## Description

desertcart.com: JOYO Distortion Effect Pedal Modern Metal Tone High Gain Amp Simulators All-in-one Pedal with 3 Band EQ for Electric Guitar (CHOPPER-Z R-18) : Everything Else

Review: Incredible performance - Incredible tone and sound for such an affordable price.
Review: Pretty sweet! - Sounds great regardless. The price point makes it that much better. My favorite way of using it is a preamp into a power amp effects loop. The gate makes a huge difference. The one caveat is that it is amazing with active pickups for different metal genres, but the gate interferes with my SG. I try to use the guitars volume knobs to dial in output levels and the gate catches a lot of the signal and kills the sound or let's in too much and everything gets really noisy. In short for metal, it will be great. Anything more nuanced provide challenges.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible performance

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chopper Z = Apex Preamp/Peavey Invective
*by B***R on December 1, 2023*

This is Joyo's take on the Horizon Devices Apex Preamp. I personally think the Apex Preamp sounds like a channel from the Peavey Invective and the Chopper Z does so as well but better. The Chopper Z acts as both a distortion and a preamp and can be changed by a nob. This is nice as you don't have to do any EQ tweaks when going between the two unlike the Apex. The gate is very handy and the tone covers a lot of territory in terms of high gain. Its a little bass heavy when everything is at noon but if you cut that bass down and bump the treble a bit, you can get some very nice sounds. I have used this with 6 string guitars in standard tuning all the way to 8 strings with dropped tunings and it sounds good with whatever I throw at it. My only con is the cab sim but for what you get it's a amazing pedal. This is a great pedal for the value and wish something like this was around when I started playing.
