I have been live gigging with my American Sound pedal and Telecaster into the PA for over a year now. No need to take the amp out anymore, the pedal sounds amazingly good.

[@karlobluesman]

do you go straight into your pa? or via a DI box

[@midnightpancakes700]

Hands down best pedal I own. And I’ve spent big money on pedals pushed by youtubers only to be let down. I was about to try a new amp. This has saved me a bundle of cash. First joyo pedal too. Shocked 😮

[@intheblues]

check description for the link ;)

[@stewartlusk]

Sincerely appreciate the time you took to do this. Great quality, and I loved the fact that it was blind.

[@brownerthanu]

A is the pedal. It sounds fuller, yes, but the hint is in the extra noise such as the pick scrape, pick attack, hand noise and string noise. A direct signal makes them much more "pokey" with thicker transients which makes them much more audible in a mix. I've found it's a pain in the butt to deal with if the guitarist doesn't have really good control. In contrast, when the guitar goes through an amp into a decent microphone it somehow mellows the unwanted noise and helps it disappear into the mix in a desirable way. Shane is really good rhythmically, so the problem is not as obvious here.

[@thebeingbecoming3596]

Haha, I'm so glad you wrote this. I thought A was the amp because it sounded fuller. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@quiksilver78]

The real test is now the Joyo American and the Tone Master - both DI. The cheat code here is the slight hiss coming from the microphone

[@edgelite]

Me too. I thought A was the amp. I have the Marshall version and tried the vox version but definitely want to pick the American one now. Thanks for the French.

[@lastdaysguitar]

All I can think is it must be scary for amp manufacturers that they are getting this close with a pedal!

[@intheblues]

It's pretty spot on, I've been using it all over the new album, I love it :) (and the Vox one) Cheers for the comments.

Hey Tom.. that`s great to hear. Did the lead from Joyo output to PA have a standard 1/4 jack or did you use an XLR 3 pin into the PA..?

[@ZEGO24x]

Just bought a couple of these babies, and I am waiting with great anticipation even more after hearing this demo! Incidentally, I picked A as the pedal, but it has unbelievable warmth, etc, and it was only after much deliberation at that! Keep up the good work!

[@LuxeXx]

This pedal is fantastic. The voice knob can bring out lots of Fender amp sounds. I managed to get it to sound just like a BF Pro Reverb.

[@catboyzee]

I listened to this video without actually watching. That we finally have affordable guitar pedals that have gotten this close to sounding like actual tube amps is a glorious accomplishment. But I totally get that some guitarists aren't going to be satisfied with anything less than plugging into a dimed tube amp. Its all about upholding the legacy of live playing...respect. Great demo btw.

[@garnetgun]

Infidel14? this actually solved my problem of travelling around with amps....

[@bellachi9575]

Infidel14? It is also a great way for beginners on a budget to try out amp sounds to determine which amp to buy.

[@GordonChapmanFox]

I'm guessing B is the amp, purely through the amount of hum and small amount of room sound. Astonishingly impressive for such a cheap pedal.

[@jonathanhayden1534]

B is the Amp for sure as I hear the amp running through my studio monitors. I'm so pleased with the demo on this product, I'm buying it Now!!! Save lugging an amp to my gigs and I have room for it in my pedal box. Awesome Demo!

[@gamhazell]

I listened with headphones. A is the Joyo AS and B is the Twin. But Man!!! That is incredible how close that sounds.

Hey, 7 years. Give us the answer

[@fernank017]

@@jl8150 A = JOYO, B = DR.

[@NickLeonard]

I thought A sounded fuller and better at first so I guessed that was the amp, but the way B breaks up gave it away. A has a harsher and crispier breakup, its subtle though. For a purely clean tone, the pedal actually might be the winner. Both sound great and I'm sure the pedal works well in a mix!

[@RDYC]

I hear some clipping on A when he goes to the bridge pup at 1:46. Seems to be a problem with some pedals, including my Topanga.

[@jd1655]

I bought one. I use it into a Peavey Delta blues. nicely tightens up humbuckers and brings some new character to the 15' speaker. good addition to the board. yet to try it direct into a PA but will..

