Ohh man that sounds great.
These are only £375. Might be a good used bargain for someone who wants to add another tone to the stable. Though, will take time for them to filter through the market....
Bloody hell this thing sounds immense, Big fat high gain sound with loads of bass. There's a hint of cocked-wah but that can be dialed out with the tone control. It's a really fantastic very saturated drive sound. With the gain all the way down there's a good rock tone - but even at the lowest setting it's still pretty raunchy.
Clean tone is the real lovely surprise, it sounds fantastic. With some verb and chorus in the loop it sounded great. Takes drive pedals really well at the front end.
Oh and it's bloody loud. Haven't tried the bluetooth function yet or the headphones. That'll have to wait until tomorrow. Perhaps I'll put a sound demo together tomorrow - though I doubt I could make it sound as good as Ola can. I'm playing it through a Harley Benton 2x12 - the one with the Vintage 30s.
First impressions are that I'm very impressed. I'd quite like to try one of the lower gain ones, perhaps the JCM.
Does the clean work for funk?
The clean channel is proper clean, even with the gain all the way up. It just gets louder and fuller.
The only downside so far is there's no way of changing channel other than the switch on the front of the amp. Otherwise it's a great fun little thing - ideal for home playing. Heck it'd do a small gig, and obviously it could do anything mic'ed up.
i can't believe they didn't include a footswitch option tho.
Had a chance for a much longer play today with the kids at school and the house empty. This really is the little amp that could.
The drive channel is remarkably quiet given how much gain there is on offer. Perhaps there's some sort of gate, but one can't tell in terms of note cute-off or anything like that.
I've been using my pedal board in the loop - and it sounds lovely. Was enjoying the sparkly clean tones with some chorus and reverb.
And I reckon I might have discovered the best brutal high gain tone I've ever achieved. I put my Marshall Bluesbreaker II pedal in front of the amp, set the pedal to boost mode and set the Joyo's dirt channel gain around 11 o'clock. Oh my it made a sound to die for - if you've into that kind of massive chugging sound.
It could be this would all fall apart in a band context. But for solo play this is a fabulous sounding little amp. I may try some recording with it this week - I've yet to try the speaker emulated output.
Is it likely I can use the headphone out without the speaker load? There's no info on this in the manual.
I can only imagine a 120w power section driving an oversized 4x12 would be a thing of joy.
