White Chedder sounds suspiciously similar to Back in Black by AC/DC . . . I like it!

[@Mark761966]

The world needs more songs about cheese.

[@bloodbought1]

I just got home from my first rehearsal with this pedal. I am stunned by how great it sounds with my rig. (Palomino V32 head into a custom 2x12 cab with WGS Veteran 30 speakers.) It sounds really big, fat and round with tons of sustain and not a hint of graininess in the top end. My bandmates loved it too. Thanks again, Hanning. I really wouldn't have given this pedal a second look if it hadn't been for your demo.

[@DjGrizzlyPaws]

Really nice Brit amp type sounds with a lot of variance. Nice! Well worth experimenting with

[@angbernardo]

Excellent demo. Very informative about how the pedal works in different applications. Thank you

[@nunyabidniss3827]

Man, I love your reviews, by far some of the best on You Tube, a Class act man. and always great gear. You show all the sounds achievable with the gear you review, and some humor as well Ty sir!!!

[@Tmidiman]

Nice demo! This pedal works great going into my mixer. I haven't sent it to an amp yet, but I'll most likely send it into a flat fender emulation.

[@t-boog2173]

Thanks for ur reviews but PLEASE stop with that loud background music or lower it down more. It's very distracting and makes it hard to hear what ur saying. So many make that same mistake

[@EytschPi42]

Hi Francisco, thanks for your question. The British True Tone is a pretty good solution for classic rock, it will give you that AC and Led Zeppelin Sound without a problem. You don't need a lot of Gain but definition and dirt. it will give you that. As an alternative you might want to check out the HOT PLEXI (I have a demo video of that one) is has more gain, but also gives you a great classic rock sound. The DELUXE CRUNCH (check the video) can give you several levels of gain for classic rock !!

[@joeybaima5139]

This Pedal Is Very Flexible. GET IT !!! Ive Had All Their Pedals, Got Rid Of Of Few And Kept A few. This Is A Keeper, totally !!! Many, Many Tones. I Also Run My Distortion pedals Thru It At Times And Man It Rocks !!! I Run Everything Thru The PLX8, Another Awesome Product. Tone Options Are Endless. Rock On !!!

[@ArcangeI]

Thank you so much for your review. I was tired of finding reviews on this pedal and people only playing blues licks.

[@RandyFricke]

These budget effects manufacturers have really decoded these units. This is a $30(USA) pedal! I bought from Thomann so shipping was another $25 but I'm not losing any sleep over it. I run it on a pedal board with a Moorer Baby Bomb 30. This is an awesome pedal. I also have two of the Joyo British Sound pedals. Same circuit as far as I can tell. Several years back I had a Marshall 1987X Plexi that I slammed a DOD 250 into the front end with so it was all juicy EL34 power tube distortion. A "one trick pony" to be sure, but to this day I compare all of these "Marshall In a Box" pedals against that tone. I would be willing to bet that a blindfolded "Pepsi/Coke Challenge" would reveal that you would be hard-pressed to tell the difference. This little jewel is that good. Solid build. True bypass. Nice, dead quiet foot switch. Very tweak-able. Get one before Harley Benton realizes what they have and doubles their price!

[@EytschPi42]

Hi Timorthy, since it is a modeller asnd can be used in direct mode as well, it might work better with a solid state amp than other pedals... I would most certainly try it... but here are also some nice 1 Watt Amps on the market that will give you that AC/DC sound.... like the Blackheart Killer Ant...

[@photoworld9816]

Hello, recently, in a concert, I saw a guy playing with a small pedal bord (a Wha, 2 overdrives, 1 phaser and a Tape ECHO) and at the end the sound was comming from a MARSHALL JCM 900 and aFender Twin Reverb (in parallel). The sound was awesome. I wonder If I could mimic this set up with the british and the american true tone from JOYO/BENTON. I already have the American True Tone and I love it...

[@AddRien08]

You got great feeling! Nice playing! You are also a very positive! Congrats!