[@PriestUnleashed2012]

That's just crazy! I would've sworn A was the amp. Ordering one now. Thanks for posting this.

[@DanielFavio]

That's what I thought because it had a rounder tone with more bass.

[@hermitcrab1543]

Hi Shane. Great video. Bought one because of it ! Are the settings on the joyo when its next to the amp and the amp settings seen the same as used in the AB test please ? :)

[@jul3249]

warning: if you buy this pedal, you will never carry an amp to a gig in your life!

[@rodgeComAu]

I was thinking that B had more harmonic content in the upper mids and I thought that the bass sounded a lot more controlled. A did sound great but it was less lively in the upper mids and there was a lot of DI style bass frequencies coming through.

[@Kyle_Noonan]

A is definitely the pedal. When it comes back the second time you can definitely hear some noise. Also the break up from the deluxe is much smoother, and the pedal sounds... well like a direct pedal. Stellar sound for the cost though!

[@lothar34]

Shane I think that riff at (2:10) is getting to be as ubiquitous in your vids as Chappers always doing that Brian Adams bit! Love the demos though & gotta get one of these American Sounds to go w/ my British Sound.

[@robertstager6538]

The Joyo American Sound is my 'always on' base tone. I like edge of breakup with classic Fender fullness. However, I also like to layer on top either Marshall style cut through or Vox AC30 Top Boost midrange rasp, courtesy of different settings on a Vox Cambridge 50. Modeling has come very far, even in the 'budget' range. I can affordably enjoy making hybrid tones, with Joyo pedals and the Vox Cambridge.

[@ferricchild]

impressive pedal. For me, I knew straight away which was the pedal and which was the real amp because I could hear the air from the speaker HOWEVER, plugging through a PA speaker would obviously remedy this or, if recording, adding a clean speaker impulse response to an IR reverb plugin. very cool

[@LuisM_Piozza]

I write without see the older opinions... :-) Absolute amazing! Really really I can't distinguish one from another! The conclusion for me is always the same: today, to record at home or in studio, or to play straight to mixing desk, there are pedals like these by Joyo and many others (Tech21, Carl Martin, Line 6, Ax-FX, etc. ) with which you can sound like a real miked amp. The difference is always the dynamics and sound pressure (RMS) that you feel with the amp very close at home or in rehearsals, and this is still unbeatable by any pedal. But otherwise, the similarity in this blind test is quite surprising. I really have a hard time choosing one of the two sounds. I will say A almost randomly ... :-)

[@fullmoonfool]

I already have the pedal (my fav out of quite a few) but you just convinced me to buy another sm57 after I let mine go in a trade. Great stuff as always Thanks

[@petebobcat4910]

Hi, on the results of this review my pedal came today!! certainly adds lots of sparkle to the clean channel on my Blackstar HT 20 only has tone in the EQ. I was going to buy a graphic EQ to boost the settings this does it all nice addition to my simplistic stomps. Used to use a Sansamp GT2 years ago this sounds and responds better imho. Cheers Shane.

[@daved8514]

A has the roundness of a tube amp, so if that's the pedal then I'm ordering one. But what if neither was the pedal?

[@jimsreynolds]

The tell is on the bridge pickup at 1:45 ... there is a little bit of breakup at the high end. I have the American and the trick is to find the balance between gain and voice while not letting things get too gainy or you get the break up. Adore the pedal though. Use it regularly to convert bad tone into good and it even sounds pretty decent live through a PA.

