The Joyo JF-17 Extreme Metal is a distortion pedal made by Joyo, the Chinese effects maker whose budget pedals are widely used by guitarists building their first pedalboards. As its name suggests, it is aimed at players looking for heavy, high-gain distortion tones in the metal style, sitting alongside other drive pedals in Joyo's JF series such as the Joyo Dr.J Emerald Overdrive1.
Joyo lists the JF-17 Extreme Metal in its product range as a distortion pedal, in the same family as the company's overdrive and boost offerings like the Joyo R-05 Maximum and the Joyo Roll Boost1. For players comparing drive types, it belongs to the distortion category rather than the lighter overdrive or boost categories.