[@masterlangley3869]

Great video. I was just convinced to order this pedal from joyo since I'm in the states. Thanks for the great review.

[@EytschPi42]

You're welcome!

[@EytschPi42]

The ultimate drive might also work, it gives you a power amp distortion sound with nice compression... or use the vintage overdrive (Tube Screamer) to boost the British...

[@unclegiggler307]

keep up the good work,love your reviews

[@mauriciotav]

I like so much your videos man! You made me buy a lot of joyos pedals, now it's like addiction hahaha! Hugs from Brazil!!

[@aaronsg71]

I'm trying mine now thru my Peavey VTM 60, not quite getting the sound I want, but I'll try it thru my Valveking heads clean channel, tweak away! You have the best videos man! Cheers from New York State!

[@EytschPi42]

yes, you can, but you Need an Audio Interface and it will Sound like the Demo at the end of the video, there you hear the direct signal. You might get better results if you use a speaker simulator in garage band or guitar rig. Guotarbrig doesn't have a built in recorder, so you can just use it as a speaker sim.

[@EytschPi42]

True Bypass routes the input Directly to the output if the pedal is not engaged or has no power, so it pretty much is like a patch cable, the True Tone pedals don't have True Bypass so without power the signal will not go through. It is said that TB degrades the signal less when the pedal is off.

[@urkosarasola6459]

Hi. I would like to know if I can replace my overdrive pedal by this one. Does it work well with a noise gate?

[@EytschPi42]

it does get quite clean... not sure if it is what you are looking for, also highly depends on your amp sound!

[@timothyd9298]

Hi, thanks for the advice, really appreciate it! I know a new amp is the real solution but Ill probably pick up a pedal until Im sure Ill make it beyond the bedroom! I really like the sound of this pedal so will pick one up. Should I avoid non modelling pedals like the Vintage OverDrive (which sounds amazing!)? Thanks again!

[@Gerardo.GarciaGarcia]

Hi!!! What about your setup of the amp? It's at 12' clock? Nice work in all your videos. Saludos desde México!!!

[@Saycheeseanddie84]

You are the Tone King of KZbin

[@potatohead5309]

I grabbed one on a whim (joyo) and yes, it does AC/DC to a tee. But if you go light on the gain and scoop the tone stack you can come close to a clean HiWatt sound, then throw your rams head bmp in front, appropriate echo etc.. after and get a really decent David Gilmour lead sound. No regrets on this one, unless guilt for not buying the original, but rather a far east copy.

[@anonymousanonymous1314]

Have you ever tried running 2 of these in parallel? I have an AC Tone and I'm toying with the idea of running a British next to it.

[@dijamduohih2369]

May I add that placed after the gainiac, It can bring a lot of lows that the gaignac takes out (too much in my opinion).

[@josephhamer9680]

I have the American Sound and i love it. In your opinion, does this pedal get close to the jcm800 sound?

[@craigjenkins6917]

Hi, great videos. Do u go into the guitar input on the front of the amp or use the effects loop for the british? Surely going into the guitar input will result in stacking 2 preamps? Many thanks

[@xxxpanchoxxx1]

thanks so much for your help. i will buy the ultimate drive. About the british and the ac tone im not very sure wich one to choose Bye

[@EytschPi42]

I am sure you can get the high gain sounds, the amp just needs to be clean and have a full round sound...

[@davidbergewaytogo]

Hi, I was playing with the British Sound straight into my Fender Blues Junior and was getting great tones, however I am having problems finding it's place in my current pedal board... I tried putting it at the end of the chain, just before the amp, but it does not seem to work properly : it sucks tone and high-end like crazy! Should I treat it like a regular pedal next to my current overdrive(s), rather than using it at the end as if it was an actual amplifier? Thanks for your time!

