JOYO JF-10 Dynamic Compressor Guitar Effect Pedal

Product Information

However you choose to use your compressor you'll be pleased with the JF-10, it is an excellent value compressor, worth every penny. In terms of construction, the JF-10 has a durable metal casing which can withstand the pressures of gigging. I picked the big silver one up a while back in the classifieds and it really does have loads of squish. The green scorpion beast comes in a sturdy metal casing that can take more than a few punches and heavy stomps, yet retains a light weight and compact size.

It's footprint seems slightly larger than your average pedal, and you'll have to rip off the rubber bottom if you want to velcro it to your board. The Joyo Dyna Compressor JF-10 is a re-creation of the early classic 80s Boss compressor, with very low noise. It easily does in its lower settings what the Joyo does flat out, but has the range to go a lot further. We are your new best friend when it comes to guitars, gear, lessons and everything else that goes with the greatest musical instrument in the world! This is a true bypass pedal, meaning that the stompbox does not produce a single sound or a hint of noise when connected and not turned on.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The pedal is pretty straightforward and has all the features you get on all the major name compressors and in some cases more.

A compressor allows you to play delicately picked passages with masses of effects and you'll hear every note perfectly without any of them disappearing into the ether or overpowering the others. The JF-10 is a great pedal for mild compression which nicely evens out your overall sound on cleaner guitar tones. The JF-10 Dyna compressor pedal is at the lower end of the scale, but is robustly built and has a picture of a scorpion on the front. What I really don't understand setting sustain 3 o'clock and level 9 o'clock give less compression than setting level on 12.Our expert team will guide you with gear reviews, lessons and advice to help make your guitar life a little easier and more enjoyable.

Audio controls are fair, durability and reliability are high, and who doesn't like a feisty Scorpio? Overall, these are seemingly subtle, yet essential traits of a good sound, and you should not underestimate them in favor of some flashy effects.

Whether you just need it to keep the volumes even on clean passages and to stop any notes overpowering others or whether you want to use it after your overdrive pedals to give you near endless sustain, it's up to you.

Many associate it with loudness wars and pop music, but it is actually a very useful effect that makes your guitar tone more on-point and more pleasant to every ear. The build quality is good and it feels very solid with its metal casing, and who doesn't like a green guitar pedal with a scorpion on it? If playing with a little bit more distortion, you'll find the pedal makes your riffs a little more prominent and clearer. Trevor Curwen has played guitar for several decades – he's also mimed it on the UK's Top of the Pops. Nice subtle squash - perfect for single coils, it's a compressor, is it worth going nuts on such a subtle effect?

So essentially there's two sides to this fella – on one hand, it keeps your sonic peaks under control and secures a well-rounded sound even if you strum too hard at moments. I have never owned a compression pedal before but being a player who leans towards the funk style I felt it would be a good addition. Well, it certainly has a lot of output, making it a useful clean boost, and the compression doesn't sound bad, if a little bright. After messing around with it for a few hours I can say i'm pretty happy with it, on a scale probably a 7/10. A compressor allows you to play delicately picked passages with masses of effects and you'll hear every note perfectly without any of them dissapearing into the ether or overpowering the others.
