Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Joyo British Metal is a distortion pedal from Joyo Audio designed to deliver the tight, aggressive British-inspired high-gain distortion character associated with classic British heavy metal amps, at an accessible price point. The circuit provides powerful saturation with controllable gain, bass, treble, and mid controls for voicing the British metal tone across metal, hard rock, and heavy rhythm applications. Joyo is a Chinese effects manufacturer known for producing effective, affordable pedals at accessible price points.
The Joyo Dark Flame (R-17) is a modern metal high-gain distortion pedal with 3-band EQ and a 3-way toggle switching between three distinct crunchy distortion voicings, drawing comparisons to the Revv G3. It delivers aggressive, high-gain chug tones well suited to heavy riffing, though it isn't voiced for low-to-medium-gain rock or blues tones. The 3-band EQ gives real shaping control over the low, mid, and high content of the distortion. It suits metal players wanting an affordable, aggressive high-gain distortion pedal focused specifically on modern metal chug and lead tones rather than versatile all-purpose drive.
