It was worth every single minute watching your tutorials about the joyo PXL. Everything was well explained and there is no doubts. I leaned a lot today watching your tutorials, in fact I want to keep watching more because I am learning fast and not just learning, I mean understanding the concept for every single function. Thank you very much for these tutorials, there were a blessing for me and I am going to get my gear ready. Side note: you are a funny guy lol. I enjoyed every video. I will be following to keep learning. Thanks

Thank you Henning for this wonderfully helpful video! You convinced me to purchase the JOYO PXL Pro and I couldn't be happier with it!

Absolutely Enjoy all your video's. First and Foremost great job on explaining the PLX 8 Pro. I'm a more hands-on learning type of person and between this video and a notepad and a pen, I feel very confident I can set this board up with no issues at all. I actually watch your video's because you get to the point rather than "TALK" too much. So I have no idea what others are saying about that topic. All I know is you have helped me tremendously and it does not go unappreciated, so THANK YOU. I'm playing through a custom 68 Fender Twin (Silverface). Using it as a clean amp I will run all effects before the amp. I plan on using the PXL 8 as a dual 4loop. With L1-L4 (loops1-4) dirty channels then Loop1 OUT to Volume Pedal then return to loop2 IN, through H1-H4, then loop2 OUT to A/B switcher to my 2-channel 68 custom Fender twin. I will Also be utilizing triggers 1&2 to turn on/off the reverb/tremolo built into the 68 custom. "Viola" the mystical & magical insert cable you spoke off (Thanks so much that really helped a lot). You made it so simple. Dirty Channel (L1-L4) consist of; WamplerTumnus Mini (using as clean boost), Wampler Tumnus Deluxe, Wampler Paisley Drive Deluxe which consist of The Under Dog, and the Paisley Drive. Modulation Channel (H1-H4) consist of; Phase 90, Corona Chorus, Vortex Flanger, Flashback Delay. Coming out of my Audio Technica wireless StompBox are the pedals before the switcher, Wampler Ego Mini Compressor, Wample Db+ W/Buffer, Tube Screamer Mini, Nano Big Muff. Then to Input on the PLX 8. Let me know what you think.

You're a strange,but very knowledgeable dude, w/the best equipment collection I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing both.I got my PXL-Pro (new) for $165 & free shipping on Ebay. Thanks Again!-JB

Okay, around 21-22 minutes, found the trigger info I think I needed to get the triggers working with the external switching jacks on a Mesa Triple Rectifier. Nice work!

I just watch your videos because you’re hilarious and so entertaining. The humour is the best part and so much knowledge. Stay funny please

Note to self: at around 21.00 is when he actually explains things that are useful for me to return to (because I will forget). Aber wirklich! :D

Dude, I should be paying you tuition, I learn a shit ton with you! just bought it to switch my Mark V 25 channels and control my pedals with it. Thanks for taking the time to teach electronic illiterates like me!

Hi EyschPi42, thanks for your informative videos. Have been watching this product on the market for some time and ordered one after watching THIS video which convinced me that this is the pedal switcher for me. Received it last week shipped to Singapore and I am more confident in programming PXL-Pro after watching your video. Got it up and running easily following your instructions. For second loop (since I only have entry level amp), I used the MOEN Buffalo pedal amp simulator with DI which activated the 2nd loop. (I believe a JOYO American/British/ Vox sound pedal should also do the trick.. I will try soon). Many thanks and keep on pumping out those videos ! Love your studio and guitars !

Love your videos, I,m fallin off my chair laughing, but still being informed!!! Your my Hero!

Thanks for helping me figure this thing out. So far so good😃

Hi there. It's very well explained. Thanks. I just have a doubt: the D-Seed Delay is connected to the trigger through the external switch input from this one... can you switch off the delay and still keep the trail/carryover?

nice vid. keep them coming. when you put the looper in to bypass is the signal buffered or straight through?

