Features 4

  • DUAL-CHANNEL OVERDRIVE 2-STAGE DRIVE & INDEPENDENT BOOST: The Maximum delivers two stacked overdrive circuits in one pedal. The Drive channel provides a pure, uncompressed overdrivefrom subtle clean boost to rich, amp-like crunch. Kick in the dedicated Boost channel for an additional gain stage that adds saturation, sustain, and harmonic richness for solos. Players describe it as having "a very wide palette of usable tones" with "great transparency" that won't color your core tone.
  • TWO TOGGLE SWITCHES 6 UNIQUE VOICINGS: Shape your signature drive with two independent toggle switches. The left switch selects between Hard Clip (modern, tight, articulate), Flat (transparent, balanced response), or Smooth (warm, compressed, with rich harmonic bloom). The right switch toggles between standard Diode clipping and MOSFET circuit modeMOSFET smooths out the transients for a warmer, more sustained tone. Combined, you get 6 distinct overdrive voicings for everything from punchy rhythm crunch to singing lead sustain.
  • 4-KNOB CONTROL VOLUME, TONE, GAIN & BOOST: The four responsive knobs give you precise control over your sound. For the brightest, most open tone, push the Tone knob above 90%. The Boost knob adjusts the amount of additional gain saturationnot volumefor your lead channel (note: Boost only operates when the Drive channel is engaged). Start with all knobs at noon, then fine-tune to match your amp and playing style.
  • AMBIENT LED LIGHTING & ROAD-READY DESIGN: The iconic ambient LED lights on the front and rear edges bring a futuristic edge to your pedalboard. With 3 modes (Sync, Always On, or Off) adjustable via a recessed switch, you can customize your look for any setting. Encased in a rugged aluminum alloy chassis (12578.548mm, 388g), the Maximum is built to withstand heavy stomping night after night.

Great Pedal for any shredder!!!
Style: Octave,MOD Color: Pink
I own a whammy, and although the whammy is great in it's own right's, the joyo xvi might be better. It work's better, in that it's crispy clean, and doesn't breakup like a bit fracture in the note. The signal hit's the tone perfect, with no delay. Sound's like a double neck guitar, being played at the same time. Harmonic's sound spot on the dime. I love it! ... show more

