One thing I like about these pedals is their frugal battery consumption. When not in use the battery's life is no less than removing the battery completely. Great pedals, available in a range of brands such as Joyo, Ammoon & Irin.

I use the Joyo (harley benton) AC Tone with a DI / Cab Simulator. The DI / Cab Simulator gives the AC Tone pedal a bit of help to get closer to emulating the Vox sound. I go instrument - boss sustain/compressor - boss pitch shifter - Joyo ac tone - joyo analog delay - joyo atmosphere reverb - xvive di / cab sim - board & pa speakers.

The AC Tone clearly busted out the competition. Just like an AC30, the AC Tone recieves clean notes, gradually puts it up, saturates it down andpushes it to distortion. It made the clean but rock tone Brian May uses in his rig. 10/10 bro

Yes! When I did use the pedal (it's been a while), I used the voice knob all the time. It really helped me get a tweed sound or going the other way, a blackface tone.
Time stamp 2:17: Maybe this is the reason why Fender never was a high gain/Rock/HardRock/Metal amp. When the drive knob is at 4 o'clock on AMERICAN it is muddy whereas the Vox (ACTONE) is not. Ok, Vox never was a high gain amp, too. But it has a more wire-sound (I mean you hear the strings (made of steel) better in the mix. It is not that metall sssssouuuuuuchchchchchch.... :-)
Yes, it seems if you are a metal player, Fender is not the way to go! Not a surprise though. The BF amps didn't have enough gain and the speakers flub out way too easily.
They are similar, but there are differences. I really think the AC Tone has more chime than the American Sound. It breaks up earlier too, like a Vox would. I've used both on stage, and the AC has much more high end than the American Sound.
they do sound similar at low gain. It is when you crank it up that you will hear the AC TONE has more dirt and more noise. I'd take the American Sound anyday...which to me is a lot better. I have both pedals.
I've done that before without using any kind of cab sim, but only once. I do use the American Sound for recording all the time: guitar>American Sound pedal>Splitter>Stereo USB preamp Going direct into a PA should work for you as well.
You've completely missed the distinguishing features of these pedals. It's all about the "voice" dial. Set to noon on each.. You're not going to hear much difference. But when you move them on each pedal.. Thats when the tones really change.. 9 o'clock on the ac tone =ac30 3 o'clock =ac 15...on the American sound... 9 = twin reveb, 3 = tweed deluxe... Its all about the voice dial.. Then the eq.. And gain... Totally missed it dude. Shame
I believe this only works into your imagination, buddy! :-D The "voice"-dial controls frequency response and distortion output, so basicly at 9 o'clock you barely have distortion and the EQ has rolled back... would be cool if this would be a thing, but sadly it's a hard No.
Hello from Argentina! For home use, is it convenient to use this pedal (The American sound) to the interface instead of connecting the guitar directly to the interface and use emulator fender plugins? Is there a difference? Thank you very much for the video
It's very easy to connect to a computer if you have a USB preamp. Also, there are no latency issues like I've had with some plugins. It sounds good as well.
You can actually with a 1/4 jack, but it will come out as a mono output. I've used it that way for a while now and it sounds very clean ! I'd recommend looking for some kind of stereo adapter to occupy both L/R of the headphones.

David Niles Wouldn't you want to go OD --> Joyo --> amp? I mean, usually the OD is always first in the signal chain, if you're using only a real amp you'd go OD --> amp, so why exactly is the simulated amp treated differently?
The two pedals are amp simulators, not distortion pedals. As such they have two completely different sounds and purposes. The American Sound is supposed to represent tone you can extract from a classic Fender 58 Deluxe amp which has a much cleaner overall sound. The ACTONE replicates the tones of a Vox AC30 and the *early* British beat era sound. Joyo do another with a lot of distortion they label to as British Sound. It replicates the Marshall tones. Frankly, as owner of both the Joyo American Sound and ACTONE, this is pretty rubbish 'comparison' demo it must be said. Plenty of comprehensive demos and comparison with the amp reviews elsewhere demonstrating that with the right config dialed in up by the end user, both of these replicate the tones of the target amps as good as any pedal could, arguably too perfectly.
@@p10rambo Yes, if your guitar is plugged into your computer and DAW, you can use your PC speakers. I usually use headphones because I think they sound better.

If this did not matter, the pedal would not incorporate the three high, medium and low controls. Unfortunately there are people who do not think that the electric guitar can also be played in clean mode.
@@anotherheadlessdemo So, probably the title of the publication is not appropriate. "Joyo American Sound vs. Joyo AC tone" seems to be a complete comparison.
More low end on the American Sound. More mids on the Ac Tone. Basically, the difference between Fender and Vox amps.
What I didn't do with this particular video, was to play with the Voice control, which does a nice job adding mids or scooping the sound.
I have both of these pedals and i really love the tones its either one of those two.
After using my Katana for recording the last few months, I've started using the Joyo American Sound again. Killer pedal for the money.

A very unintelligent demonstration. You only compare the drive of each pedal. Do not compare the various variants that can be achieved with the equalization in clean, for example. If this did not matter, the pedal would not incorporate the three high, medium and low controls. Unfortunately there are people who do not think that the electric guitar can also be played in clean mode.
Thanks.
I was more interested in comparing the tone differences in each pedal, than in showing how clean they can sound.

So, probably the title of the publication is not appropriate.
"Joyo American Sound vs. Joyo AC tone" seems to be a complete comparison.

"Ive come to this video, which is 100 percent free content, to complain"

I've gone back to using the American Sound pedal almost exclusively.
