JOYO Maximum R-05 Overdrive Pedal Instruction Manual

1. Introducció

The JOYO Maximum R-05 is a versatile dual-channel overdrive pedal designed for electric guitar. It offers two distinct overdrive tones: a pure and clean drive channel without compression, and a wild boost channel with independent control for extended sustain. This pedal also features two toggle switches for adjusting mid-frequency brightness and selecting between MOSFET and diode clipper circuit clippings. Its robust aluminum alloy casing and unique LED lighting enhance both durability and aesthetic appeal.

2. Informació de seguretat

• Use only a DC 9V (center minus) power adapter. Ensure the adapter meets the pedal's current requirements (30mA).
• Avoid using non-original power adapters to prevent unexpected noise or damage.
• Do not disassemble or modify the pedal.
• Keep the pedal away from water, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
• Netegeu amb un drap sec i suau.

• VOL (volum): Controls the overall output volume of the pedal.
• TO: Adjusts the brightness or darkness of the overdrive tone.
• GUANY: Controls the amount of overdrive/distortion for the Drive channel.
• IMPULS: Controls the amount of boost for the Boost channel.
• DRIVE Footswitch: Activates/deactivates the Drive channel.
• Interruptor de peu BOOST: Activates/deactivates the Boost channel.
• Mid-Frequency Toggle Switch (Left): Adjusts the brightness of the mid-frequency (3 positions: HD.CLIP, FLAT, SMOOTH).
• Circuit Clipping Toggle Switch (Right): Switches between different circuit clippings (MOSFET clipper mode and diode clipper mode).

The left toggle switch adjusts the brightness of the mid-frequency, offering three distinct positions for tonal shaping. The right toggle switch allows you to select between MOSFET clipper mode and diode clipper mode, providing different characteristics of circuit clipping. The true bypass design minimizes tone loss when the pedal is disengaged, ensuring a clean signal path.

5. Configuració

1. Connect your guitar to the 'INPUT' jack on the right side of the pedal.
2. Connect the 'OUTPUT' jack on the left side of the pedal to your amplifier or next pedal in the signal chain.
3. Connect a DC 9V (center minus) power adapter to the DC 9V input.
4. Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin segures abans d'encendre el vostre ampmés viu.

For optimal performance and to avoid unexpected noise, ensure the pedal is fully connected with your guitar and amplifier before playing. It is highly recommended to use a JOYO original power adapter or another reliable brand that meets the DC 9V (center minus) and 30mA current requirements.

6. Accionament del pedal

Dual Channel Overdrive

The R-05 pedal features two distinct overdrive channels:

• Canal de conducció: Provides a pure and clean overdrive tone without compression. Use the GAIN knob to adjust the intensity.
• Boost Channel: Delivers a wild overdrive effect with long sustain. Use the independent BOOST knob to control the level of boost.

Tonal Shaping

Utilize the TONE knob to fine-tune the overall brightness of your sound. Experiment with the two toggle switches to further sculpt your tone:

• The left toggle switch allows you to adjust the mid-frequency brightness, offering three distinct settings.
• The right toggle switch lets you choose between MOSFET and diode clipping modes, each providing a unique overdrive character.