Sometimes you get what you need
Style: Overdrive,Dual Channel Color: Blue
I'll be honest, until it was suggested this pedal wasn't even on my radar of overdrives. I was looking for overdrives and this one was suggested. I like what I've heard about the JOYO R-Series, so I decided to take a gamble on it. With a name like "Maximum" you'd think this was thick, chunky, bordering on distortion overdrive. But, you'd be wrong. In actuality, this based on the Fulldrive 2 MOSFET which is based on the original 808 Tube Screamer. It's so close to the Fulldrive that the enclosure is even the same color. But, that's fine because that's a great pedal and this one is too. You have 6 controls; 4 knobs and 2 switches. The knobs are mostly your standard fare settings: Tone, Gain, and Volume, with an inclusion of Boost for the Boost switch. Think of the Boost switch as a second stage overdrive (because it is) and the Boost knob is the Gain for the Boost stage. The Boost knob does nothing if the Boost switch is not engaged. But, the real meat is in the two switches. The left switch toggles between a hard clip, flat response, and what it calls "Smooth." The original Tube Screamer had a bit of a mid range bump, and that's basically what the Smooth setting is. Flat, as you might infer, is a flat EQ response. Hard Clip gives you increased headroom. I initially thought it really boosted the gain, but it doesn't. It's really not a more overdriven sound, but there is a very noticeable output increase. The second switch goes from your rudimentary standard transistors to the MOSFET transistors. The takeaway here is that the MOSFET transistors behave very much like the Hard Clip on the other switch. Now, that the introductions are made, here's my takeaways from it. If you set up the Maximum on the Smooth and Standard settings, you get a very good Tube Screamer tone. The knobs all work along all levels from low to high. Sometimes you'll see pedals where gain at 10 o' clock is not any different than 1 o'clock. But in this pedal, it's pretty smooth across the board on all knobs. It's true for all settings as well. The flat mode will take out that midrange hump. The interesting thing being in standard mode is that if your gain and boost are in the same territory, let's say they're both around 1 o'clock, the boost switch will make little if no impact. No volume difference or increased gain. It's like they're not stacking, but rather a different stage all together. So, I learned that I can turn the Gain knob down to like 9 - 11 o'clock and the Boost to 3 or 5 o'clock and you'll hear a definite switch. Hard Clip on the other hand is a different animal. The volume on stage 1 is greatly amplified over the other two options. Similarly valued Gain and Boost now show increased gain when enabling the Boost stage. It feels like it's stacking now. If you like it loud, this is where you want to be. Maybe. The very odd thing is that the MOSFET mode feels exactly like the Hard Clip. Except, that you can EQ it in the Flat and Smooth settings. It's so close, in fact, that if you are in Hard Clip, you can switch between MOSFET and Standard and hear no difference at all. It's basically the same setting. Meaning, you can't hard clip the MOSFET to get distortion tones. The Boost seems to stack in all MOSFET configurations. That being said there is a lot of tone in this inexpensive box. Kudos to JOYO for bringing tone within reach of everyone. Outside of tonal range, the Maximum is in a metal enclosure and feels pretty sturdy. Not like a tank like a BOSS pedal, but it doesn't feel flimsy like a cheap knockoff pedal or a Danelectro. The R-Series have these cool indicator lights on the front and back that illuminate across the entire pedal instead of just a little LED. Even the Drive and Boost indicator lights are rectangular instead of round. Gives it a bit of a futuristic "TRON" like feel. If that's something you hate, there is a toggle on the bottom of the pedal to turn off the front and back lights (also if you love it, you can also always have them on). I seriously love this pedal. When matched with my Big Muff clone in "Smooth" mode, the mid bump of the Maximum compensates for the mid scoop of the Muff and makes a really killer tone. Alone, it can tackle most overdriven rock, blues, and country tones from the 70's to current day. ... show more

Good concept
Style: Modulation,Multi Effects Color: Brown Gold
I like that it has two sets of multi-efx which can be operated in series or parallel. It’s a great box, def worth the price. Maybe it’s bcos I don’t have tons of free time and haven’t checked it out thoroughly, but it seems like the modulation efx, the choruses especially, are kind of subtle. This box doesn’t sound as “in your face” as I like. But it’s a very clever way of implementing efx, and it does dial in some interesting sounds. A chorus on 1 side and a ring mod on the other for example, I don’t think they “sit on top” of one another; they combine and become one unique effect. If the effects were a bit less bland, this would be the mother of all efx boxes. But I think this would be useful for ppl who are into more mainstream music than I’m into. It looks pretty fantastic aesthetically; it comes across as being more expensive than it is. ... show more

KILLER PEDAL!
Style: Octave,MOD Color: Pink
If you want that weird octave combo with your favorite fuzz or heavy distortion, this thing does it well and cheap. The tracking is extremely impressive, it had me droning out the DOOM in no time. HIGHLY recommended!

Sturdy and attractive
Style: Simulator,Cabinet Color: Royal Blue
I love this product and enjoy working with it to sculpt my tone. There are so many options built into it for versatility. I wasn't looking for one or two ways to express my interest in many genres. This allows me to experiment with so many cabs, mic placements, EQ parameters, and preamps that I can then tweak with my favorite pedals. The only thing I would have wanted is for the directions to explain how to set it up with a pedal train. Set up with interface and DAW is fairly clear and there are lots of You Tube demos for that. Right now, I have it plugged in to my FRFR and added a Reverb/delay and an overdrive or two. ... show more

It gives me the grit that my sound needs.
Style: High Gain OD,Clean,Boost Color: Brownish yellow
I play a gibson explorer and when looking for pedals, I kept in mind that the sound I want is very Coheed and Cambria. This pedal is just the right amount of grit I needed to get that sound on a budget.