[@michaelinglis8516]

I use an American Sound that I modded to have a switch that cuts out the cab sim (and in that position I added a cap and resistor to dial back the volume and the highs just a little since its much louder and brighter without the cab sim). I run it in front of my Marshall DSL100HR right before the amp after all my fuzz, overdrives and compressors. I am really blown away how accurately I can create a fender amp sound with this setup (tone wise and breakup wise). The A.S. reacts so authentically to volume changes from the guitar also which is killer. I could run the American Sound preamp directly into the Marshall's power amp bypassing the Marshall preamp but it sounds better to run it into the Marshall's clean channel first in my experience. The American Sound works great with and without the cab sim engaged and it's really a shame that mod doesn't come stock. I build pedals, guitars and amps from scratch and even I found the American Sound cab sim mod to be a pain in the ass. Absolutely doable, just a pain in the ass working with the tiny SMD (Surface mount) pads and the tiny SMD components. If anyone owns this pedal I highly recommend the mod but you should add that cap and resistor to balance each setting a little better (ask me if you want the values I used and I'll check for you). The actual Tech 21 pedal this is a clone of comes stock with the option to bypass the cab sim which is how I was able to figure out how to implement it on the American Sound (uskng the tagboardeffects layout as a schematic). Its not a subtle difference but again both ways with and without the cab sim sound great. But some sounds and situations just work better without the cab sim which can make things less lively when its engaged.

[@tonyhayek1086]

Do you think this pedal would clean up my Engl amp which has kind of a dark clean tone? I love pristine Fender cleans.

[@BobvsBob]

my answer is this. A is the Pedal, it has the definition of a Line in, the EQ for it, a normalization if nothing else. great sound. i think you ve got them real close though but B is the Amp. that thinner slightly warmer sound i bet to be the work of a microphone everyday. not discounting your setup, but defo B is the Amp. great vid thanks man!

[@goranmarinic2923]

your vids are so valueble! thnx

[@md4645]

A Joyo - B Amp.. Joyo is more balanced and you can achive this only with a DI into a audio-board B is Amp because is very difficult take all spectrum of an Amp without use 2 or more mic with different type of frequency response.

[@michakowalski2930]

yeah, thought the same, first thought, was wow, 1 sounds so much better it's obviously an amp and then the moment of clarity came :D that it's DI so there's more bass so.. it's fuller and it's pedal : ) wonder how they would compare if the second signal would get closer sonically to the first one.

[@mrgscales]

They both sound really good. I hear a difference at volume. There's a high pitch with the A-JOYO vs a hiss with B-Fender. Other than that the Joyo is really good. Are you using the Joyo direct to your DAW?

[@afblima]

B is joyo, right! When it Goes to top end, it sound a little too thin.

[@GregWorzel]

I am hearing the ambient sound of the room faintly on B so that is the amp but A sounds killer! Must have!

[@XiaoLongGungFu]

it's not the room, it's the amp

[@GregWorzel]

KesslerMan you are correct that that is the amp but they put a mic in front of the amp and even though the mic is close to the speaker, I recognize the ambience of the room bleeding into the mic.

[@garnetgun]

I agree...that ambience gave it away

[@garnetgun]

KesslerMan if only rooms made sounds that orgasmic... though we all appreciate your comment...

[@gilbertocruz1683]

Hey....that's awesome...Shane, do you think I can make a Peavey Valveking amp sound more like a Fender blackface amp with this pedal in front of it? Cheers

[@cosmic53]

I prefer A, even if I noticed the noise that cbmcaixa mentions. I heard B a tiny bit less loud and this could color the results. Which one is it?

[@maartenstevens9848]

More of these video's! Really Good ! I think A is the pedal. The ringing out of chords at 1:50 gives it away. 'A' struggles more with the tone and harshness. B is more relaxed. But I can be wrong, wich I like. Many folks claim the opposite, which says enough about the exceptionnel quality of the Joyo clone.

[@auntjenifer7774]

on the box of the joyo pedal it said that it emulates the fender 57 deluxe which is the best Tweed amp that FENDER made if you ask me.

[@gypsysteve3576]

A has more bottom and less crisp. If, as others have said here that that is the Joyo, then i wonder if (on the pedal) you dialed the bass back a little and raised the treble, whether you would be even closer? Also what speaker (and Amp) are you running the Joyo into? And what guitar are you using?

[@jeauxl4051]

A is the pedal. I can tell because of the extended low end thumps which you just don't get with a miked up amp unless you eq it in. Also, the Deluxe's voice came thru on some of the single note runs. Can't explain it, but having built one for myself with mostly correct vintage parts, I know what to listen for.

