High-Gain Amp Simulator Guitar Pedal, Built-in Noise Gate & 412 Cab Sim with 3-Band EQ & FAT BOOST, 3 Output Modes, Bypass (Chopper-Z R-18)

This has replaced my Rat pedal. Instantly has more of that “ nasty” feel to it as where I always felt the rat was a bit safer sounding in comparison. If you dial it back enough it sounds pretty damn good with a swollen pickle. I would also put this above the recently released fender Godzilla ( based off another pedal I know) but I equally love that pedal too.

Sounds great regardless. The price point makes it that much better. My favorite way of using it is a preamp into a power amp effects loop. The gate makes a huge difference. The one caveat is that it is amazing with active pickups for different metal genres, but the gate interferes with my SG. I try to use the guitars volume knobs to dial in output levels and the gate catches a lot of the signal and kills the sound or let's in too much and everything gets really noisy. In short for metal, it will be great. Anything more nuanced provide challenges.

It is cheap sounding, strong build quality, but not effective enough to keep. Experienced extreme volume drop. Tones out of it were mid. Returned quickly.

Wow!!! Awesome. This is a game changer. Great quality. Great tones, very little noise, sounds great in front or in the effects loop. Works well with other pedals, pedal board and easy to use. I own many JOYO pedals and products.

Just awesome. Slightly different gain from the dark star. You decide which is better. I placed it in front of the amp rather than effects loop.

Defective item. And I have no idea if I received a used item that had already been returned, since the label was in weird warped shape. For the price, they should not be sending me an item in this condition. Issues: there is a short in the power input, it either won't power on at all, or it flickers on and off. My power cord is fine and the correct one, it's not the cord.

Incredible tone and sound for such an affordable price.

i originally got this pedal for the sound gate because I play in a garage band and have been tired of the loud feedback. but it's like the feedback is worse because I can hear it while palm muting on fast play throughs. I am very disappointed in that aspect. But I will say I really like the sound of the pedal. I know you get what you pay for but with the price of everything these days we can at least dream. if you aren't going to crank your volume then this pedal will work well for you and have a good sound. if you are going to crank it then spend some more cash for a decent pedal with a sound gate

Absolutely phenomenal pedal for the price range. Straight out of the box with just some minor fiddling it sounds absolutely huge. Decent range siatortion too, not fizzy or weak (unless that's the tone you're going for in which case I'm sure you could dial that in). The built in noise gate is VERY good too. Only minor downside is there's no way to power it with a 9 volt only with an external power supply.Other than that yo can't go wrong for the price. Feels like a decent enough build quality too, butlet's see how durable it is after a few months.

Just a sound I was looking for

Si no tuviera un ecualizador paramétrico, un buen preamp de Rack y un compresor FET de Rack estaría decepcionado de la compra y pensando en cambiar pastillas (pickups). Un momento de ajuste y calibración entre el pedal, el EQ, el preamp y el compresor y logré un sonido de Iron Maiden a algo un poco más tosco con mi Les Paul LPJ Aniversario con pastillas zebra. Quizás con una configuración de guitarra activa logras un sonido aún más denso, para lo que produzco es el sonido perfecto y doy gracias por centrar el sonido sin tanto harsh y ruido. El gate funciona siempre y cuando tu configuración de EQ sea buena.

Me gustó mucho el sonido que le da a mi guitarra y a mi bajo La perilla del noise gate funciona bien, no es la mejor pero si no tienes un pedal dedicado para ello, es una solución a ese rudio de la distorsión.

Im a metal guitarist and i have been experimenting with different distortion/overdrive peddle the last few years, this one caught my eye and I have to say im so glad I took the chance with the JOYO CHOPPER - Z PEDAL and brought it to try, its so easy to use and get the tone your wanting from it. The noise gate works amazingly (considering one of my guitars have overly squealy pickups in it at the moment) i had 0 issues with the, no squeals from it like I got with other pedals, the cab sim on it i have set to power amp and its insane. Id highly recommend people take a chance with this pedal, ill definitely be getting more from this company
