Joyo R-12 Band Controller EQ Reviews

Good Budget EQ

JOYO is one of the most improving brands out there. They are doing cheap clones but they are good and this is one of them. I wanted an EQ which i can use for both guitar and bass, so chose this one, its covering most of the bands you need. Its effective, you can hear easily what its doing and can use as a booster if necessary. Nice color, nice LED, sliders stop at the center.

People always neglecting the importance and effectiveness of the EQ, you can dial in many different tones just with an EQ, you should get one no matter what you're playing or your system is.

Does the job quite well for a good price

And it glows nicely in dark …. Happy with this

Made my day

I had few problems with my sound as playing a specifically built guitar made me sound woofy on some settings, and fuzz has this specific high pitched zizzing that i hate. After reading some reviews i decided to try this EQ and not to break my wallet. From the first click (as i kinda knew what i wanted eq to do for me) I managed to make my guitar sound better, it cleaned up the things i hated and enriched tones that i wanted to sound more clearly. I think this is a great product, does it's job well. And that fancy lightning makes the pedalboard look more pro.

The color boost

This pedal to color the tone and as an overall volume booster is amazing. Also it glows in nice colors.

Perfect budget MXR clone

A great EQ pedal, seems to be a MXR 10-band EQ clone, I'm very impressed by this range of Joyo pedals and this is no exception. Great quality for a great price. When all the settings are neutral it does not change the tone, a test which a lot of budget EQs fail to pass.

The one you need!

Works as promised no need to go for more expensive options!

Ditch the Hum and Get the Tone You Want!

Totally removed my hum issuess from using a lot of pedals and an ancient electrical installation in my old house, without losing any musicality. Also great if you are a tone tweaker who knows what tone they are after and can't quite reach it with the guitar's own tone knob.

SO GOOD EQ FOR THE PRICE

One of the best choises when wanting an EQ pedal for your guitar or bass! I wont lie and I ll admit that those lights and the desighn got me into picking one up against some other cheap eqs but the choise was totally worth it. It is a great pedal after all.

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.

very dissent EQ

does the job very well for the price range

Joyo R-12 Band Controller EQ

Not bad, for the price it's way better than the other products out there

amazing good product

no tone loss from my critique ears.

Nettes Spielzeug.

Guter Klang, gute Features, sensationeller Preis, die Schieberegler machen dann aber das Vergnügen schnell zunichte, sie greifen zu spät aber dann sehr/zu beherzt.

Great for guitar and bass

Super unit. I can highly recommend for all your live and recording needs.. Beats the Boss, which is also excellent.

Very useful pedal that should be owned by anybody playing multiple instruments!

I play elecric gutar, bass and a nylon string with a piezo pickup and this pedal is great for all three!

I combine it with my full pedalbord for the electric and the bass and only use this for the nylon with a bit of reverb. This device is great for really rounding out your sound and basically means you have a boost/amp-feature laden pedal on your chain - it is very useful!

The colour is really cool and the option to have every lider light up is incredibly handy live and at home if playing in the dark.

For the features it has, which is a full 12 band EQ, I find the size of the unit to be perfect as any smaller would have made it quite fiddly, and any larger would have made it cumbersome. The pedal is great for bringing along in a box with your other goodies or in its original case which is sturdy an will last a while being brought around in your backpack.

Do not hesitate - for this price this pedal is very good purchase!

Cute, powerful little box

One of the most important pieces of gear a guitarist should have.

This pedal does its job beautifully, looks cute, has 3 different lighting settings, feels sturdy, is fairly compact and doesn't cost a leg.

I use it in the effects loop of my guitar amp and it dramatically improves the sound.

I would buy it again if it were lost. I even like the color.

Works great.

Gives great control over my amplifier, and I love the amount of faders as compared to other EQ pedals.

good equalizer

This is my first equalizer pedal. It works fine I am using it with a resophonic guitar equipped with a magnetic pickup.

It works fine on stage cutting frequencies that produces unwanted feedback.

I am only a bit skeptical on the robustness of the sliders that are so close to the foot-operated button. No problems until now but I wonder how long they can last.