[@Jonathan-L]

Wow, they sound so close! I reckon A is the pedal and B is the Fender amp, as I can detect a bit of shimmer at 2:04 to 2:07 which made me think which was which (I could be wrong). If that pedal had reverb & tremelo built into it, then it would be sweet.

[@swardmusic]

You predicted the UA Dream 65 pedal!! 😜👍🏻

[@Jonathan-L]

@@swardmusic Thanks so much for mentioning the UA Dream. I wasn't aware of it, but I'm pretty impressed with it (apart from the price). I think UA will have more good tech on the horizon, they have nailed the 65 Deluxe very well.

So did you run the joyo through a cab? Or how did you export it into the computer?

[@BenOnuMuDiyorum]

I bought an American Sound a few days ago and I'm commenting the videos that helped me to decide. Because it rocks! Thanks for the incredible blind test! American Sound is great for direct recording and in front of an amp. I really liked it because of its versatility. It takes pedals great and its own drive knob is capable of heavy sounds by itself. I really recommend it.

[@francescomele6539]

My suggestion is to use the Joyo American Sound as preamp, in the return of the effects loop of your amp. It's simply amazing!

[@marksargent2908]

100% correct way to get the best result, but can still get a great sound directly into an amp, via the clean channel.

[@tonyharley5230]

I have one one these in the post. I plan to use it to substitute the poor Fender amp sim in a ZOOM GFX-1. I will turn off the drive (amp) setting in my patches and use Noise reduction without cabinet. The Joyo will provide my clean amp sound. Everything else will come from the Zoom. Now do I connect it before or after the Zoom? I then go direct to PA. Does this sound OK?

[@intheblues]

Channel one has zero Reverb. It's only if I am plugged into the second channel that it activates. :)

[@MattDoyleMusicOhio]

Both sound great. A sounded a little sweeter. Don't know which was which though.

[@dispersemedia]

I'm wondering if the circuitry of these Joyo pedals the same on the BantAmp heads.

[@SolidRockBluesBand]

I'd say A is the pedal, B is the amp. But only because I think I can hear some more 'room' (natural room) on the B. I have the same pedal and must say I love it. It's so hard to hear the difference that no one will notice if you used it on a recording. Especially if there's a full band playing (drums, bass, keyboards, vocals). No one will be able to tell if it's a pedal or the real thing. JoYo did an awesome job on this one. Have two other pedals but this is the best one.

[@picturebox01]

Hats off to you for getting the joyo to sound that good here. I didn't get on with it, preferring the results using Amplitube fender super reverb model with the diode overdrive for the fender sounds. Still can't beat a real amp though IMHO.

[@DavidShepard-ke9su]

WOW. Nice! Thank you!

[@TheGuitarModder]

Hi Shane. Which settings did you have the American sound pedal at?

[@AdrianLugo1967]

A is the pedal , which I just purchased. Bought the Behringer TM300, and the Tweed cab is great, but this is the sound I want when I am playing clean. It will look nice patched next to my Joyo Atmosphere :-)

[@greghenderson4582]

I actually guessed the pedal was B man I bought the American sound and the British sound solely based on a previous demo You posted I just used them at a club that won’t let us use amps and it works wonderfully!! The Marshall with my les Paul is great and a Strat with the American Sound is great as well !!

[@EchoReverb6]

i always want to know shuold i set bypass the the AMP(software) in Amplitube/Bias or shuold i turn it on . confuse

[@flexmusic89]

B is definitely the amp, you can feel the air in the sound. But the Joyo is not bad at all. I have their Vintage Phaser, its a really good copy of the MXR Phase 90. They're clearly making some great value stuff.

[@derekscanlan4641]

sweetbaby overdrive is great too

[@faustorodriguez4136]

b is the amp

[@vikramjitbanerjeetuki]

B was the amp as per my hearing,let me know if I got it right?

[@groovemonkey2498]

I think B is the amp, A is the sim pedal. They are close, but B has more upper frequency ring. If not an A vs B comparison, the small difference is not significant IMHO...

