I’m 58. It’s amazing how technology has created a pedal that sounds so much like an amp, that I would use it through the p.a. and leave my amp at home. You could never get a good direct tone 20 years ago. I just got the American sound a few days ago. I love it.
Been using this on a small marshall ms2 amp that takes 9v batteries. When the pedal is set to give clean tones, it's much nicer, cleaner and less distorted than what the amp sounds clean without any pedals and is just guitar to amp.
@BudgetPedalChap indeed it does. I also have a vox ac30 amplug with audio technica headphones. So what I did is plug the amplug on clean no effects, straight into the ac tone pedal and played around with the pedals knobs until I got the exact same tone as with bypass inactivated, so it is just like the amplug itself on clean. I've even took a picture of the pedal so I can put it like that again if I want and I no doubt I will because now the pedal is set up like that when I now use it in the little marshall ms2 practice amp it sounds great.
Adding the cab IR, it really brings up the midrange. I wonder if you could accomplish that by bringing up the mid and high knobs some...or adding a 10 band EQ pedal?
Yeah, it can go at the front end of your amp and it almost acts like a very specific EQ and drive pedal which gives a Vox voice to your fender amp. You could place it in the FX loop and it'll make that effect even stronger or you can run it direct into a PA or interface to get a vox tone with no amp required. Hope this helps 👍
Do you record that with a mic? I guess this Joyo amp pedals have built in cab sim. What do you think of running this through an amp and a speaker like an overdrive pedal?
This was recorded into an amp model on the hx stomp, so pretty much like running it into the front of an amp. The built in cab sim with all of these pedals isn't good enough to run DI, I would always use an external IR loader if running direct
I got this pedal like four years ago. Initially I thought about collecting all of them in the series (so far I had the California and the American), but this golden banana-coloured one was the definitive one in the whole recipe, and I discarded cooking the remaining ones. It can do it all, be it cleans, dirt, obviously royal stuff... I don't use it much these days, though, since I changed my setup for something more flexible to just stomp on and make changes on the spot. I saw some mods to fully disable its analog cab emulation and just use better-sounding external IRs instead, but I never cared to try it.
I've heard about those mods too and I must admit I've been tempted but I've found running IRs after the units sounds pretty good anyway so I've never bothered. I may do it eventually though, we shall see 😜
I've always leaned towards rat style distortions or big muff style tones for Pink Floyd lead work. You can get some nice saturated lead tones out of this, but there are better options to nail the specific tone.
Siempre está encendido. No puede encenderlo y apagarlo, lo que puede ser un pequeño problema. De todos modos, no es un gran simulador de altavoces, así que tiendo a usar uno externo además.
They do something different for each pedal. With this one, it goes from a cleaner sparkly cleaner voicing to a mid rich gainy voicing. With others, it takes you through those types of amp through the ages. I think the American is supposed to sound like a champ at one end and a bassman at the other. They really bring these pedals to life. Hope this helps 👍
@@boimesa8190 I don't know for sure, but I would say they likely alter the EQ of the signal going into the amplification stage. Adding more low mids and bass will also alter the gain as lower frequencies push amplifiers to drive more easily.
I own like 30 different gain pedals, 3 different amps, 2x12 Celestion V30 speaker cab, 11 guitars from Squier to Gibson, a peanutbutter jelly sandwich, and I use Landstrom Sharkfin picks, you think I can get a Brian Mayonai-ish sound out of this pedal??
@@BudgetPedalChap - treble booster: check - single coils: check Would this work at the end of the pedal chain in front of the amp or do I get a better result running it straight into power amp using fx loop?
@@BudgetPedalChap OK thanks. I have an Ali refund coupon to spend, this pedal would only cost me like 3 euros lol. I looked at the California, I think it's kinda muddy for my taste and I have plenty high gain already, the British is overkill too because i have at least 5 pedals that are Marshall in a box already, 2 of my amps sound like Marshall, and I've never been a great fan of Fender amps. I played Vox before and they sound great. I grew up with Brian May's live sound (the March 31, 1974 Rainbow show bootleg) and I love it, so basically, for 3 euro it's a no brainer... Thanks again =) Ps: recently they also released an 'Oxford' in this same series, it's supposed to be an Orange style amp, don't know what to think of it, I feel like it's got no real distinguished sound of its own.
I have the Joyo American pedal and I absolutely love it. I bought the AC solely on what I found out from videos like this and I'm expecting a similar outcome. The timing here couldn't be funnier. I recently bought the Boss GT 1000 Core which has an amazing amp modelling function. After a, "Like for like" comparison the Joyo won hands-down. It's just more warm, more amp, and more real. No disrespect to Boss because I love their stuff but I'll be favouring the Joyo's above their modellers. Pedals that cost around £35 each? I don't even want to ask.
The joyo sims punch well above their price point for sure. There's a reason I still own them despite having fancy modellers at my disposal. The early days of this channel used the American and British sound as the amp sim too and people loved the tone 👍
I read about the gear you used in the description and just have one question. How did you demo this pedal through patch and instrument cables without guitar or amplifier?
@@MetalHeadPyro510 most of the time I use a hx stomp with amp models. In the early days, I used the American sound into a desk with IRs running in the software. Pretty sure by this point, it's the HX stomp 👍
@BudgetPedalChap ill be receiving this pedal to test out on the clean channel of two different marshall heads. I have two different 412 cabs. One has t75 celestions and the other g12k100s. The brit cosm in my Roland cube turned me on to the vox sound which sounds very doom heavy metal when boosting mids voice with high dialed back. I just hope it will sound close going into the front input of both marshalls, if not, I will try boosting the front end of the joyo. If neither works, I'll try running it at the end of my pedal chain to change the marshall clean into a vox clean with mids cranked on pedal. I plan to test a boss turbo distortion into the joyo. If nothing works, I give up.
@@MetalHeadPyro510 let me know how you get on. I've had good luck running it into the front end of another amp to give it a more voxy tone so I don't see why it's not going to work out for yourself. Keep me posted 👍
I haven't tried it with the katana, but I've used a few of these joyo amp sims in the dying end of an amp to give a nice amp like flavour and it's worked great. I don't see why it shouldn't work for the katana 👍 if you do get one, let me know how you get on
I have one, great tones on the cheap. This line is probably joyos best. I'm most partial to the American sound, which I believe to be joyo's absolute best pedal, but the ac tone is great too.
They say it has a cab emulated out, which means you can either go into desk/DI or run it into a flat response powered cab. The whole series is the same and the biggest complaint is that it isn't switchable usually.
Does the guitar in the demo have humbuckers? I remember quite a different sound, but mine have single coil pickups, like on a strat. I bought a few from this series. I haven't used them for a while, but this was my favourite one.
All of my demos, unless stated otherwise, uses a strat style guitar so no humbucker on this one. I really like the range and use there American and British quite a lot, the AC is a nice mid point between both as it does sound nice clean tone and sound good when you drive the circuit too.
It's pointing to the voice control, as it is the MVP...or at least it should be. I was kicked out of thumbnail design college for breaking all the rules 🤣🤣🤣

