The JOYO Classic Chorus, model JF-05, is a chorus pedal made by Joyo. A chorus pedal layers a slightly delayed and pitch-modulated copy of your guitar signal with the original, giving a thicker, shimmering sound, and the JF-05 is Joyo's take on that effect in a small, budget-friendly stompbox format1.
Joyo describes the sound as "Crisp and transparent chorus, great for a little embellishment. Full bodied 12-string sounds and deep clear bell like tone."1
What it does
The JF-05 adds a chorus effect to your signal, and the maker positions it toward subtle use: light embellishment rather than heavy modulation. Joyo also points to two specific uses, fattening a standard electric guitar into something like a 12-string, and producing a clear, bell-like tone1.
"Crisp and transparent chorus, great for a little embellishment. Full bodied 12-string sounds and deep clear bell like tone."
Players comparing Joyo chorus pedals can also look at the Joyo JF-37 Analog Chorus, the Joyo JF-316 Future Chorus, and the Joyo Narcissus, which covers other takes on the same effect from the same maker.
