The JOYO R-13 is an octave pedal.
JOYO Technology is a Shenzhen music-gear company whose range goes well beyond stompboxes. Its official catalogue covers guitar and bass amplifiers, acoustic and busking amps, effects, power supplies, interfaces, wireless systems and accessories. JOYO also says it develops acoustic-core technology and has applied for utility patents. JustPedals listings include the JF-21 Splinter distortion and JF-319 Green Legend overdrive, alongside mini amps and power adapters. That breadth matters when comparing products under the JOYO name: some are effects, while others support the rest of a guitar or bass rig.
An octave effect generates notes one or more octaves above or below the input. Analogue circuits often create raw monophonic sub-octaves, while digital pitch tracking can follow chords and provide several intervals with cleaner separation. Tracking speed, polyphonic accuracy, latency and the balance of dry, upper and lower voices determine whether the result feels tight, organ-like, synthetic or deliberately unstable.
