Best demo out there of this pedal. I have a Xotic SL Drive but it's not doing what I want it to do, and the single Tone knob isn't versatile enough. I thinking of getting this one (I have previously owned the AC Tone, and I am currently using and loving the American Sound for my Dire Straits project). Sounds really good here!
I was tempted to get the American pedal but opted for the British pedal. I mounted the British pedal, a verb pedal, and the Digitech IR pedal to a pedal board just this weekend to make them a little more portable. I need to record something for RUclips demoing the reverb and demoing the IR pedal in combination with the British pedal now that I have them sorted out on the board.
Were you using an IR or any kind of high frequency cut from an equalizer? My Joyo American sound through a PA speaker sounds fizzy, but the British does not in your video. I wonder if that can be attributed to the speaker emulation in the Marshall pedal being better than in the American sound?
I have an IR pedal but it was NOT used in this video. I always intended to do a follow-up video with the IR pedal if there was enough interest in that, but never got around to it. It's been a while since I did this video and I don't remember specifically what, if any EQ I used, but I know I wouldn't have done anything radical to the top end. In fact, I'm thinking I didn't use any post-production EQ at all just to show the pedal's own tonal variety and out of the box sound.
I wanted something for a highly portable, easy to use, 'amp in a box'. This definitely met expectations. Not in the video, but I also added a Digitech IR pedal and a Donner reverb micro reverb pedal to the chain after this. They take it to another level of realism and tonal options. If anyone is interested, I can do a video where I add those to the equation and review those as well.

Alan Hamilton yeah man I’d love to see that. I recently bought the pedal (Harley Benton - I believe they are the same) and was wondering what she’d sound like with an IR pedal etc
It'll get you a base. And it's got plenty of gain to play with. A variable IR cab sim helps even more. And of course adding reverb to liven it up. If you're going into a DAW, the Waves CLA "Guitar" plugin works well since it can add some reverb and light chorus (that fattens things) and is pretty simple to use... Even if you don't use an IR cab sim. And that can get you pretty close with this pedal. But, Eddie always had a distinctive attack with the way he played, and then that phaser, and that reverb (especially the early albums), and later delays more too). So you need that hardware too... and to emulate his picking style and attack as much as possible. There's a lot of ingredients to Eddie's sounds, not the least of which was Eddie himself.
Probably most people that have a Marshall don't bother with buying the pedal ;) It definitely has the essence of a Marshall, and when used with an IR pedal (or an IR in a DAW) really gets you that vibe. Especially, adding a bit of reverb. Comparing it against a real Marshall, and trying to emulate it each would be an interesting experiment.
I'm not sure. Maybe someone else will chime in that has experience with both. My guess is that either would work because the AMs don't use a ton of gain... So the British pedal has a range of gain that would go from good to way too much... Whereas the American would need a higher gain setting because I'm assuming it doesn't have as much potential gain overall as the British pedal. But I could be wrong since I don't have an American to compare. So, I think either would work... I'm just not sure which might be voiced as the 'best' option.
@@AlanHamiltonAudio thanks man, i already have an american but planning to buy a british and mod them into a single pedal and make them switchable haha

Thanks for taking the time to make this
Glad it was helpful!
I own one of these and the Joyo American (Fender preamp), they are pretty great but I find are much better with a cab IR or cab pedal.

I mounted the British pedal, a verb pedal, and the Digitech IR pedal to a pedal board just this weekend to make them a little more portable.

Pretty decent pedal. Should used the output control to even out the levels.
Well presented video, I use the American, for the reasons you say, a Caline Blue Sky transparent overdrive works well with it.
Thanks... I need to circle back around to this sometime and demo it with the IR pedal (and reverb).
Good review😊
Thanks!
Wonderful Demo!
Thank you!
Sounds like Ace's cover (I believe it's a cover) of Do Ya. The chords, that is.
Ace was covering ELO. And yes, pretty similar. :)
Good review
Thanks!

can this pedal be used to play some evh?

@@AlanHamiltonAudio Thank you so much! I just want to get closer not the same, I think I have decided on this pedal, thanks
Why has no one put up a British Sound vs real marshall?

Is this or the american better to play arctic monkey stuff?
