disengaged, there is no audio output at all, indicating a failure in the true bypass switching or the associated signal path. When operating correctly, the pedal sounds excellent. The second unit is still fully functional, so I am hoping this failure is related to a quality control issue rather than a systemic design flaw. I am hoping Joyo will stand behind the product and offer an exchange or replacement, as the failure occurred just outside the Amazon return window. ... show more

  • This is way better than i expected
Style: Metal Distortion,EQ Color: Black-white
I have been on a quest to find a great, if not good, high gain distortion pedal and this has largly been a failure. I have no joke, tried at least 20 of them and sent them all back except this one by Joyo and one other by MXR. Most of "them" (all brands) claim and swear in the description that they have "the best high gain distortion/overdrive, blah, blah, blah". I plug them in and they are weak or not really truly actually high gain sounding or they are modeled after the "muff" circuit or just dont have a lot of get up and go if you get my meaning. This Joyo HAS LOTS of get up and go! It also had a surprise...the boost, which has its own on/off switch also affects the drive and level of the distortion but in a good way. I will admit, a noise gate is kind of necessary but its kinda necessary anyway. My point is, I will be operating this thing with the boost eternally ON. Its that good. And another thing...its not a one trick horse either. With very little effort I can dial in the most saturated metal tone you can think of and then if I need to, can pull it back a bit and have a medium blues overdriven tone or go somewhere in between with something that sounds quite like Soundgarden. But the hero here is the boost switch that doesnt act exactly like a boost switch. This is one of the best distortion pedals I have found and I have found many...and then lost them again on purpose. One last parting thought, I dont need to dime any of the knobs. There is still some travel left after setting every single knob and this is, at least to me, unheard of in a distortion/overdrive with built in EQ. ... show more
