So, I’ve just purchased the pedal literally 20 minutes before finding this video. I wish I’d seen this video beforehand, because I would have bought the pedal 30 minutes ago. Easily the best demo of this pedal, the versatility of its tones and capabilities. This is the first to really show the Tweed sound from any other ones I’ve watched. Brilliant.
Thank you very much! It could have saved you 10 minutes at least haha. Hope you enjoy playing it, I still do. I have recently done the mod to bypass the built in cab sim, and now use it with a separate cab loader to get even more options. Such a fun pedal for so little money.
@@RudyBressers Hi.. great review. I purchased it used just yesterday and waiting for the shipment of the seller. May I ask two questions? is it good to gig for a pedalboard ampless un a band with funk music? where I can find the mod tutorial for the exclusion of the internal cab simulation? thank you so much. regards.
@@ace-rob71 Thanks! I think you absolutely can use it as a pedal board amp. Maybe add a compressor somewhere in the chain, that's always good for playing funk music. There is no video I believe for the mod, just one or two pictures floating on the interwebs. But its only a couple of steps, so ease enough if you're comfortable with soldering.
Great playing and great demonstration of the pedal, thanks a lot.

Man, I knew it! This pedal (and all of us here) needed you to post this review. Finally, a great guitarist using it on RUclips. Thank you very much, sir.
After watching this video, I got 100% confidence to bought this pedal last year. Now I'm so happy using it with minimalist pedalboard setup. Thank you! 😊
Very good demo especially concerning the dynamics of the pedal. Your playing is extremely expressive and refine picking soft, mild or harder. Very tender touch. Thanks.
Thanks, Rudy. Great demo. I can see this replacing my amp at times in my studio and live. Also would be great to just have it along as an amp backup. I'm sold. Lol
This seems perfect for me. I’ve played through tweeds and blackface amps for years but it’s handy to grab something like a Blues Jr or other little amp for jams or small rooms and it’d be great to get something closer to my normal tone from my bigger rig out of it
I absolutely agree. It's an easy way to get a good (and familiar) tone and this way you won't have to lug around a large & heavy amp. Especially for rehearsals that's a big plus :).
I bought an American Sound a few days ago and I'm commenting the videos that helped me to decide. Because it rocks! It's drive departmant is capable of even heavy tones. That was the most surprising side of it for me. I wasn't expecting it. Even when you record directly it's enough for heavy riffs and leads. (Of course adding delay or reverb in your DAW will make it sounding even better) Voice knob works like a saturation or soft overdrive. So it allows you to achieve AC/DC type of sound. And drive channel sounds like a heavy overdrive / distortion. So it's like having an amp simulation, soft clipping overdrive and distortion in the same pocket. I really recommend it.
Glad to hear you're happy with your purchase! It's a very good and versatile amp-in-a-box for an extremely affordable price. The drive tones can get very thick indeed, you don't need an additional overdrive pedal just to get to a heavy overdriven sound. And luckily the clean tones are very nice too. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it. And have fun using the American Sound! :)
I'm a bassist, but I do a lot of demos and home recording. I got this to go with my Orange Bax Bangeetar. This little pedal gave me the cleans I was looking for. Can't get a better deal than that
I have a Bass and saw a guy reset it for Bass and it's great for bass as you don't have a bass head ripping the twelves on a Guitar cab it seems tweaked just right for a Bassman approximation. I just lay really mild compression before it and use my Catalin Bread Belle Epoch Deluxe Delay on 80 milliseconds about 10% wet between those it is an amazing Bass sound I've heard engineers do way worse spending ages tweaking. I can also get that 70's slapback David Essex Rock on with the Catalan bread.
I have an analog power amp on my board that pushes 50 watts into a 10” eminence patriot. I’m thinking of getting this as my “preamp” as the analog circuitry of my power amp is made to “pass through” all signal. This American pedal does that classic fender sounds perfectly.
thx for this review. Do you think the pedal is as effective in front of a normal amp? Or is it better suited in an effects-loop to avoid the pre-amp eq?
There are people who use it in front of an amp (but I am not one of them). I think it's going to be a matter of personal preference. Both options are definitely possible!
@@deadcatforcutie9349 In this video I did. With a bit of compression too if I remember correctly :). But these days I use it with an IR loader after it (I have bypassed the built in cab sim).
Sounds great. How does it react to picking attack. Does it clean up and break depending how hard you hit it? And dues the volume knob clean up up the dirty sounds when you turn it down? Thanks
It does react pretty well to picking, the tone can clean up nicely when you pick a little softer. Feels organic. And indeed also when you dial back the volume on the guitar.
If you don't mind paying a bit more, check out the Sonic Blue Twanger. I really like mine... however it does have a very assertively warm scooped sound
Good video, by the way I want to add it to my pedalboard, where should I put it? I have in this order: equalizer, compressor, overdrive, dist, noise Gate, chorus, tremolo, flanger, and delay. Where should I put it? Thanks
Thanks! Personally I would put it at the end of the chain if you don't plan on going into an amp. If you are playing through an amp I would place the Joyo more to the front of the chain (after the drives and before the noise gate).
Hey Rudy! Fantastic sound and pkaying! If i was to plug direct into desk/pa with this would i need a specific cable or would a standard inst cable do the trick?
Hi! Thanks 🙏. Usually you would plug into a DI box. Especially when it's a longer cable run to the desk (front of house). But at home you could just plug straight into a mixer, no problem.
Hi! Depends a little on the setup there. Would you have a very long cable run going to the mixer? In that case a DI pedal could still be useful. With shorter distances you can plug the JoYo directly into the mixer, no problem.
Hi! You could just add the reverb before the American Sound. Normally, if you use an amp without an effects loop and you want to connect a reverb pedal, you would also do it like that.
