The Joyo R-05 Maximum is a guitar effect pedal that combines overdrive and boost functionalities, offering a wide range of tones—from subtle signal enhancement to powerful distortion. Part of the Ironman series, it features a robust build and multiple functions that allow guitarists to tailor their sound. Here are the key features:

Main Features:

1. Overdrive Channel: This effect provides warm, dynamic overdrive, usable as both a mild saturation and a more aggressive distortion. The overdrive tone is natural, warm, and suitable for genres like blues, rock, and lighter metal.

2. Boost Channel: A clean, transparent boost that can enhance your signal without altering its character. Ideal for highlighting solos or boosting your overall sound. The boost can be used independently or in combination with the overdrive.

3. Controls and Knobs:

   • GAIN: Adjusts the level of distortion in the signal.
   • TONE: Controls the tone color, allowing for adjustments from dark to bright.
   • VOLUME: Sets the overall output volume.
   • BOOST: Adjusts the level of boost in the Boost mode.

4. Durable Construction: The metal enclosure in a compact format protects the unit from mechanical damage, and a magnetic cover shields the knobs to prevent accidental changes to your settings.

5. True Bypass: Ensures that when the effect is off, the signal passes through without loss, preserving the natural tone.

6. Power: Powered by a standard 9V DC power supply (battery not included).