You have an awesome cave...you are hilarious! Thank you for all your helpful videos...I am getting the Joyo PXL-Pro, in part thanks to you. :)

I bought a Roland GA212 to use w/a GR55. I also bought the foot pedal for it. The amp has 2 FX loops & 4 channels.It sounds so good I use it for everything @ home. Coupled w/the PXL-PRO I have unlimited options & thanks to you it almost all makes sense. Thanks again for you vidoes.-JB

Very funny and fantastic video!!! I was wondering if you could help me understand the trigger function... I have managed to change bank with my dd20 delay but when I change program with the Joyo pxl8 pro it doesn't restore it to the original bank... Am I using the trigger input?

I just stumbled upon this. Excellent tutorial - thank you! In my personal quest for rig problem solving I throw this question/scenario to you: I play a 2 amp live setup. I understand the concept of effects in front and effects in the loop. I would like to integrate a Rocktron Intellipitch into my effects rig, primarily using the pitch-shifting effects. I would loop this into the effects loop of the amps, splitting left and right to each amp, using with the other clean effects. The switcher questions I have are these: Are these two loops in series or are they parallel with each other? If I put the Rocktron in the loop, would you recommend using it like your Carl Martin reverb, or split it to, for example, L5 and L6?

Are you able to plug an amp's effect (tremolo, in my case) into the input channel to control that effect?

Thanks a lot for the explanation man, i wouldn't have been able to set it up without your advice. Just a question though: I have a noise gate (ISP Decimator G-String II) on Loop 2 which is going through the FX Loop of my amp, but it doesn't silence all the noise. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks a lot!

Dude you are a funny guy. The dancing at the end was hysterical Thanks for the laugh - oh and the great tutorial - I have just ordered one so BE PREPARED for an onslaught of questions. Remember to answer all questions quickly and efficiently as that is what you NOT paid for Keep rocking bud

Hey love your channel just recently subscribed. I bought a joyo pxl pro and was lost until i saw this and now programming it it simple!!! I have a question for you. I heard you mention that you solder your own patch cables. I was just wondering what wire you used and where on the internet I can find good instrument cable wire to solder my own and what gauge I should look for thank you for any advice!! And thank you for the video for the pxl pro!!

so with the triggers, if i wanted to use this amp with a hand wired AC30, which has 4 channels but no switching (you have to manually plug in 1/4 cable) could i conceivably run 1 cable from each trigger output on the PXL to each channel input on the ac30 and then select the channel from the channel switcher?

I just ordered one of these, but I have one question. I know you've probably answered this already, but it's the one thing I'm still confused on: I have an EVH 5150 head that has a clean, a crunch, an overdrive channel, and effects loop that are all controlled with the included footswitch. Would all 4 triggers correspond to each of those functions or how would you go about programming that?

Thanks for all of this info! I wonder....If you would want to put all 8 looped pedals through the front of the amp, would you just attach a patch cable from Loop 1 out to Loop 2 in? Then, go out of Loop 2 out into amp. Is this possible? Thanks!

Hello! I just got the pxl pro and indeed it's kind of complicated. I have a question for you based on what you did with your reverb. I have a Friedman BE OD Deluxe, is it possible to control the channels the friedman has with the pxl, or do I need to hit the friedman when I need the different channels. Thanks man!!! Great series of videos!!!

Thank God for this video. The "manual" for this piece of gear isn't really useful at all. You have shown me that yes! I can program a patch that uses one switch to change effects in the amp loop and in front of the amp at the same time! I was worried that I couldn't do this. You are the best.

thanks for the vid. I need help. I have a two channel amp and a 4 channel preamp unit that has midi switching. Currently i run this into my amp's parallel return and use an A/B switch to switch between them and then either the amp's channel switch pedal or the preamp unit's switch pedal. then pedals. will this do all of that?

Hello from Christchurch New Zealand! I have a question about the PXL Pro and the Boss Katana Head. Do you know if you can use the trigger outs to switch channels on the Katana Head? I'm trying to avoid buying the Boss foot switch if I can use my PXL Pro. Any help would be appreciated!

hi, do you still need to use a buffer pedal for this? thanks!

Do you know what the trigger out voltage is? I'm toying with using a trigger out to switch on a clean booster in front of the switcher.

Awesome as usual!

