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

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 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
