The Joyo Dr.J BLADEMASTER (model number D58 BLADEMASTER) is a distortion pedal from Joyo's Dr.J Series. It is aimed at players who want a high-gain metal sound, with tone shaping handled by a 3-band EQ and a "Wow Clip" switch1.
What it does
According to Joyo's manual, the pedal's 3-band EQ and "Wow Clip" switch provide versatile tone shaping for both aggressive riffs and soaring metal solos1. In practice, that means you can dial in the low, mid and high frequencies to sit with your amp, and use the Wow Clip switch to change the character of the clipped, distorted signal.
The BLADEMASTER sits in Joyo's Dr.J Series alongside other drive pedals such as the Joyo Dr.J Lancelot Distortion and the Joyo Dr.J Arsenal. Players comparing it with other high-gain options from the brand can also look at the Joyo R-17 Dark Flame, which likewise pairs high gain with a three-band EQ1.