Hi EytschPi42!!! It's me again!!! I have a doubt on the effect chain in the looper. Is there a proper order or can I program to put a compressor after the Od and on another preset before the Od, despite of where the compressor is connected to the looper? I hope I'm not making things to complicate!!! :)

Hey Have you heard of or experienced any issues using these Joyo loopers with MXR pedals? One guy on Amazon is claiming that the buffered bypass on the Joyo unit does not work well with MXR pedals.

Hi there, I just bought a keeley darkside pedal, would it work well in the pxl pro, since it has a fuzz?

Hi Stratoca, I cannot answer to your post for some reason... I don't know how the DD20 works, but if you use the triggers to switch bank UP and Down, then it will be hard to switch to a specific bank since the PXL is sending a trigger signal every time you switch to a specific preset... I don't think you can use that to just to a concrete bank on the DD20.

hello sir, I have a possibly complicated question about the plx pro. I am looking to pick one up if this is possible. I want to use my amps pre amp on certain patches and on other I want to hook up one of the new Mooer micro preamp pedals in the return on the amp which as you know bypasses the amps preamp. is it possible to trigger the micro preamp whilst still having the option to use the amps gain channel as well as having effects in the loop like delay and reverb that can be programmed to either the amp preamp or the Mooer micro preamp? looking to utilize the Mooer black night micro preamp 009. does this make any kind of sense? cheers.

i have a query about this, i play 2 full stacks n i send some fx to both some to each, so what i was thinkn was using the pro in dual 4 mode, but say ex loop 4 send from group 1 into loop 2 return and send the loop outs to each stack, so if i want somthin to go to both i turn 4 on and it sends to both stacks... do you think thatll work?

I've got a question. I own a bugera trirec and a PXL pro. I want the triggers to change the amp channel. I have the triggers set to normally off and momentary. Channel A turns trigger 1 on en Channel B turns trigger 2 on. But when I switch from A to B, trigger 1 is also sending a pulse. When on channel B and I switch to channel A also trigger 2 is sending a pulse. So the joyo is sending 2 signals and the amp won't switch channels. I've discoverd this using a multimeter. Is this a normal thing to do for the joyo? Maybe can you test your own joyo with a multimeter to check this out. I don't know if I have to get a new one or not.

I almost want to skip this video in the series because I am almost certain I'm gonna end up going with the PXL-Live, but these videos have been so full of information that I feel like skipping would be a disservice to the knowledge you've acquired about these switchers.

Are the plugs on the back of the unit so close that pancake cables won't fit?

I came here to learn. But it was nice to also laugh my ass off. Thank you 😂😂🙏🏽

Can you change the polarity of the tuner MUTE? So ONE push muted and TWO pushes audible? Instead of the other way around?

Hi there i have a 7 pin din foot switch connector at back of my amp as u mention we need to custom made . So my question is do i have to make 7 pin in cable to two 1/4 inch jack or one ? And could u send me a link if i can buy online . I am stuck bcoz of this 7 pin cable

If I understood correctly !!! Using a ABY pedal is not an option if you use the FX Loop ???

Hi Stratoca, no, you cannot change the order with the looper, the order is determined by where you connect the pedals. The position is fixed.

I have a black star amp with a five-way foot switch can I use the triggers to set that up with the PX l pro

good afternoon, congratulations on the video. I'm a guitar player from Brazil. can you explain how to use stereo delay using boogie table drive, usansdo delay in pxlpro loop 2 in send boogie table return ?? I have a new delay tc electronic red delay, unfortunately using in mono. how to use a stereo delay? I await your return. thank you so much.

Do the pedals go in a sequence? For example does high#1 got before high#2? Or High#3 got before Low#3?

Hello EytschPi42! I have a Randall RD100 amp head which have a 6-pin din connector for the footswitch. The amp has 3 channels and a boost which can be added to any of the channels. The footswitch have 4 switches: Clean, Gain 1, Gain 2, Boost. Is it possible to solder a cable with 6 pin din connector to four 1/4 inch jacks to control each channel and the boost of my amp with the trigger outs on the PXL PRO?

