JOYO Modern High-Gain Distortion Guitar Pedal, Analog Circuit with 3-Band EQ & Dark/Bright/OFF Modes, True Bypass (Dark Flame R-17)

MODERN HIGH-GAIN DISTORTION WITH 3 DISTINCT VOICINGS: The Dark Flame delivers tight, percussive modern metal distortion with three selectable voicings via the toggle switch. DARK mode (full-bodied, heavy low-end for crushing rhythm), BRIGHT mode (tight, articulate highs for cutting solos), and OFF mode (balanced, transparent response). Players describe it as having a wide range of usable gain and appreciate its versatility across modern metal genres.

ANALOG CIRCUIT WITH 3-BAND EQ — SCULPT YOUR SIGNATURE METAL TONE: The analog circuit responds with natural tube-like dynamics, while the dedicated Low, Mid, and High EQ knobs give you precise control to sculpt your sound. Crank the Mids for a punchy, cutting lead tone; scoop them for modern metal rhythm crunch; or boost the Highs to add searing clarity to fast solos. For the best results, start with all EQ knobs at 12 o'clock and fine-tune to match your amp.

IDEAL FOR MODERN METAL, DJENT, HARDCORE & BEYOND: From tight, percussive Djent riffs to aggressive Death Metal growl, the Dark Flame handles the full spectrum of modern heavy genres. It plays exceptionally well with other pedals—place an overdrive or boost in front to tighten the low end even further, or run it directly into a clean tube amp for an instant high-gain channel.

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 aluminum alloy, the Dark Flame features the iconic R Series ambient LED lighting with 3 modes (Sync, Always On, or Off) via a recessed switch—futuristic style that's visible even on dark stages.

JOYO QUALITY & AFTER-SALES CONFIDENCE: Backed by JOYO's decade-plus reputation for crafting innovative, budget-friendly gear that punches far above its weight. Important: Powered by 9V DC adapter only (center negative, not included). No battery compartment. For the cleanest sound and to minimize background noise at high gain settings, use a regulated, isolated 9V power supply and avoid daisy-chaining with other pedals.
