Fender Clean amp in a box

By: Adam on 28 May 2022

Does the job, fender style cleans, clean breakup and light overdriven tones works running direct into interface (I would use a cab Sim on DAW if using for overdrive tones) or as a clean style preamp (last on the chain after all pedals) if you don't have a fender amp and are looking for that sound. I really enjoy it, it's a very useful tool for overdubbing or double tracking if you're looking for a different sound to layer on but don't have a lot of options.

I've had this pedal for a bit now and it's amazing. Versatile and easy to use Gives you most if not all the old American amp sounds you just need to sit down and play with it. Recommend it to anyone

solid DI for ampless recording

By: likeithateit on 4 October 2021

I'm using this as a DI into an SSL2 recording interface for indie style pop. Sounds great. A good starting point for more tonal shaping but certainly usable on its own. Definitely worth the money - better than the software solutions.

Best $69 you’ll ever spend in a music store

By: Anonymous on 7 September 2021

This pedal is amazing. I’ve tried a few different pedals for plugging my electric guitars straight into a PA system. All of them were much more expensive than the JF14. None of them are as good. From clean, to just breaking up, to distortion - it does it all. The tone is great. It’s easy to dial in the sound I want. Thoroughly recommended.

Versatile pedal.

By: Hobbyist on 5 April 2021

Received this pedal the day following my order. Great service. Wanted a Fenderish sound to practise after selling my Laney tube amp to a blues harp player, without all the bells and whistles of a multi effects processor . This pedal really works for me. I use it with a stereo amp and analogue chorus pedal. Knobs are quite sensitive but I can get clean through to distortion. Also works well as overdrive into clean amp. If you want to get the amp sounds without the weight and cost this can do it. After getting a Yamaha THR I have become a fan of using stereo monitors rather than combos/cabinets for practising.

Joyo American Sound Amp Sim Pedal

By: Geoff on 1 January 2021

Having never been a huge user of pedals, I was somewhat surprised when I listened to the demo's of this little marvel. The demo's were done very simply, with just a little reverb added on some. I promptly placed an order, and the pedal arrived very quickly in the mail, as per usual from this company, Artist Guitars. Using several different, but very basic amps for the test, I was blown away by the range of tones available, and a simple push on the foot switch left no doubt that this pedal is a game changer. It really shows it's potential when using through an interface into a DAW. This area has long been lacking when using electric guitars to record via a computer. Now, no need to use a ''noisy'' guitar amp to get ''that tone'', it is all in this little, very well constructed pedal. You would think for the price it would be a lightly constructed case, but no, all cast metal, and a good foot switch. Well done Joyo, you have a winner here, and at a bargain price. There are other amp sim units out there, but if menus and buttons and digital sound don't excite you, for the price of a decent meal, this unit is sure to do it.

American sound fraction of the price

By: Steve lidman on 17 December 2020

I struggled to get a clean to just breaking up tone for a rockabilly sound. Using this pedal playing through a fender performer 100 and using a Gretsch ratrod. You do have to play with the knobs to balance the pickups with the tone. Once you sort that out perminent markers different colours for your settings and your away easy as

American sound joyo pedal

By: Wes on 8 October 2020

Awesome product. Every thing I expected from all the reviews on YouTube. Great price and service. Thanks artist guitars . Wes

Thank you Artist Guitars

By: Heath Clark on 14 September 2020

when i got this pedal for fathers day one of the knobs fell off due to a crack inside the knob, it looked like there had been damage on the box during transport, as the pedal worked fine i didn't see the point of sending it back a quick call and email to Artist and the sent out a new knob, fantastic service guys thank you 10 out of 10. Now this pedal is a gem to me a tube amp in a box i love it, i'm using it like a pre-amp on my Kustom 100 solid state combo and i feel like i've got my Fender Hot Rod Deville clean sound back, add my Joyo sweet baby overdrive and it's just perfect.

Excellent value pedal

By: Craig on 5 June 2020

Fantastic pedal, truly as good as all the reviews and demos claim, especially for the price. Plugged into my old Peavy Studio Pro amp, in 30 seconds had sparkling cleans, one dial twist later, beautiful overdrive tones. Runs well through PA too, for a "just in case" moment or instead of lugging an amp to rehearsals.

Joyo American Sound

By: Zac on 18 May 2020

Bought this as a backup for my valve amp when playing live and for when playing in venues where a quiet stage volume is necessary (in my case, my church). The pedal is amazing! Before I even heard it it was a no brainer for the cost alone, it was the quality of the sound that blew me away. I play a Silverface Fender and this pedal gets me in the ballpark and then some- from mid ranges focussed early Fender sounds to later scooped mids 60s-70s sounds. Has quickly become an essential bit of kit.

Forgot my amp

By: Harris on 20 March 2020

I have a series 1 original Sansamp. I lent it to a friend...but I have to say this is great. Ive not plugged into my amp in 4 days...just jamming to RMX spectrasonics beats for days, I have my mxr phaser ...strymon riverside with both the boost pedal and Boss Expression pedal and finally into RE 20 before the American. I can go from a clean fender tone to extreme metal in seconds. Blending the Riverside with the American is endless fun straight into Ableton. Besides my joyo pedal board the best money Ive spent in years.

