Joyo PXL-8

The Joyo PXL-8 is an 8 Group FX Loop programmable switcher made by Joyo. It is not an effects unit itself: it sits between your guitar and your amp and switches groups of your own pedals in and out, so a whole chain can be brought in or taken out with a single press instead of stepping on each pedal in turn¹.

What it does

A loop switcher like the PXL-8 connects your pedals into separate loops. You program which loops are active in each of its groups, then recall any combination instantly. This keeps effects that are bypassed out of the signal path entirely, rather than leaving them in line with their own buffers and tone loss, and it removes the need to reach several pedals at once mid-song.

Joyo builds the PXL-8 around a TAKAMISAWA miniature signal relay, the component that does the actual audio switching¹.

The PXL-8 is one of a family of programmable pedal controllers from Joyo. RockBoard's PedalPedia lists it alongside the PXL-4, PXL-Live and PXL-Pro, so a player comparing options can look across the range for the size and feature set that fits their board². It belongs to the broader category of switching pedals, which covers loop switchers and other routing tools, and sits apart from multi-effects pedals such as the JOYO GEM BOX or TC-1 Tonechain, which generate their own effects rather than switching yours.