[@EytschPi42]

Well, I set the amp as neutral as possible, but you can always hear just the clean sound, so that should be your baseline... if your amp sounds tinny or has too much bass or not enough, your pedals won't sound good. As I said, check the video entitled FIVE AMP COMPARISON, you can clearly see how bad some amps sound with pedals, even though they sound great by themselves...

[@EytschPi42]

Depends on your amp.... but the Deluxe Crunch is very flexible...

[@addictedtogear]

Are these pedals true bypass? I mean can I plug a British sound and an american sound together and switch between the two for different amp sounds?

[@xxxpanchoxxx1]

Thanks for the answer. How about the ac tone? or the ultimate drive? y have money to buy 2 pedals. cheers from Chile

[@lewis9510]

Ur group make a good song, I really like it.

[@spiderdave6]

Hello, Great videos,thanks for all your Demo's, If anyone could tell me what is the difference between, True by pass and Bypass, what is the difference .Thanks

[@timothyd9298]

Hi, great sound! Ive wathed all these vids and the Joyos sound amazing for the cash. I have a solid state amp, yeah I know I'll never achieve the ACDC tone Im after but Im only a bedroom enthusiast on a budget! Will this pedal work well with a solid state? If not what would? A crisp crunch is what Im after. Thanks!

[@MrJpat1]

Been planning for a pedal board. Just bought this pedal today and it sounds awesome. Could you help me out on what pedal combination goes best with this cool pedal. I want to have an AC/DC-Led Zep tone with this british sound pedal as my base. Thanks

[@EytschPi42]

The amps settings will only matter if you are using the same amp, otherwise you can't recreate that same sound anyway... I have a video showing five amps with three pedals and you can see how different they sound. Reverb is never added with the amp, if there is Reverb on the video it has been added later.

[@EytschPi42]

British or AC Tone would make the most sense for you... if you ae putting it in front of a tube amp I would even recommend the Deluxe Crunch for that kind of sound...

[@benasslick67]

I wonder how these sound in the effects loop of an amp.

[@MrManWest]

Hi, i'm deciding to buy a British Sound or a Deluxe Crunch pedal. i always want a tone that similar to Orange amp.What should i choose?

[@bloodbought1]

I hope you're getting paid or getting some sort of gear deals from Joyo/Harley Benton. I'm pretty sure I need one of these now. Most of the other demos of it I've seen of it are pretty underwhelming.I like that your guitar is in tune, you know how to play, and the amp is very well miked and you know what you're talking about. If I had to make a request, it would be that you do a few more demos using your PRS SE One. A friend of mine and I are both P90 fanatics. NICE job!!!!!

[@EytschPi42]

Sadly, the true tone pedals from Joyo are the only ones that don't have true bypass, but you can still chain them together.... True Bypass is more something for purists if you ask me...

[@xxxpanchoxxx1]

Hi!!! i need to sound like a classic rock bands, acdc, zeppelin, etc. What pedal do you recomend

[@EFR825]

Would I be able to record this straight into Garageband or Guitar Rig?

[@brzokucam]

Great job man. I wish you have done more pedal (and amps?) reviews using Fender stratocaster (for us bluesy fricks). I have Bugera V22 and some Joyo pedals (vintage OD, EQ, Digital delay and Copressor) but still have troubles with finding good and lasting solo tone (and of course SRV sound) Some advice would be apreciated ;) I'll keep waching your videos. Cheers !

[@sneadmc]

Can you get the "brown sound" from this pedal ?

[@jurgenneudeck86]

Hallo und guten Tag Ich bin der Jürgen aus München und eure Musik von Shadows Mignon ist echt stark . Habe mir eine CD gekauft und dort fehlt leider der Song with Shadow Da ich auch mit der Gitarre auf der Spur bin, würden mich die Tabs des Songs interessieren. Besteht da eine Möglichkeit diese zu bekommen ? Vorab erstmal herzlichen Dank Mit freundlichen Grüßen Jürgen Neudeck

[@hassekarl]

Hello! Which truetone pedal would you recommend to me. I play a broad spectrum of rock music but most older Blues rock like Ac/dc and Led Zeppelin. I'm thinking of buying the American sound but i have no chance of testing it before buying it!

