Joyo PXL-PRO Black — Programmable 8-Loop Pedal Switcher

The Joyo PXL-PRO Black is a programmable loop switcher built for guitarists running more pedals than they have feet. Eight true-bypass effect loops can be split into two independent 4-channel groups, so players can route half the board through an amp effects loop while keeping the other half in front of the amp. The PXL-PRO Black stores up to 16 preset combinations, letting a player recall an entire effect chain with a single tap instead of dancing across the board mid-song. Built around a buffered input/output stage, the unit keeps tone intact across long cable runs and complex patch setups.

What sets the PXL-PRO apart in the loop switcher category

Four assignable trigger outputs are the headline feature: each trigger can be configured for polarity, mode, and action status, including behaviour while the unit is in bypass. That means a single preset can simultaneously engage a fuzz, switch the amp to its dirty channel, and toggle a delay mode. A dedicated tuner interface and an independent mute switch sit on the top panel for fast, silent tuning between songs without breaking the signal chain.

Loop architecture and preset memory

Loop count and preset depth define how complex a rig the switcher can manage. Players running large boards benefit from generous loop counts and deep preset banks.

• Loop Channels: 8 — usable as a single 8-loop chain or split into dual 4-channel groups
• Preset Combinations: 16 — stored combinations survive power-off
• Trigger Outputs: 4 — assignable for amp channel or pedal mode switching

Signal routing, bypass, and connectivity

True bypass on every loop keeps unused pedals out of the signal path, while buffered inputs and outputs preserve high-frequency content over long cable runs. Standard 1/4" jacks cover the entire patch bay.

• Bypass Type: True Bypass on each loop — minimal tone loss when a loop is off
• Inputs: 1 x 1/4" instrument input, 8 x 1/4" FX Return — one main in plus eight loop returns
• Outputs: 1 x 1/4" main output, 8 x 1/4" FX Send, 1 x Tuner output — main out plus eight loop sends and a dedicated tuner feed

Power requirements and physical footprint

The switcher runs on a standard 9V DC supply but draws more current than a typical pedal, so the power supply section of a pedalboard needs to accommodate it. The chassis is wide enough to span the back of a multi-pedal rig.

• Power: 9V DC, 500 mA — wall-wart adapter not included
• Dimensions: 54.1 cm (W) x 6.7 cm (D) x 5.3 cm (H) — wide, low-profile chassis
• Weight: 1.68 kg — solid enough to stay put underfoot