[@PlaneCrashClub]

have you considered any mods to your deluxe reverb? im sure theres some stuff you could make your amp sound even better then it already does! id reccomend a preamp tube swap. try different types of "12a" tubes in your v1 and you might get cooler tones to your ear. btw a=pedal b=amp

[@clares4714]

so how much lighter than a twin reverb is this thing?

[@edwinvanbokhoven9009]

I was very positive about the joyo, and I have one and use it as a clean platform for my (many) drivepedals. But the tones at the break up point (clean but not really, driving but not really) are still eluding me. And after listening to this blind test I can tell that I prefer 'B'. By a lot. These clips helped me understand and describe the difference between the two. 'A' sounds like there are two sounds. Clean and then shortly followed by some dirt, but it seems seperated from the clean. Not what I'm looking for. B has the smoothness I'm lookin' for. I keep searching for an amp pedal that delivers this.

[@TheDilligan]

I think B is the real amp because I know he mic'd it and there is just a little noise on that one, while the DI is noiseless. But as far as Tone, I couldn't tell you. Analog Amp Modelling as opposed to DSP, is really where it's at. I want a 100Watt amp that just has the Joyo American, British and AC built in as channels, then maybe an effect section with tremelo and real spring reverb. Then put the Cab sim on a Line Out/Headphone jack and it would be an unbelievable amp.

[@zachary963]

Get yourself a 100W solid state amp. Seriously. Solid state amps have much less character than tube amps do, which make them phenomenal pedal platforms. And then just run your Joyos into the front end.

[@TheDilligan]

@@zachary963 I have a few. What I want the character and I want to be able to get a good tone and some character on the go without bringing all my pedals. Turned out the perfect solution was the fender tonemaster deluxe, which I just got.

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

think the amp is A and the pedal is B only because I just got this pedal yesterday and the pedal does have some self noise that I wish it didn't have. I am using a pedaltrain volto to power it so maybe it needs a cleaner power supply to take the noise away.

[@SuperEffCee]

Great demo, Shane. The two sound pretty darn close. Like, crazy close. I'm hoping the pedal was "A" because, if I can get that sound for less than $40, I'm on it! Also, looking forward to hearing how it takes pedals in front of it! :-) Thanks.

[@twirlyboggs]

i find this stuff quite intriging- cool demo great tool to use and mobility but all of us that have cranked an OLD handwired small tube amp with a drummer know there is no sub (which sadly alot of guitarists prob haven't the opp. yet) my 5E3 jumpered & all dials on 11 or my buddy's old SFVC with all dials on 10 (xcept tremolo) KILLS! Play a note light and clean or strike it into poweramp distortion and yeah i have noticed how the newer simulation stuff now has this somewhat down, but there is something still not right Of course the sound quality is good enough to gig with and the flexibilty of sounds/effects + the mobility is awesome. SO all is good, we just love that power amp breakup distortion -thanks & sorry for the rave

[@geoffstorey800]

It might seem ridiculous, but I use the American Sound as my main always on ‘overdrive’ pedal into a Tone Master Deluxe Reverb. The pedal into a cheap solid state amp sounds great and so does the Tone Master by itself, but the pedal into the Tone Master sounds amazing. So crisp and clean but dirty at the same time

[@intheblues]

Whatever works is the way to go. I am sure that would sound great. :)

[@MrBossei]

A is definately the amp simulation. Lacks the overtones and clarity from the amplifier. Quite good though. Like a Line 6 simulation type...

[@eyetalic]

I hear some extra reverb--maybe it's because of the space between amp and mic. That changes the presence. Otherwise REALLY close.

[@neilbrewer]

OK I'll go the other way/ A-amp B-pedal. That's just a guess because I can't really tell!

[@timmyv694]

That's because the one the drv has that this pedal doesn't is tubes for a pedal to overdrive

[@jeffdeez1]

My guesses (I’m a drummer by the way! 🤣): A = Amp B = Pedal They are both good but A has something about the low end (could even be proximity effect from the mic) and a little more open sounding (less compressed?). I prefer the A sound but B is sooo close. If B IS the pedal, I would have dialled a touch more bottom end. The last music example, both A and B sounds are good. Very impressive either way!

