    This was just released so if some of the links to the unit don't show up right away check back in a day or two. This is similar to the Joyo Jam Buddy but it is different. I talk about that at the end. 😀

      Brilliant description of this amp mate, really don’t know where the designers head was at with this one when they designed it cos I really can’t see many people thinking it looks cool and wanting to buy one, suppose I might be wrong and it’s only my opinion. Shame really cos I have the Caline Pure Sky, Orange Burst, Mellow Drive and Medusa pedals and can’t fault any of them for the quality of the effect tones, they all sound excellent for such low cost pedals.

    Just got the bass version of the Lorcan. Still playing with it. The speakers are weak for bass, but signal processing wise the amp does well for both guitar or bass. Will be doing a video soon!

    Okay, after seeing the 9V aux power, I’m on board. You don’t need a stack of 4x10 for a home studio. I’ve been getting good tones mic up smaller speakers, or even direct in with a cab sim. The desktop form factor of this unit makes it seem like a very serviceable tool for a studio.

  • @zd351
    @zd351 2 года назад +2

    Looks and sounds good. I think the biggest advantage for the Joyo is the footswitches and Bluetooth. Depending on what you are playing, switching channels by hand mid -strum might be impractical.
    The pedal power jacks are cool, but for me, this is a portable quick option. Do I need pedals? If I do, there's already power cables running from the Lorcan to the pedals,plus the signal path cables between pedals. It's getting to be a "rig" at that point and I might be better off with a bigger amp anyway.
    I use the Jam Buddy, for the times I can chuck it in the front pocket of the gig bag and only have to worry about the one cable to the guitar.
    I'll give the nod to the Joyo for now, but I'm still interested in seeing a shoot out video.

    Yeah, not bad overall! Clean channel sounded pretty decent with the internal speaker but when you went to the OD channel, it just sounded like you were playing thru a transistor, AM radio! Ext drive pedals sounded better tho!
    Line out use did sound the BEST overall, on both channels! DOES that line out HAVE a speaker IR built into it? (Or did you ADD 1 in your DAW at the end of the chain? It sounded like it HAD a speaker on the line out! )

    How does the volume compare to a Roland micro cube? It feels like a LOT of your volume is from your recording rig. It would be great to have a more representative volume. If it sounds like your recording, it's great volume.

    It definitely does have Bluetooth, they all do. The Lekato CA100 is identical and advertises the Bluetooth as a key feature. The Lorcan is the same unit and also has Bluetooth so not sure why reviewer specifically pointed out it doesn’t, when it does?

    • @intheblues
      @intheblues  2 года назад

      The clean isn't clipping. I mentioned that in the review. It's the speaker. I recorded at -10db. It's not my recording. It doesn't do it on the distortion channel or with pedals (louder) on the clean channel.

      @@bemorecheetah THat video definitely sounds worse than here, so I can believe it is room capture (as they say they use a Tascam DR-05). In that Vid, it sounded, imho much worse than the Spark Mini. So, imho there are better home, practice amps for lowest volume play than this. Though it has one advantage, it COULD be on a small pedal board. But for that use case, I can think of several better sounding options. And if it is anywhere north of 100 USD, then its a big pass.
