    People can pay $400 for the Strymon Iridium and that’s fine. This Joyo sounds very good. I’ve been using it live for a year and it does a great job going direct to PA.

    Still one of the best (cheap) hidden gems on my pedal board. The tone shaping on this is unbelievable. It literally makes every amp sound better!!! Also, so many amps have low end that you can't pull out from the built in EQ. THIS THING WILL PULL OUT ALL AVAILABLE LOW END!!!

      @@thenewmedic In Venezuela is too difficult to find valves, vacum tubes, thats why I was forced to buy a used solid state amplifier, a fender deluxe 112 plus for 80 dollars, as its drive channel is not to my liking (although it is for many users) I bought an American joyo used for 25 dollars and I use it near to crunch through the effects loop, before the delay, I use the original reverb of the amp, also a z-vex box of rock for louder sounds and its clean booster for solos. the american sound solved my sound because it receives the z-vex well.

    This is the best compliment I can come up with: "The song & music took over and stole the video!" I've got both of those pedals and enjoy finding videos showing them in action, but when you got to playing the whole song I completely forgot about the pedal and was drawn into music. I don't think a lot of RUclips gear reviewers could play a whole song if their lives depended on it, most rip out a few 15 second flashy licks trying to impress and act cool, which is okay I guess. This was on a totally different level to anything I've seen in this area. Thank you for the great performance, music and song! Oh .............. and demonstration of the pedal :-0 Great work!

    For a low volume bedroom rocker (blues, classic rock, clean to moderate OD) like me, the Joyo American is the $40 solution to the Fender Tonemaster amps. This pedal, fed into various voices on a Vox Cambridge 50, gives great richness and fullness to the Vox Deluxe twin setting, the AC30 top boost and the Brit 1959 setting. My two cents. These combinations give you a 'hybrid', highly tweakable amp sound, and some credible grit at bedroom sound levels. Great pedal!

  • @danfango1333
    @danfango1333 4 года назад +4

    I have 2 of these . Stereo outs from my pedalboard, Into the Americans, into a Presonous audiobox. Couldn't be happier with my recorded sound. And these pedals are a giveaway. No money. For recording bass I do the same thing with a TC Spectradrive. 4 band EQ and compressor.
    In either case I'm confident DI into a good PA would sound good. I love a good amp, but these pedals are so good that you could do without it!

    I have to be clear that I had no issues with the functionality of the pedal, this was not the sound I was looking for. Fender Bassman, dumble amp nope.
    But it just took you into that American sound scape that so many pedals miss.
    It's not bassman or dumble but it's still a great pedal.

    I've seen many pedal demos: some awful, occasionally some very well thought out. I have to say that what you have given us here is absolutely the best and most informative pedal review I've ever seen. And also a pleasurable tune listening experience. As you're recording direct to your DAW and perhaps adding in some CAB IRs, the only difference between what you are demoing and what I can do with my own American Sound pedal and similar guitars is your excellent playing :)
    I came here as I've been looking for some YT videos which might help persuade me to give the Strymon Iridium a shot in order to improve on the equipment I already use (specifically the Joyo AS and AcTone). I honestly don't think the $435 euros it would cost me would be worth it. Thanks a lot. Subscribed!

  • @fretman1087
    @fretman1087 5 лет назад +1

    I've had the American for a while now, my buddy has the British. Great inexpensive pedals for certain situations. When we use them, we go directly from our pedal board going directly into a power mixer, then into the house PA system for example. One could get spoiled real quick not having to carry gig amps all over town. Of course, like anything else, there's always trade offs to take into consideration. Not the ultimate solution, but the best 'BUDGET' one when options are limited.

    One thing that I've found separates these from their 'inspiration' (The Tech-21 character series) is these need to go into an amp. They work great in front of modelled amps, like a multi-fx unit too.
    The Tech-21 series sounded great DI'd without anything else. Plus you could turn off the speaker simulator.
    Great bang for the buck though!

But when I saw this. It reminded me of one day I'll now be able to play it all. Keys Drums and guitar and bass should be no issue. I hope to one day produce my own album. To leave behind. Something different but a concept musical atmospheric blues like similar to marrooned. But with a bit more intricate drum technique. I know I'll over do the drums. Hahahah. Peace man. Thoroughly enjoyed.

    I have all of the Joyo pedals. IMO if you pair them with a good cab simulator the sound is just incredible. I use them the DigiTech Cab Dryvr. My favorite for Strat is the British Sound (think Plexi, JCM800) but that one defenetly needs a cabsim, but the touch sensitivity is unreal. The American is second. I found out that the California sound really really good for direct recording for bass. I did try some more expansive digital options but IMO the digital one are not that responsive. Just my $0.02.

    Great review, excellent format, ok, sold, on this gadget, do I need, nope got a boss katana 100 and a Marshall, but I bought a Vox MV50, to give to my son, through an old 2x12, its OK, they missed a trick with them, but put a nux plexi in front and wow! I think this pedal might do the same, for a Fender Sound and not much money.

    Nice sound and production, I could not tell it was modelled without really concentrating, and this is something the average Joe just doesn't do when listening to music

    with a pedal review like this, what are we gonna we do wit so many other reviewers who just re-hash the same old licks
    but then, the pedal is the tool, the master is at work with the tool
    Rock On!