[@brzokucam]

I did, they sound very fine. Maybe isn't bad idea to let us know your amp settings (which I find very important) while you demonstrate some pedal? You know..mids, bass, treble, reverb..

[@brzokucam]

I've cheked it and..ok, some amps sounds neutral, some lighter (Egnater) some sounds muddy (Engl), and of course, the Ultimate drive sounds different..BUT! Can it just be solved with an EQ pedal?

[@TheSirmatthew]

Would this be good for 80's rock?

[@EytschPi42]

NO, I think you could still use the vintage overdirve, even to boost the British True tone with it...

[@adriansjahsam7314]

Damn good job imoa. Dig the White Cheddar. Just bought this pedal. But the pedals purple not pink ha....now i just need a green pedal. Merci mec.

[@DelReiRock]

Is this pedal made for connecting directly in speakers? Or should I connect it at amplifiers input?

[@EytschPi42]

It can do both... direct it sounds OK, but in front of an amp it sounds amazing !

[@riciy]

is it really true bypass? cause my american truetone isnt..

[@kcir3r3av3r]

can I use this together with the american sound at the same time?

[@EytschPi42]

Hi Felix, Sorry, no tabs, but I added a link under the video... It is the full album. This is fully legal, since it is MY album. please don't share, the people who find this video can download it... WHITE CHEDDAR is one of the songs... as to how to play it... use your ears and see what I am doing in the video... loads of chromatic stuff going on, that much I can tell you.

[@Cpt935]

can you send me a link of the song or the tabs please?

[@MadanzaBand]

good review

[@EytschPi42]

nope, it is not true bypass, that was a mistake on my part, all the true tone pedals, all four of them, are not true bypass, but I noticed too late, all the other HB and Joyo pedals however are.

[@Rambo29]

nice demo - what amp did you use?

[@davidbergewaytogo]

Mine gets pretty noisy, guess this is not a quiet pedal... how about yours?

[@munetmbsc]

So, what's new with you?

[@jhefflopez9550]

how i can use the british if I use over, delay?? the britsh in the end?? or before the delay?

[@EytschPi42]

drive always BEFORE delay and reverb !

[@claytonmoss1]

So what amp was you plugged into and was it on the clean channel and is it ok to do that if this pedal has a speaker simulator built in? Thanks C

[@EytschPi42]

Wether it is cool to do that with a pedal that has a speaker simulator, just listen and decide for yourself. As for the amp, the whole setup is described in the video.

[@claytonmoss1]

EytschPi42 yeah missed that , thanks I use this ,well a JOYO all the time without an amp on small gigs, think i tried it in the fx loop once and it was'nt that great ,compared to the Amp a Bugera V 22 ,I'll try it in front sounds great on your demo

[@qmero2461]

you play awesome

[@scorpionguitar]

Can I use either this pedal or Californa Sound, AC Tone, or even Boss FBM-1 Direct to mixer? (For a while) It's just I do not have an amplifier yet. Thank you!

[@EytschPi42]

Don't know about the BOSS, but you can use those Joyos direct into a Mixer... check out the new IRONMAN Amp Simulators (all five are on my channel), you can also use those DIRECT !!!

[@scorpionguitar]

EytschPi42 Thank you! I will check them out!

[@RcvPage]

Where can I buy that Shadow's Mignon record with "white Cheddar"?

[@EytschPi42]

it is not released yet

[@EytschPi42]

you can go to www.therecordlabel.net and buy it in the SHADOW'S MIGNON digital 3 pack

[@EytschPi42]

surely does...

[@TroyNaumu808]

A very nice guitar. the pedal is not bad either. They sound better with a DI-Cab Sim pedal like a Moorer Radar.

