JOYO R-26 MONOMYTH

The JOYO R-26 MONOMYTH is a bass preamp pedal, a pedal that shapes and conditions a bass signal before it reaches a power amp, recording interface or PA. JOYO describes it as a bass preamp with multiple tone-sculpting options, combining EQ, cabinet simulation and drive in a single unit¹. It sits in the maker's bass line alongside pedals such as the Joyo Tidal Wave Preamp and the JOYO R-27 SCYLLA compressor.

What it does

The MONOMYTH gathers the core functions of a bass rig into one pedal. JOYO describes it as "a BASS PREAMP pedal with multiple tone-sculpting options"¹. Its feature set, as the maker lists it:

• A 6-band graphic EQ, which gives six fixed frequency bands to cut or boost, a common way to dial in a bass tone across lows, mids and highs
• Lifelike cabinet simulation, so the pedal can feed a direct signal to a mixer or interface with a speaker-like tone
• An independent overdrive channel, separate from the main preamp path
• A treble boost switch

The overdrive channel being independent means the drive section can be switched in and out without disturbing the EQ and cab sim settings, so the pedal can serve as both a clean preamp and a drive pedal on a bass pedalboard. For players comparing it with other bass preamps, it shares ground with the Joyo Tidal Wave Preamp, and its overdrive channel covers ground that would otherwise need a separate pedal like the Joyo Dr.J Soloman Bass Overdrive¹.

JOYO describes the R-26 MONOMYTH as a bass preamp pedal with multiple tone-sculpting options, and lists among its features a 6-band graphic EQ, lifelike cab sim tone, an independent overdrive channel, and a treble boost switch¹.
