The Joyo JF-33 Analog Delay is a compact analog delay pedal. Joyo describes its character as a "mild and mellow circuit delay" and positions it as "a favorably priced way to get those great tones"1. If you are comparing it with other options in the maker's delay range, such as the Joyo Analog Delay or the feature-heavy Joyo D-Seed II, the JF-33 sits on the simple side: one effect, a small box, straightforward power needs.
Size, weight and impedance
The JF-33 is a small pedal. Joyo lists it at 118mm long, weighing 200g, a footprint that tucks into a pedalboard without crowding out neighbors1. Its input impedance is 1MΩ and its output impedance is 1KΩ, the usual arrangement for a pedal that sits happily after a guitar and before an amp or further effects1.
Power and bypass
Power comes from either a 6F22 9V battery or a DC 9V adapter, and the pedal draws 40mA while running1. Joyo also specifies a true bypass design, so the circuit drops out of your signal chain when the pedal is off1.
At 40mA, the JF-33 draws more than a battery-only setup may comfortably sustain over long sessions; a DC 9V adapter is the practical choice for regular use. Check the current rating of any shared supply against the 40mA figure1.
Manual
Joyo hosts the JF-33 manual as a PDF on the pedal's product page, with the file dated December 17, 20191.

Questions
Does the JOYO JF-33 take a battery?
Yes. Joyo's product page lists power as a 6F22 9V battery or a DC 9V adapter, so the pedal can run on a standard 9V battery when you do not want to use a power supply.
Is the JOYO JF-33 true bypass?
Yes. Joyo describes the JF-33 as having a true bypass design, meaning the pedal's circuit is taken out of the signal path entirely when the effect is switched off.
How much current does the JOYO JF-33 draw?
Joyo lists the running current at 40mA. That is worth knowing when you plan a power supply or a daisy chain, since it sets how much current the JF-33 needs from a 9V source.
How big is the JOYO JF-33?
Joyo gives the dimensions as 118mm long by 68mm wide by 50mm high, and the weight as 200g. That is a compact footprint that fits easily on a crowded pedalboard.
Where can I find the JOYO JF-33 manual?
Joyo hosts a JF-33 manual as a PDF download on the pedal's own product page on joyoaudio.com. The file on that page is dated December 17, 2019.
