01Joyo Extreme Metal
Set amp gain to 0 and use pedal as primary distortion source. The Joyo Extreme Metal is voiced for scooped modern metal—pull back the Dist to 5 and boost Low sparingly to approximate the tighter Orange-style midrange punch. This pedal is gainier than ideal for pop-punk; keep Dist conservative.
The Frontman 10G lacks a mid control and has a bright, thin voicing vs the warm, mid-heavy Orange amps on the original. Compensate by rolling treble back slightly from max and cutting bass to prevent mud through the small 6" speaker. The Joyo Extreme Metal is far more aggressive than the Dirty Little Secret boost used on the record—set Dist at 5 (not maxed) to avoid fizzy modern metal territory and keep the pop-punk articulation.
