Description
AMERICAN & BRITISH VOICING VIA BIAS KNOB: The UZI's unique Bias control lets you seamlessly shift between tight, modern American high-gain tones and rich, mid-forward British crunch—or blend the two for your own signature voice. From tight, percussive metal riffs to harmonically rich hard rock leads, this pedal covers the full spectrum of aggressive rock and metal.
HIGH-GAIN DISTORTION WITH DYNAMIC BALANCE: The Gain and Volume controls feature dynamic balance technology—as you adjust the Gain, the circuit automatically compensates to maintain consistent output volume. Crank the gain for searing, saturated lead tones without sudden volume spikes, or dial it back for a punchy, amp-like crunch that stays tight and defined.
3-BAND EQ & ACTIVE TONE STACK: The highly tweakable Low, Mid, and High EQ controls deliver a musical, responsive tone stack that lets you shape everything from scooped modern metal to mid-forward classic rock. Players describe the EQ as "really well done, adding frequencies where you would want them"—making it easy to dial in the perfect tone for any amp or pickup configuration.
AMBIENT LED LIGHTING & ROAD-READY DESIGN: The iconic ambient LED lights on the front and rear edges bring a futuristic edge to your pedalboard. With 3 modes (Sync, Always On, or Off) adjustable via a recessed switch, you can customize your look for any setting. Encased in a rugged aluminum alloy chassis (109×67×48mm, 248g), the UZI is built to last.
JOYO QUALITY & AFTER-SALES CONFIDENCE: Backed by JOYO's decade-plus reputation for crafting innovative, budget-friendly gear. For the cleanest sound and to minimize any switch pop, we strongly recommend a regulated 9V DC power supply (center negative, not included); note this pedal does not have a battery compartment. Should any issues arise, our dedicated support team is ready to assist through your Amazon order page.

Common questions about buying open-box and refurbished.
Why buy refurbished or open-box?
Refurbished and open-box products offer the same performance as new at a fraction of the price. You're already saving $14 on this listing. They've been inspected, tested, and are ready to use — the only difference is the price tag. Buying refurbished also reduces electronic waste, extending product life cycles and keeping functional devices out of landfills.
What's the difference between open-box and refurbished?
Open-box products are customer returns that have been inspected and confirmed functional. They may show little to no use — often the item was returned simply because the buyer changed their mind. Refurbished products have been professionally repaired or restored by technicians, tested to meet or exceed manufacturer specifications, and sometimes come with a warranty. Both are a smart alternative to buying new.
Why use OpenBoxFox?
Finding refurbished deals is time-consuming — you'd have to check Amazon Warehouse, Reebelo, Dyson Outlet, and others separately for JOYO products. OpenBoxFox aggregates these listings in one place, so you can compare and find the best deal without the legwork. We update pricing daily so you always see current availability and real savings.
Is it safe to buy refurbished?
Yes. Products listed on OpenBoxFox come from established retailers like Amazon, Reebelo, and Dyson — not unknown third-party sellers. Each retailer has buyer protection policies, return windows, and in some cases warranties. You get the price advantage of used goods with the purchase security of a known retailer.
