Flawed, but sounds very good

Enzi_667 16.03.2026

Not being able to separate the fuzz and the octave is annoying, true. Also, it briefly cuts the signal when you engage the bypass switch (or at least mine does). The negatives for me end here.

It sounds really great on bass or guitar. The fuzz is massive, and with great low end, the octaver tracks well all the way up to E. Controls are intuitive and work well, also the small switches for dry-tone and the fuzz type work well for guitar or bass (I think up positions are intended for guitars, down - for bass, but you get nice tones if you do not follow this assumption).
It's a great addition to my effect chain despite the setbacks. I do hope that future updates to this effect will fix them.

Nice for the price, but there's a catch...

I guess the fuzz is pretty nice, but don't buy this as a 2-in-1.
The Octave will not activate unless you activate the Fuzz.
So unless you don't use octave unless you also use the Fuzz then this is the pedal for you.
However, if you want to use the Octave without the Fuzz, skip this one.

The quality of the pedal is nice, metal housing, decent feeling knobs.

Bien mais....

Pédale d'octaver/fuzz sympa mais comme tout le monde l'a déjà dit, obligé d'activer le fuzz pour acceder à l'octaver. Mais avec le fuzz a 0 on a un octaver classique a dispo et ça fonctionne, le truc c'est que niveau son, on sent qu'il y a un peu de grain qui altère l'octaver c'ets pas toujours hyper propre.

Sinon le tracking est loin d'etre horrible pour le prix, mais si comme moi vous ne cherchiez que l'octaver, il vaut mieux se tourner vers des pédales plus spécialisée.

Par contre comme à chaque fois chez Joyo, obligé de souligner que pour le prix c'est carrément raisonnable !

Tolles Gerät mit einen Manko . . . .

BestBass 20.09.2024

Der Joyo R-29 ist ein gut verarbeitetes und gut klingendes Gerät mit ordentlichen Einstellmöglichkeiten bei einem vernünftigen Preis. Macht einfach Spass den Fuzz ohne oder mit Octaver laufen zu lassen. Leider ist der Octaver nicht einzeln zu benutzen und läuft nur mit eingeschalteten Fuzz. Um doch nur den Octaver haben zu wollen, können dann die Fuzz-Potis auf 0 gedreht werden. Funktioniert gut, aber . . . . Hätte man besser machen können. Daher der Punkt Abzug!!