[@brzokucam]

I know what you mean but - there must be some "reference sound" you are up to? (maybe cleanish.."all at 12" settings etc..?) So we can set our amps to.. let's say..similar ? Btw, I've looked all videos here, and keep lookin' ;)

[@soulagent79]

Got my third pedal today. So amazing. People are going to think you must be exaggerating until they have tried one themselves. Take it to a gig, take it to the studio, play it at home with headphones - always an amazing amp sim.

[@scorpionguitar]

One more question: Could I add some analog pedals before this Joyo before it send all to the mixer? I mean, to use it as an amplifier. E.g. Guitar -> Overdrive/Distortion -> Chorus -> Delay -> Joyo British Sound -> Mixer.

[@EytschPi42]

I think you can do that, but it won't behave like a tube amp!

[@scorpionguitar]

The only thing I need for now is to be able to perform without an amp. This is a very good priced and useful pedal so I want it cuz this emulates an amp is not one. Also I do not want to spend money in multi-effects as Boss ME 80 or Digitech (Money which I do not have for now) However if you advise me to buy a multi-effects better than this amp emulation pedal. I'd do so. I'm bit confused now. I hope you can help me.

[@EytschPi42]

Camilo Serrano I would say you should try it... Multi Effects also don't behave like Tubes and don't really like other pedals... the Joyo is not expensive, so get it and see if you like it.

[@lothar34]

I have this pedal and it's not bad at all. For direct recording at the end did you use any kind of cab sim at all? Or is that supposed to be built-in to these pedals? I'm thinking it's not, but I'm not certain. All I know is that when I direct record with mine with a cab sim (I use ADA GCS-3), it sounds very full and convincing, but direct to the audio interface with no cab sim, it sounds pretty flat. Tweaking the EQ helps but it still won't get as full sounding as it does w/ cab/speaker simulation. This isn't a set and forget pedal though (unless you always use it for one purpose). Depending on whether you use it as a stomp box in front of a clean amp, or into a power amp, or direct, the EQ will have to be adjusted quite a bit to achieve what you want, but it's in there.

[@EytschPi42]

The do have cab sim built in... not my taste, but for the price pretty awesome... nothing really sounds like a miked amp when plugged in directly... so all things considered these pedals really deliver !

[@lothar34]

EytschPi42 I did a little more research after posting this last week and you are exactly right- they do have a built-in cab sim. It's always on- which is the only thing that makes this different than the Tech21 Character it's supposedly based-on. On the that one, the sim can be turned off when using it in front of the amp as a pedal. So this Joyo is meant to be used direct into the loop rerun of a real amp, or DI. I've gotten ok sounds putting it up front, which is why I thought it didn't have a cab sim. A good box though, that can be stacked w/ a better cab sim or mic'd out of power amp to sound even better. I'm gonna add the American Sound next I do believe.

[@stefanobattaglia690]

the name of the song from 7.30 tanks

[@dijamduohih2369]

Wow, bought it and placed it in front of my mooer little monster AC. Crap, it sounds like a great amp for 230€! It really brings a particular sound and keeps the warmth of the tube amp. I'll get the american one I think! sounds much better than the tube head alone.

[@napalmhardcore]

Is the Harley Benton branded version the same as the Joyo version? The reason I ask is because when people talk about the Joyo branded version, they only ever talk about direct recording and not about running into an amp. I'm currently a bit obsessed by pedals that aim to simulate amps and preamps in general. I've been trying to discover as many as I can. I don't know how this would stack up against some of the more expensive pedals (Wampler, AMT, Sansamp etc) but for price vs quality, the Joyo pedals seem amazing.

[@EytschPi42]

These really do Sound Amazing. I am generally not a big fan of direct recording because it just doesn't sound like an amp... some get close, like these Joyo's, but there just is nothing that compares to a tube amp in feel. The clearly sound great In front of an amp as well.