Informative and fun video as usual! How did you make those beautiful pedalboard cables?

heh, great vid... (subbed) I'm waiting for mine, just ordered it today.

Thanks for the videos. Does the buffer ever seem to mess with some overdrive or fuzz pedals?

Excellent video and very detail! What pedal board is that? I want to buy a pedal board for my joyo pxlpro but im not sure which to buy cause im afraid itd be too short...

you talked about channel and effects switching using triggers, but only talked about footswitches with a proprietary or stereo jacks. Can you get the triggers to work for Channel and Effects on a Fender SuperChamp XD. It uses a mono cable between the footswitch and amp.

G'day Stratoca can you use the trigger outs to run separate amps, i.e wet and dry, thanks for the demo.

can i use more than one? two joyo looper on the same time?

Awesome and highly entertaining video! Had me cracking up lol....I just got one of these and am about to set it up and had a general question about the loop sections 1 and 2...Am I right in assuming that there are ONLY two ways of effectively dividing up your pedals , if you have an amp with an FX loop...1. all 8 into either the front of the amp OR all 8 into the FX loop or 2. 4 into the front of the amp and 4 into the FX loop? In other words , if you have , say , 5 pedals that would be better off in front of the amp and only 3 that would be better off in the FX loop you are basically SOL? :) ...It has to be 4 into one, 4 into the other?

What patch cables are used?

Hey man great vids!… very helpful, (sorry my english, i speak spanish) i have a question cause i need help. i have 2 pedals that have 2 switch (exotic fx BB preamp plus…. Vox Satchurator) just like the Jetter Gold, and i really LOVE the sound i get with these two pedals, but the question is, can i control the 4 switches with the PXL Pro? cause both of those pedals have only 1 output, or i need to be slave to switch to the B sound of those pedals anytime i need them? or just the way you use it? both channels active all the time? can this be done? control 4 channels separately?

Hi, is it possible to use 3 différent amps with it?

i need to know if connected the 2 loops way (distortions to front amp - modulations to amp looper) is still capable of select some effects from looper amp and some effects from front amp... i eman i want certain presets with reverb in amp loop and distortion, wah, etc in front of amp... is possible??? many many many thanks!

Hi, you're the best!! I have a Carvin V3 amp that has 5 din pedal 3 Ch and boost. I just bought the PXL pro, what is your opinion, should I get a " Breakout cable made or return the pro and buy the pro- Live?? The Pro that you are, do would perform with a pedal controller? Thanks JImmy

well if your coffee machine is activated by 1/4" trigger out

Hope you still monitor these video comments. GREAT vids BTW!!!! Thanks! OK, I have the Pro. Easy enough. No issues programming the LOW side. 1 2 3 NP. BUT, I get nothing out of the HI side! Like it's in bi-pass. Just amp sound. I can program it fine, choose pedals, etc. But the pedals have zero effect. SO to verify it's not a pedal or cable issue, I switched 2 pedals using same cables, one from LO over to HI, with one that was in HI. Now the pedal that was in LO does not work. But pedal that was in HI works fine. I'm not using effects loop. So all 8 are in line.

Im wondering if I have the PLX-PRO but im running into an amp with no FX loop, seems like the pedals on the left side (Loop 2) are not working if they are not in an FX loop, am I right?

all cool. 1 stupid question. does the order you click the switch for the preset determine the order they run?so if I click drive 1st then click boost 2nd that's the order they run. or visa versa boost clicked 1st then drive?? obviously that would be handy as I can either use boost pedal for purely volume or run the other way to boost drive pedal. other than that all made perfect sense. thanks

Hey EytschPi! Thank you for your great work!!! I bought the PXL PRO and your video helped me more or less totally fot the setup and answered every question except for one: what do you think, is it possible to trigger a DD-7 or RE-20 by the EXTENSION PEDAL INPUT and control the delay time or even more?

Hello, and sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have a EHX ring thing (with 9 presets) and I was wondering if the PXL Pro would allow me to store different presents of the EHX RT into different presets of the looper ? More generally, how does the PXL Pro handle multi-presets pedals ? Thanks in advance for your answer...

