Another Joyo American Sound fan is born

[Leonardocoate]

There seems to be a lot of love for these pedals so i though I would try one. Now I get it!!!! I plugged it into the return on a Rumble 60 and into a small power amp that I made. LOL! the best pedal I own is also the least expensive. I will try recording with it soon and maybe down the road I will get the AC Tone...I'm a believer. I cannot say it sounds like a 57 Deluxe Fender amp (cause I don't have one) but it sounds very good.

It is the only Joyo pedal I still have and plan to keep, everything it does is usable and it just sounds great

I use it straight into the PA for smaller gigs, like farmers markets. Sounds great and I can carry all my stuff in one trip.

The ACtone will be my next purchase. I am also curious about the Aquarious, Vision and Sweet Honey. Do you have any experience with those?

I have the Vision, and I like it. My only complaint so far is that it is very hard to read the labels.

Love them JOYO pedals. One thing I like is that their rugged metal cases usually have input/output jacks and 9v power jacks in the same place, which makes organizing a pedal board quite nice.

Sorry, I do not.

I have the Joyo American Sound ( years now)
-the AC-TONE ( note: which I actually bought out of curiosity, just to hear if it actually sounded differently from the AS, at the same exact knob settings. It does and also sounds great)

- I have the Sweet Honey also- it is very nice, and like the AS, and AC-Tone has a 'friendly taper on the knobs- so you can dial in a nice, slightly dirty boost - it's a good 'waker-uper to just leave ON , or kick ON for a boost

All 3 are great tools for shaping a good tone w/o getting a headache.

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback...I'm going to make a Joyo pedal board

JOYOS are nice values - sound good, decent build

I'm in an ( occasional) '70's Soul, Funk Band project, and I play sitting down ( bad back- aging!)
So for this project, I got a JOYO Mini Wah/Volume pedal that I can work sitting down because it is 1/2 size, and more comfy- and cheap!

They are made well. I had a Pre Amp House and a Cab Box that where nice pedals but where just too much of a "swiss army knife". For me, less is more. I have never used a wah but I am open to it. Sweet Honey, Phaser and delay will come next. I'll consider the wah, not exactly sure how to use it but I know how they sound

I personally am not ( never was) a wah-wah blues wailer, and I'm a blues player, about 1000 different ways! ( everything I play seems to come from the blues)
But the 'screaming blues wah!' was just never my thing- too loud and powerful for me.
But I like it for rhythm guitar & riffs ( in the right spots) on '70's R&B and funk- an occasional wah lead break...

Curious ~ your 4 Joyo amp in a box pedals. Is it possible to dial-in settings that'd result in all the pedals sounding pretty much the same?

 

[donnyrocker]

The Tech 21 Sansamp Character pedals, upon which these Joyo amp pedals are modeled (“borrowed” might be a polite word, since the enclosure size and controls are identical), are sonically superior.

I have the American, but not its Tech 21 reference (Blond), as a “just in case” curiosity. I do have the Tech 21 Liverpool and once A/B’d it against a Joyo ACtone: the Joyo was a serviceable approximation of an AC 30 while the Liverpool sounds amazingly close to the real deal. (I also have Tech 21’s British Character pedal, which sounds great but doesn’t nail the Marshall in a Box as well as the Liverpool’s Vox in a Box). I’ve gigged the Liverpool and it’s 2-channel variant, the Mop Top*, so I find the concept to be solid.

The American has a warmth—not exactly a “blanket over the speakers, more like a cardigan sweater—that I can’t dial out. It’s good enough, perhaps, but YMMV.

*If the Mop Top had a built-in tuner like the RK5 Fly Rig, I probably wouldn’t be using a Tone Master Pro for gigs…

The Marshall copy is phenomenal as well. I bought the Joyo Chinese copy and then the original (Tech 21). Both are excellent, but the original Tech 21 sounds better.

Nope, each one is a solid pedal and they each stand alone. No overlap from what I've heard from the 4 I have: American, AC Tone, British, and American.

I have the Joyo British Sound and it is fantastic!