[@gregmadden5474]

Not bad pretty close if B was the peddle because the sound seems to shrink if so lacks a little punch and bite but close

[@RyldodiSouza]

I wonder who the pedal and who is the hub A or B?

[@wesleycwagner]

B is the amp. I think I can hear the phasing...

[@TroyNaumu808]

Can you explain where to put this preamp pedal in your pedal chain?

[@deniscassiere]

Is the pedal plugged straight into the audio interface?

[@MrYiadi]

I think A is the amp and B the pedal?

[@Radcaster]

Both sound good, but I like B better (the amp) as it has that legit tube warmth and air that you just can't imitate with a pedal like that. A (the pedal) has no warmth at all, rather it attempts to imitate that tube response - though it does so pretty well, it still sounds flat as it's just a DI signal being affected somewhat.

[@Depuratumba]

hey, great video! I'm looking around for an option to use my guitar straight to the PA to avoid carrying an amp and these seem incredibly cheap (compared to a SansAmp GT2 for example) and also seems pretty good for a clean tone (something that I'm also looking for) I only have one question - are you using a soundcard input with a preamp? I think you are, and I was wondering how different the pedal would sound if connected straight to a mixer... any feedback is greatly appreciated! cheers from buenos aires :)

[@intheblues]

It's not quite as good as a real tube amp. the funny thing is with foldbacks the sound is coming from in front of you rather than behind. Otherwise the front of house sounds like you've got a marshall stack happening :) It sounds quite big on a decent PA system. I use it for one gig we do and no one complained about the tone :) (plus the drummer was loving it for a change haha)

[@intheblues]

I say not quite as good only in the context of performing live. For recording, it's so much better in my opinion. :)

[@PlaneTShakeRo]

@@intheblues I want to run a stereo acoustic pedalboard and I want to get these two, a doubler from tc electronic and pan them hard left and right while my acoustic is miced up in the middle. Should I get all my pedals in front or after the amp Sim and then into the PA?

I hear that A is more thick and warm, and B is brighter and a little hollower. That much is clear. Not sure which is which though.

Not sure which is which but I prefer A.

[@bluesmatt150]

Hi! I just have a question. What is the difference between a "Preamp" and "Amp Simulator" pedals? I have a cheap solid state amp (Kustom KG112) and I want to have a great tone. Should I buy a Preamp or an Amp Simulator?. TIA Great review by the way.

[@zachary963]

Preamps generally seem to be boost/drive pedals, whereas amp sims generally want to be a specific amp sound. So I’d suggest an amp sim if you know which amp you wish you had.

[@katoooq1]

Well when I want to get that DELUXE sound I'm goin for the JOYO. Any pedal that can really approximate a tube amp that well at a cost comparison that is beyond insane has opened my wallet. I cant wait to get the JOYO amp pedals for marshall, mesa boogie, standel, gibson, ampeg, magnatone, hiwatt, etc. so I'll have a whole fully stacked amp room that I can carry in a briefcase!!!!!!!! Oh Yeah baby, at what cost? probably less than a grand.

[@MoralesAdventures]

That's exactly what I did! California for Mesa, American for Fender, British for Marshall and Oxford for Orange 😍 Not sure if I'll get the AC Tone which is supposed to be the VOX. I think I'm pretty well set. This became my stacks and just use a few others, a Tube Screamer, Compressor, Delay, Reverb & Wha-Wha pedal for those few instances 😅 Love that I can get amazing sounds from just pedals that can be directly patched to a PA and it sounds like the real deal. No more amps to carry around 🤣

I have tht pedal it is good for a little more gain as well, creamy! Not enough volume on it to use as a clean boost . . .

To me, it seems like A is the Joyo Pedal and B is the Fender Amp, but only because it's more noisy and seems to catch some of the room noise. And somehow, I even prefer the A recording :)