[@napalmhardcore]

EytschPi42 I'm a big fan of gear that performs above what its price tag suggests. I think a couple of HB/Joyo pedals will be making their way into my shopping cart very soon. BTW, I really enjoyed the video :)

[@EytschPi42]

napalmhardcore Nice to see you on my channel... please come back ! Much more cool stuff coming !

[@napalmhardcore]

EytschPi42 I've ordered the American sound and the AC-Tone. Do you know what amperage the power supply needs to be? I might have something suitable at home but cannot find any info on the net. I'll be interested to see how these play with my Zoom pedals (G5 and G2.1U). I've also recently bought my first tube amp, so it will be exciting to give these a try. BTW, I subbed :)

[@salad5150]

I do have a question about these pedals and that is which one is the most versatile ? Clean to scream ?

[@salad5150]

Patrick Kellingsworth I really like your reviews btw. You got chops.

[@EytschPi42]

Patrick Kellingsworth Thanks ! I really like the American... very creamy fat sound... the British is more BITY... just watch the videos and that should help you to decide !

[@dickgitaar2012]

+Patrick Kellingsworth I prefer the American Dream, most versatile

[@50j0urn3r]

Back in Black :D

[@EytschPi42]

sure, can't see why not!!!

[@mattterrell4304]

"Please use headphones" *turns high up all the way and blows out eardrums*

[@EddyDarkNightmare]

I use it for my main dist tone 😆

[@theelectrichobo829]

Best song about cheese I've heard ....pedal is good to ..looks like I'm ordering one of those soon as well.

[@EytschPi42]

AC tone for classic rock... could work.... why not, but the ultimate drive is a great pedal... no question, that will also get you the sound you need... very wide and fat... it give you a power amp distortion sound, which is what those bands had back in the days...

[@izinstituta1286]

Man, help please. I need your opinion. Which pedal is best for classic rock sound with chunky rhythms and singing leads? British, California or American sound?

[@EytschPi42]

Singing Leads would be the American, great rhythms sounds... hmm.... british, or the Crunch Distortion or the Deluxe Crunch from Joyo.... or the brand new Ironman LITTLE BLASTER has a killer rhythm sound....

[@izinstituta1286]

EytschPi42 Thank you very much! Very fast response! Which you like using the most?

[@EytschPi42]

The Perun's Thunder I like the American for creamy leads... I don't like the California. British is great for classic rock !

[@izinstituta1286]

Thank you again! Keep making those awesome reviews ;)

[@izinstituta1286]

Shit man, I can't decide. All of them are good. Just tell me what to buy xD

[@givenbutalreadytak3n668]

Awesome

[@EytschPi42]

Yeah, I know... for a great solo sound you'll have to spend more money and buy a Jetter pedal... they are absolutely killer.... check out my videos fo them...

[@freddyc.d2536]

Hi, brother if plug direct to the mixer to play live. my delay and chorus pedal is after or before British TrueTone?

[@AdamJameslaveaux]

generally - modify the tone then add to it. so after.

[@EytschPi42]

Adam-James laveaux Chorus can go before the drive, delay should go behind it !

[@freddyc.d2536]

thanks guys, I really appreciate the help.

[@EytschPi42]

Not sure, but for the money it is sure worth a try !

[@VintageLeftyGuitars]

EytschPi42 uh oh... I have a Line6 Spider II 75w modeling amp... not gonna work??

[@EytschPi42]

BattleRapBlog Sure the pedal will work, but a silos state or digital amp behaves differently than tubes and usually doesn't sound quite as full.... but as I said... the pedal is cheap, so try it!

[@aekole2]

It will work surely ...but almost surely it wont sound as good as through a Tube amp...But tubes amps usealy are x2-x3 times at least the money of a modeling amp....so its natural...the same goes for the guitar...a 800 euros guitar will sound surely better than a 200 euro one

[@joebobhenrybob2000]

Xavier Santos ...and if you want to give your solid state amp a marshall-y tube channel theres the victory sherrif pedal

[@csicharly]

sounds better than my 50€ Marshall jackhammer...