That depends on what you mean by 'amp simulator'. You could say that basically any overdrive can be used as a preamp (sort of). But an overdrive doesn't have a cab sim built in, so on it's own (without an actual cabinet) it's not gonna sound good.
Terrific demo. I'm curious, how would you set it with an OD? I've had it for years and love the amp tones by themselves, but I had worse luck with other (dirt) pedals.
Thanks! I would probably keep the JoYo pretty clean / low gain. And then use the overdrive in front of the Joyo. Maybe add a booster too before the JoYo if you want to drive it more. I have two pretty affordable drive pedals, I haven't tried 'em yet with the Joyo, but definitely will now... just to see how they will sound :).
Thanks! Turning the gain all the way down basically kills the volume (even with the volume all the way up). But if you keep the gain very low (around 1), and the volume up, then you get a very nice and clean tone. Pretty much 100% clean I would say 👍
When I plug this using a TS to TS cable into my studio monitor only the left channel has a sound. If I buy a TRS to TRS cable would it output on both left and right channel?
Thanks! Depends on how you want to use it. As an amp you would use it instead of your current amp. An an overdrive/preamp pedal probably at the very start of your chain.
Absolutely you could use it for that. As long as you can bypass the FX units amp sim. Otherwise you would be stacking two amp sims and that often doesn't sound great.
Pretty good as far as I'm concerned, depending maybe on which overdrive/distortion pedal(s) you put in front of it. I happen to have a video demoing two overdrives together with the Joyo AS: ruclips.net/video/96Yh9vkeNgE/видео.html
It is very dynamically sensitive and easy to use. I had the AC Tone also I think it’s somewhere in my car 🤔 I ran a Walrus EB-10 into the American sound and it reacted like an amp, tube sag and such, sounded great. Joyo stuff seems durable/reliable, but what do I know
Just bought one because of all the great reviews, but there was a tremendous amount of hiss at any volume over unity. I went ahead and reflowed all the capacitors on the board, because the work seemed subpar and the hiss was gone, so the issues I’m seeing people talk about are more likely bad soldering jobs and not bad components/design.
@@thesonnyboy Ahh that would explain a lot. That's such a shame, but maybe something that happens sometimes when corners are cut to keep the costs as low as possible. Definitely something to be aware of before buying. Or a good reason to return a unit when someone experiences a lot of noise.
I am considering buying this pedal for direct recording. I can put it in my chain like this with no issue right?? Boss SD1 -> BD2 -> Joyo american -> Delay -> Reverb --> into my soundcard
No, not yet.. So I don't know if it sounds good going directly into a mixer for example. But seeing that it sounds pretty good going into my interface, I'm willing to guess it'll sound ok too with a PA or powered speaker.
@@RudyBressers This little gem was actually made to be played into mixer since it has a speaker cab built in, i do it for live, after it i've got the Mooer Micro DI and it's even better... Good demo. Cheers...
@@lowrencemayfield4271 Hi Lowrence, thanks! I haven't yet had the opportunity to use it live (not a lot of gigs lately understandably). But good to hear that it's working well in that setup. Especially considering the very low price point. Could be a nice backup live in case an amp breaks down for example.
@@RudyBressers Hi, yes it's a great back up, actually lately i don't even bring the amp with me, so it's my main amp. :):):):):) Walking around town to get to the gig with just the guitar and the pedalboard is priceless....
@@lowrencemayfield4271 That's a great way to get to a gig or rehearsal! Not lugging a heavy amp around, just a guitar and pedalboard. I could get used to that too :) :)
Great demo! I just bought one of that badass the other day. I am playing it through my Orange amp (Amp - American Sound - Guitar). What should be the knob settings in my amp?
You can check out a different video I made with the JoYo and two overdrives: ruclips.net/video/96Yh9vkeNgE/видео.html Around 5:20 I switch from my Fender to a Gibson Epiphone SG with Humbuckers. At least you'll get some idea of how the Joyo sounds with a different type of guitar. I hope it helps!
@@RudyBressers Nice, but i think it would be easier to hear amp demos without reverb. Also your SG sounds very bassy. Is your pickup polepieces flushed all the way down to the pickup bobbin/body? They came in stock like this, but i usually raise them about 3-4mm to reduce that boomy sound.
@@melodica5407 The pickup polepieces are quite a bit down. It does sound bassy, but I like that actually with humbuckers. Sounds a bit jazzy, especially clean. I always use a little reverb to make it sound 'real', but maybe that's just my reverb addiction haha :).
@@RudyBressers I see, we have completely different taste. I prefer more balanced humbucker sound and minimal reverb (think room reverb), but that's just the way it is with guitar players, that's what makes it fun 😄 Anyway, thx for your demo. I'm getting this pedal today to go into my super clean neutral solid state amp. I hope it works well.
@@melodica5407 Absolutely, different tastes is what makes music interesting :). Thanks for your comment, I hope you enjoy the Joyo. Have fun playing! 😀
You can also use a 9V battery to power the pedal indeed. That's not a very exciting thing to demo however ;). Personally I use an adapter, it's just easier for me.

@@melodica5407 Absolutely, different tastes is what makes music interesting :). Thanks for your comment, I hope you enjoy the Joyo. Have fun playing! 😀
so this is not a total demo of this pedal, battery powreed depends o n battery power, rite r wrong , get the ped powered by
You can also use a 9V battery to power the pedal indeed. That's not a very exciting thing to demo however ;). Personally I use an adapter, it's just easier for me.
Everyone get one, you won't be sending it back.
the drive honestly sounds pretty terrible. low gain is fine but then again what isnt at low gain really
Yeah not a big fan of the drive either. That's why I use pedals in front of it to get a good overdrive/distortion sound.
