Creative power with deeper effects

The JX-08 features 17 powerful effects, from classic chorus and phaser to gritty distortion, fuzz, and a brand-new lo-fi compressor. Filters, pitch shifters, and bitcrusher add even more depth and dimension to your sound.

Move your music. Capture the moment.

Connect, integrate, and take control

With a USB-C audio/MIDI interface, full-size MIDI I/O, and external clock input, the JX-08 fits seamlessly into any studio or live setup. Sync with your DAW, connect to hardware synths or drive a Eurorack system – the possibilities are endless.

Ready for the road and the stage

Designed for portability, the JX-08 is compact enough for the studio or the stage. It runs on AA batteries and includes a built-in speaker for jamming anywhere. Add a DK-01 dock for a polished setup, or pair it with a K-25m keyboard for a full portable synth experience.