"From a very eXotic company" best guitar gear pun I've ever heard >.

Excellent video. I went from knowing nothing about looper switchers, to... well understanding a lot more! One question (sorry if you brought it up), can I have separate presets where preset A has loops in front of the amp and in the effects loop, while preset B has all 8 pedals in front?

also can you use the trigger outputs to select a completely different amplifier all together, so in essence use the same board on 2 separate amps without having to manually unplug one amp and plug in the other?

Ohh a Shimverb. I have one of those. It's ok. The best Mooer pedals imho are the ElecLady flanger and the Reecho delay.

Can someone PLEASE tell me if I can use 1 pedal for more than 1 trigger? Like if I want my reverb for every trigger or if I want my 1 distortion pedal for more than 1 trigger? Or am I stuck using lets say the distortion, reverb and delay for 1 trigger then I cant use the distortion for any other triggers?

Does this switcher store individual pedal's parameters? For instance, if i want a certain delay functions like time and repeat in first switch and different values of time and repeat in the second switch or do I have to change the functions manually? If not then is there any other switcher which will have these function?

Does anybody know if I can program the PXL Pro to switch a Marshall JVM210H? without going to the midi route

Hi there. I really enjoyed watching all 6 parts of your PXL Looper/Switcher videos. I'd like to get this switcher but first I just need to ask a couple of questions: 1) My amp head is a Hughes & Kettner DualTone with an XLR footswitch input on the back. The footswitch has three switches (overdrive-boost-master). Would I need to have a custom-made cable built with an XLR connector on one end, splitting into 2 mono 1/4" plugs on the other end so that I can plug them into the two trigger inputs of the PXL? Would this be enough to be able to switch to any of the THREE functions? 2) I have a Boss NS2 (which I really like). I keep it on all the time and I run all my dirty pedals through its own send/return loop. Would you suggest putting it in a patch connecting it in the same way (through its S/R loop) or leaving it outside the patch chain, hence independant? I'm really looking forward to your advice and opinion.

Joyo pxl pro can Change channel on Marshal dsl20hr ?

Hey mate, awesome reviews :) I am probably going to buy the Joyo PXL-PRO, but I have a couple of questions. I have Fender Deluxe Reverb ('93) and like almost all Fender Reverbs, it has that dual-footswitch to control Tremolo/Reverb. I don't have the footswitch (I couldn't really justify paying 55€ for it, seeing how my Reverb is almost always on and I didn't really need the tremolo), but buying just an additional cable along with the PXL-PRO seems like a good and budget-friendly solution. Now - could you please tell again what kind of cable would I need for that (I didn't quite understand what you said)? I know it has to be a stereo going into the amp, so one jack has to be 1/4" stereo, but what about the other? Does it divide into 2 jacks and you put each of them in separate trigger inputs? Could you give me a link to a suitable cable (from thomann, for instance)? Also the polarity triggers - what do they do? After a year of using the PXL - is it still working good? I will likely have to buy one through ebay, straight from China, but they only have 6 months warranty and sending products you bought from ebay back to China can be very costly and you likely won't get a refund anyway, from my experience. So I am looking for something that would work for a long time. PS: Subscribed to your channel, keep up with the good work :)

Hi, first thank you for your videos. It helps me a lot. Second I have question about Harley Benton FX8 PRO. Have you ever try it with any fuzz? I have Fuzz face and when it is conected to HB FX8 PRO it gives me some terrible sound. There is some jumping in volume, it seems that it cuts out some tones and so on. If the fuzz is joined directly to a amp, it play well. Is there any incompatibility between switcher and fuzz?

Hey man great video! How would i set the triggers if the amp has 3 channels and I want to get from clean (channel 1) to high overdrive (channel 3)?

Hello ! First of all I really enjoy all the videos you made, they are all fun and very interesting. I'm actually wondering which one of these JOYO product I'll choose... The PXL-8 or the PRO version... I play indie-rock with a bunch of classic pedals (overdrive, fuzz, chorus, delay, reverb...) through a Laney VC15. It does have an effect loop so it may seem logic to chose the PRO but I'd definitely love to have your opinion about it. I don't need that much of banks... Thanks for helping !