This is the video that concinved me to buy this pedal and I couldn't be happier with it now that I have it. Well done 👏 .
I'm glad you're having fun with it. The series of amp sims have some great ones in 👍
I am loving how versatile this is. Big win right there
It really is huh?

The American sound is a great pedal. I'm glad you're getting on with it.
It truly is the golden age of guitar gear at the moment 👍
Great tone and demo..what a variety of good tone there! Well done 👍
Cheers gent. It really is a very powerful preamp pedal
Your playing really did justice to some brit tones than others
@@robotmeister009 cheers ☺️ I think it's safe to say the tones inspired me a fair bit, but thanks once again for the kind words 👍
@@BudgetPedalChap Out all these joyos, which one do you like for cleans esp the fender and AC one
Love this plugged into a ac 15 green back it’s my new favourite combo I’m addicted to it
Double the vox, double the fun
I’m considering getting the American as I don’t currently have a fender amp
@@castnoshadow82lr48 for the cost outlay, it's hard not to recommend it. I think it's probably the best out of the lot too
Ok I'm just gonna buy this you make it sound very good !!! Cheers 🙂

@@petaralargic yeah, absolutely. Thanks for watching 👍
Adding the cab IR, it really brings up the midrange. I wonder if you could accomplish that by bringing up the mid and high knobs some...or adding a 10 band EQ pedal?
There isn't enough fine adjustment in the mid control but an EQ pedal could work 👍
I'd love a comparison between this one and Caline's The Mayday
I'll have a word with Caline and see if they'd be up for a comparison video 👍
I have one of these and i run it with a nux plexi pedals soynds pretty good.
Sounds like a good plan 👍
I just got mine about an hour ago, and plugged it into my Carr Mecury V British voiced amp, and I am a Very Happy Chappy!!!
Glad to hear it my man
Can you plug it in an amp, like Fender Blues Jr? How can I use it? Just like a normal pedal? Thanks for the video!

It sounds great but I don't think you need a separate cab sim, there's already one in there
The cab sims in these pedals are rubbish. They really come to life when you run an external cab sim 👍

Nailed the Hank Marvin tone right there!
Why thank you 👍
@BudgetPedalChap 🤣👍
I really love orange amps, but this also sounds nice. Thinking of which one I should get haha
The AC is probably more versatile as the cleans are a bit nicer and the gain is a bit less noisy
Cómo se activa el CAB? Se hace desde el pedal o desde otra parte?
Siempre está encendido. No puede encenderlo y apagarlo, lo que puede ser un pequeño problema. De todos modos, no es un gran simulador de altavoces, así que tiendo a usar uno externo además.
@@BudgetPedalChap Excelente, desde ya muchas gracias por tu tiempo y por la información!!
How do you conect the pedal to the pc? Thanks
If you plug this into an interface you can use it into your PC 👍

love your captions
Thank you 👍
I've read somewhere that it has built in cab sim, are you able to turn it off?
@@SlavJerry yeah, they say it's cab emulated out. There is no way to turn it off but the mod to disable it is pretty easy I hear 👍

If you've got something treble booster flavoured pushing the front end and some single coils, you'll get in the ballpark for sure 👍
@@BudgetPedalChap
- treble booster: check
- single coils: check
Would this work at the end of the pedal chain in front of the amp or do I get a better result running it straight into power amp using fx loop?
