Joyo amp sims ?

melod

so Ingot the very versatile and cool soundin hx stomp. It’s great and I haven’t even tried yet to plug it in my amps effect loop but .... I am so f..... lazy even pushing 3 buttons. Plus I end up using like 3 amp sounds mainly for practice.

should instead get a couple of cheap joyo sims like the American sound and save me some pennies ....?

Try it before you decide. I think the new generation of modellers with IR cabinet impulses sound far superior to older modellers.

I use my old Joyo American all the time ...

Joyo american sound is brilliant if you dig fender sounds.  Can make my silverface sound like a tweed, could make my blues JR sound like a blackface, all with variable drive.  Best £35 I have ever spent I think, apart from in the red light district of amsterdam.

Those Joyo American Sound pedals also sound really good direct into the PA. Run one clean and then put another one after it for the dirty sounds - Voila! - channel switching without all the expense!

American sound and AC are great .I got my AC from Gumtree like new for less that 20 .I run mine through a Little jazz.

Anyone ever run one of these through a Jazz Chorus and if so how did it sound ?

My current rig for rockabilly is a Tele run into a rather grungy Joyo delay fixed with a nice slapback ... into a Joyo American ... then into a Katana set clean. Sounds perfect for what I want.

I use a Joyo American Sound for all home recording. It's pretty much set and forget. Only time I notice it is when I forget to switch it on. When I started to look at HX stuff I ended up getting the HX Effects because I was happy with the American Sound and didn't want to get bogged down in amp sim options paralysis.

Yes, I have used one into my JC-40. Sounds best straight into the fx loop return, I find. Sounds as good or better than the JC’s own preamp, and with a fairly convincing Fender flavour. I really like its EQ, lots of variety possible and it seems easier to home in on the sound you are chasing than with the JC’s EQ.

Fantastic, thanks @smigeon ;

Thank you all for the info. Might give it a shot as they are quite cheap.

You won't regret it ...

They are available branded Harley Benton here

Anybody running one of these straight at a PA with no actual amp?

It's for a very lazy idea involving saving my back.

Yep - I ran a pair of these on my board for quite a while straight into the PA. Nobody ever had anything but compliments about the sound. I replaced them with a pair of the smaller Joyo amp sim pedals to save space, but they didn't sound as lovely as the American Sound.
Nowadays I run a Helix so I can have whatever amp I want!

Dave_Vader

Excellent, they're cheap enough I can get a couple and decide which I like best.

No more amp-carrying for me....

Do I need one if I've got a boss katana 50?

The clean and drive sounds from the 'American' through my Katana clean ... sound better than the Katana's own 'Fendery' sound.