I'm an happy possessor of an EVH 5150 iii 50watt and the footswtich for that particular amp has four switch on it channel 1 , 2 , 3, and effects loop on/off. In the video you showed some footswtich but were all with two switches. In my case can i recall with different settings all of the four switches or at least three of them leaving the loop always on ? thank you ;)

If I wanted to have a compressor pedal on the whole time can I connect guitar to in of compressor pedal then out to the joyo? Thanks

A question if I may... if you are using an amp that does not have an fx loop can you use loops 5-8 to run into the front of the amp as well or are they dedicated strictly for an amps fx loop? Also, can you use this to switch between two different amps? Thank you!

Where in the signal chain do i put the Volume pedal if i have one and how would the connection look like?

Thanks dude for the awesome explanation of these different looper pedals. I almost bought the newer PXL-PRO then I saw this video (link below) of guy mentioning of POPING of switches. Does it really POP like this or at least did your demo pedal POPPED like the video? Please demystify...! As always thanks for all the wonderful demos with humor!!! Joyo pxl pro pops - homemade pedalboard

Eytsch, I have a burning question that I can't figure out and I Ned your help. I have a Peavey 3120 head with a 7pin foots witch cable. I can't find any adapters to use to connect my amps channels to the plx8 pro. Do you know if someone makes an adapter or what I could do to make it work? Thanks for all the informative videos.

Can this looper change the volume of a single effect? I'm looking for a device to equalize the volume of the effects, because now I have different ones.

I have a question on joyo pxl live .I have a fender hot rod Deluxe 2017 the pedal switch it came with has a mono cable with 2 switches channel switch and more drive can I control it with pxl live if so how would I do it

Great video! So it is possible to have, lets say 3 pedals in one loop, and switch the pedals themselves on and off when that loop is active?

Nice video again and now with real cables ;-) haha But in one of the builds, you use the joyo noise gate 'suppressor? What do you think about it? I got it and havent tried it in the fx loop, is it better there? Just tried in straight in the amp, because I forget to bring more cables to the rehearsal. And one second question: Can I use this to switch channels on my JVM ? Because it is a 4 channel amp, but every channel have 3 different modes. So with this looper can you switch everything? (even the modes green, orange red, in the different channels clean, crush od1 od2? /Gedz

Usually the compressor goes first! Is there any reason you've got it half way through the chain?

Hey man! just a quick question because i'm confused... In case my amp doesn't have an fx loop can I use all the 8 loops in front of the amp?

Hey, how was connected to carl martin to joyo? I dont understand, how was connected this device?

The trigger and effects loop function have me sold on the Pro. This would stop me from doing the 'turn off chorus, turn on the delay the same time I kick in the clean boost to drive channel 2 with reverb' dance...

Thanks for that. So basically the order you put them in the looper is the order they'll play. Got it. Thanks. Not sure it's worth paying the extra money. Cheaper to just get another booster. One in front of the drive for that extra boost and one at the end for just a volume boost. Thanks for your help dude. Even though you appear like a lunatic you know your stuff. Keep the vids coming.

This is great... Bob Bradshaw was charging tens of thousands of dollars for his similar custom rack switching systems back in the 80's.

Can anyone think of a way that I could combine some of loop 1's effects loops with loop 2's effects loop? Basically, I only have a couple of pedals to go in the amp's effects loop, and I'd like to use loop 2's other send/return units for in front of the amp. There must be some way of doing this. (Hope this comment makes sense)

Hi EytschPi! I have a 2 channel amp, clean/dirty. No reverb or anything else. It has a stereo 1/4 foot switch input. Will I need an insert cable or just a trs to mono cable?

This has not kept up with my growing needs. I have 12 efx boxes. I do NOT own a switcher/programmable device. I'd like one, but allowing for more than 8 loops. After weeding out a few self noisy ones I have about 12 left. Only 6 of my effects have midi. Only six are stereo. The joyo is not the solution for me. If I use some of these in series with the Joyo I am unable to midi control my "external" devices.
