## Description

Product description JOYO XVI Polyphonic Octave Effect Pedal (R-13), directly provided by manufacturer of JOYO Technology, with over decade of brand reputation, we will provide the best ever excellent A-S- Service , much better than any other distributors. SOME TIPS * Before you test the pedal or before playing, make sure the guitar is fully connected with the pedal; * More importantly, you need to make sure it meets the working current requirement of each single pedal. * In order to make JOYO pedals work properly, avoiding unexpected noise caused by power supply, we recommend that you purchase a JOYO original power adapter, or choose other reliable brands. Everyone loves a good octave, until now we have had our XVI monophonic pedal which allowed 2 octaves down, both add some meat to any solo, or to make a big riff sound even bigger. However, while often sounding awesome in the right context, the monophonic analog octave effects are only good for single monophonic notes. Sometimes something more than the monophonic octave is needed, this is where the JOYO XVI polyphonic pedal comes into full force, the pitch and modulated effects will allow anything from dry pitch shifting, sub down or up high and introducing the Modulation control to create some impressive polyphonic organ sounds. JOYO XVI Polyphonic Octave Guitar Effect Pedal MOD Control The pedals Mod control is the thing you twiddle to get the big room filling organ tones, mixing the octave up and down to create some really fat sounding choir effect. Add a little tremolo, delay or reverb and you have a cool fake organ that will sound like a sweeping synth. Playing around with this pedal will take your guitar from its clean tone to another dimension, people will wonder where the synth is hidden. Octave Control The pedal features controls for mixing Sub Octave Control, Up Octave Control to adjust pitch. Dry control increases the input dry volume.Modulation Control to unleash the organ tones. Ambience Light control Ambience LED light on the front and rear sides of the unit, can be set in one of two ways: You can either set the lights to be on all the time or it can come on when the pedal is engaged. The setting is via a sunken switch on the underside of it, so you can have it set up how you prefer. Features Exquisitely designed MOD effects. Pitch shifting and modulated control. Independent Octave-up/down adjusting. True bypass design minimizes tone loss. 3 modes of stylish ambience LED light. Iconic R series ambience LED light. Rugged Aluminum Alloy Casing. JOYO XVI polyphonic guitar effect pedal is part of the R Series of effects, all feature metal housed stompbox. The amount of functionality in this new pedal from JOYO is made to fatten up your tone, add some rich texture and introduce some polyphonic goodness. Ambient LED light control switch SYNC mode: the LED light illumines when the foot switch is turned on, otherwise the it will go out. ALWAYS mode: the LED light is always on. OFF mode: the LED light is off. Specifications

Review: Sounds Great at a Great Price - Love this pedal it sounds great. Well made and easy to get really cool sounds out of it. The only thing I don't like is you can't read the function easily because of the color they used. Other than that great pedal for the price just like all the Joyo pedals I've bought so far.
Review: Nice! - As good as Pedals costing twice as much, really a bargain, A couple of tips to get that The Black Keys, Jack White, Annie Clark sound. place the Octave Effect Pedal in front of a Fuzz pedal, use the neck pickup and slightly drop your guitar volume, really solid sound!, only small gripe is polyphonic tracking is not as accurate as I would like, and I would like to see better looking knobs, but you will need to spend 3 times as much for a better Octave Pedal, this is worth every penny, plus the LED lighting effect is pretty cool.

## Features

- POLYPHONIC OCTAVE WITH INDEPENDENT SUB & UPPER CONTROLS: The XVI delivers rich polyphonic octave tracking—capable of handling chords and multi-note passages—with fully independent SUB (low octave) and UPPER (high octave) volume knobs. Blend in a thick, rumbling sub-octave for massive low-end weight, add a shimmery upper-octave for soaring harmonic sparkle, or mix both with your dry signal for expansive, organ-like textures. Players describe the tracking as "extremely impressive" and the tonal range as going "from subtle harmonizing octaves to thick, soupy domination."
- MOD MODULATION EFFECTS — BUILT-IN PHASER/VIBRATO TEXTURES: Unlike most octave pedals at this price, the XVI features a dedicated MOD (Modulation) control that adds a lush phaser/vibrato-style warble to your octave signal. Dial in subtle movement for depth and dimension, or crank it to unleash huge, room-filling pipe organ tones that players describe as "monstrous" when paired with fuzz. The modulation affects only the octave voices—your dry signal stays untouched for maximum clarity.
- DRY BLEND & 4-KNOB CONTROL — TOTAL TONAL FLEXIBILITY: Four intuitive controls put complete sonic command at your feet. The DRY knob adjusts your unprocessed guitar signal, SUB controls the low octave volume, UPPER sets the high octave level, and MOD dials in modulation intensity. This flexible control layout lets you craft everything from a subtle bass undertone to a full-blown synthetic orchestra.
- TRUE BYPASS & ROAD-READY R SERIES DESIGN: True bypass switching preserves your guitar's natural tone when the pedal is disengaged—zero tone coloration and zero signal degradation. Encased in a rugged "tank-like" aluminum alloy chassis (109×67×48mm, 248g), the XVI features the iconic R Series ambient LED lighting with 3 modes (Sync, Always On, or Off) via a recessed switch on the underside.
- JOYO QUALITY & AFTER-SALES CONFIDENCE: Backed by JOYO's decade-plus reputation for crafting innovative, budget-friendly gear. Important: Powered by 9V DC adapter only (center negative, not included). Rated current: 90mA. No battery compartment. For the cleanest sound, use a regulated, isolated 9V power supply. Should any issues arise, our dedicated support team is ready to assist through your desertcart order page.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds Great at a Great Price
*by P***R on April 22, 2026*

Love this pedal it sounds great. Well made and easy to get really cool sounds out of it. The only thing I don't like is you can't read the function easily because of the color they used. Other than that great pedal for the price just like all the Joyo pedals I've bought so far.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice!
*by L***. on October 23, 2020*

As good as Pedals costing twice as much, really a bargain, A couple of tips to get that The Black Keys, Jack White, Annie Clark sound. place the Octave Effect Pedal in front of a Fuzz pedal, use the neck pickup and slightly drop your guitar volume, really solid sound!, only small gripe is polyphonic tracking is not as accurate as I would like, and I would like to see better looking knobs, but you will need to spend 3 times as much for a better Octave Pedal, this is worth every penny, plus the LED lighting effect is pretty cool.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pipe Organ at first, then a great way to pair with some fuzz or reverb
*by C***N on October 9, 2020*

When I first plugged the XVI in, I swore it was just a pipe organ sound and that was all I was going to get. Started dialing in more and found it was more fun than that. For my guitar, this has been a great way to add some bass to the room and loop. Turn up the sub and down upper, pull back on the mod and you have some fullness. Flip it and you have some great harmony to riff over some rhythm. I'm far from a technical or skilled player so having an octaver to help me mix up my sound has been great for my creativity. I will have to Try through my bass and see what I can come up with. This is Joyo pedal #5 and #2 of their R series. The design/lights are super fun and I personally enjoy just jamming in the dark and finding new sounds. Solid build and the dials are smooth.