JOYO JF-14 AMERICAN SOUND - GUITAR EFFECTS PEDAL

By: Ryan Stevens on 18 March 2020

Amazing. Sounds great, looks great. Quick delivery at a great price. No complaints here!

Joyo JF14

By: Neil on 20 February 2020

I am very happy with the JOYO JF14 pedal. It allows me to go direct to desk at venues where the sound man has fits about any on stage noise. It is good enough to fool all but the most discerning ears so it becomes a painless way to deal with the crazies at the sound desk who only care about volume and not quality of sound.

Awesome

By: Richard on 10 August 2019

A $65 pedal that sounds better than the $2000 amp it replicates. I have used Fender delux reverb for years and the pedal direct into PA or keyboard amp sounds better. Also unlike the amp you can actually dial some grit Into the sound if you want it at sensible dB levels

Great Pedal

By: Clinton on 20 October 2018

Probably the best $59 I've spent. Using it on the clean channel of my Boss Katana 50w and it's just great. Easy to forget your just playing through a pedal.

This one's a beaut and goes crunch to boot!

By: Anonymous on 4 December 2017

If you need a modeller for tone shaping or (as I do) for direct recording, you can't go past these Joyo pedals. This one is clean and clear and gets monstrous overdriven harmonics. I ran my Epi SG through it and zeroed the dials for tone and went from there - use voice to increase midrange distortion, and drive to scream. But the tone knobs aren't there for show, you'll get great Fender Reverb amp tones from fat mids to icepick highs. Extremely happy with the product and service, Artist, well done!

gorgeous sound

By: Daniel on 10 August 2017

An amp sim that actually does what it claims, as a fan of fender amps this BLEW me away. Absolutely recommended!

Amp in a box

By: Matt on 19 January 2017

I was after an amp simulator so I can play live direct into a mixing desk and PA. The amp I normally use (Orange Tiny Terror combo) is really punchy and hard for our techs to control in the live mix. I wanted something that would sound as close to the lovely crunch of a valve amp as possible while being tamable. This pedal does the job and then some. I can get some really usable tones out of this thing. It does a great job of sounding 'valvey' and 'American'. It actually sounds even better as a distortion pedal in front of my Tiny Terror, like some sort of American/Brit hybrid. Great tones for a great price. Would highly recommend.

great sounding pedal

By: Terry Lee Barker on 2 December 2016

wasn't sure what to expect from this pedal but I was very pleasantly surprised by it when it arrived,get those nice sweet fender tweed sounds quite well,and is very transparent maintains your original guitar sound nicely it's permanently on my live board and have now just ordered the california pedal also expecting it to be just as exceptional sonically,these pedals represent very good value and are very impressive sounding.

Excellent clean tones, takes to pedals really well

By: Anonymous on 29 December 2015

Excellent. If you are recording at home and want to do it in silence just get one you won't regret it. Even if you are recording and don't care how much noise you make it will still give you that beautiful warm sound that only comes from an amp. Makes lovely clean tones and takes to chorus and distortion pedal well. Low gain, Highest gain, scooped or pushed mids it loves it. It can be a bit quirky to setup your sound, like turning up the gain as the voice is turned up will increase the volume requiring you to back off the level, and the gain and voice will make noise once past about 3 o'clock but honestly the best sounds aren't up there anyway. Love it, made recording so much easier. Give a nice sound to my bass aswell. I have bought two of these now to save changing settings for guitar and bass!

Great pedal and great service

By: Anonymous on 10 November 2014

This pedal is great for the price! Its Easy to dial in usable sounds for recording or in front of amp. The pedal creates sounds very similar to a certain american brand F****r, most people wont be able to tell the difference. I have bought a few Joyo pedals and they are all awesome. I've bought all my pedals through Artist Guitars, its easy, quick and you get updates about when your purchase is being dispatched. I defiantly recommend this site and will use them again in the future

Unbelievable quality

By: Anonymous on 7 May 2014

Having used sooo many modellers over the years, I liked this Joyo JF14. Why? it simply works great. No fancy stuff, it just sounds great and is strongly built, true bypass (real, I tested it) and versatile. It will give you a lot of the fender amp types whether in clean, crunch, over the top... Something not so good? mmm not really. It's a great product, and I say this not because of its price, IT IS A GREAT PRODUCT regardless of its price tag. THANKS ARTIST GUITARS!

Joyo American Sound

By: Anonymous on 13 January 2014

I bought this pedal because I wanted a more classic Fender amp sound without the classic costs. I also wanted a better tone for recording as I have never been happy with the Line6 Amp sounds. This unit sounds fantastic. When I run it directly into my old and worn out Peavey Classic 30 with the color dial set close to zero and the drive set very low for a nice clean sound it transform my sound. Even my wife and kids noticed the difference and they aren't exactly tone buffs. It is now a permanent part of my rig and is always on. I run quite a few boss pedals in front of it and it behaves just like an amp would. The only criticisms is that it can produce a little noise, not a lot, and not enough for me to be concerned, but for $45.00 you cannot go wrong. My setup: Mex strat with Gold Lace pups -> BOSS AW-3, CS-3, SD1, DS1, (Arion MEQ), CE-5, DD-7, RV-5, RC-3 -> into the Joyo. Then either Amp of Mac with headphones.
