R-12 Band Controller EQ : Great EQ pedal that doesn't break the bank

EQ is important to have for pretty much any guitarist and this pedal delivers without breaking the bank.

The frequencies controllable are the same or similar to comparable EQ pedals with fixed frequencies of other brands. It's relatively sturdy (exactly the same as the other JOYO R-series pedals, of which I have a few) and doesn't alter the sound in other ways than you would expect from a EQ pedal.

In my opinion the foot switch has way too much resistance, which means that you need to press it with quite some force for it to work. It's the same switch like in older JOYO R-series pedals like the Tauren (Klon) or Maximum (Fulldrive), while the newer pedals like the King of Kings (KoT) have switches with way less resistance which I prefer greatly.

All in all I can recommend this pedal for sure. The only reason I would upgrade someday to something like the Boss EQ-200 or Source Audio EQ2 is when I need (midi) programmability or presets for my EQ settings.
