Joyo AC Tone - Vox Tone Emulation & Overdrive Pedal - settings - test and review

[@Saycheeseanddie84]

One of the best sounding pedal demos I’ve ever heard. That tone, man. Excellent stuff!

[@claytoncampbell7541]

Excellent demo! This has been the question for me: how this pedal feeds into an amp. I'm sold 👍

[@howardpoulin23]

Great Job! Your demo though your amp was perfect! You showed all Fender amp owners a great pedal!

[@jaymillard8033]

Great demo, simple and o the point with great and diverse sounds.

[@jestercabrieto6526]

@Nico Bellisario it will work better on a effects loop of an amplifier,that way no coloration of the preamp,since its a preamp effects

[@pdavis122]

Nice job with the demo and playing. Thank you.

[@jeffkay2011]

Nice demo and playing!

[@judaslove9864]

Awesome demo, I love the Tom Petty style one the most.

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

+Judas Love thanks man! And thank you for whatching :)

[@DeadRoman]

Pretty impressed, i have a liverpool shipping out monday. Would like to hear direct tones instead of through the amp.

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

I have another video for that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKGrqH5jj9Cgn9E&lc=z12xhbmjyqu0ytezi04cgxbizrm3in5pid4

[@aliminjuna3932]

I hope you plugged that into the FX Loop, cause I think the Hot Rod makes everything just a tad bit more sweet. Better.

[@JosephGallagher]

Doesn't sound like he did

[@felixayala05]

:24 plugged into front of the amp.

[@Mutato1234]

Great demo! One thing I wish was the graphic of the knobs you put on screen matched the design of the Joyo pedal.

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

+Mutato1234 thanks man! That's because it is taken from the tech 21 manual. Just jeep in mind the character knob is the voice knob on the Joyo and you re all set

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

+Mutato1234 in the ongoing series on direct vs cab simulation I m using a camera to film the pedal itself! Right now there is the British sound vid out and the others are coming soon!

[@gifgit]

Great demo man, I usually use mine as a clean boost so that it just breaks up if you dig in. I will be trying the Brian May setting later XD

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

Thanks! check out the video in which I use the red special replica! these pedal are pretty versatile, everyone use them in a different way

[@gifgit]

Nico Bellisario I just watched your video with the red replica, the tone is dam close to Brians. XD

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

+gifgit thank you! but i think an experienced sound engineer could do much better with this pedal!

[@gifgit]

Nico Bellisario Maybe, but I think that us amateurs stand a better chance with these pedals because we have a lower expectation. A pro sound engineer would probably throw this pedal in the bin simply because it`s cheap and it can sound very harsh. Personally I love my AC Tone.

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

+gifgit well said!

[@marcossilva4618]

Boa tarde. Você ligou no imput do amplificador ??? Um abraço.

[@tonyb.7158]

nice and crisp these pedals are impressive. once again great reviews. did I hear some chili pepers in the mix.

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

Thank you man! Yeah RHCP are one of my biggest influences!

[@noelclores9426]

I have one of these pedal and it scream. Great review!

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

+noel clores it screams indeed!

[@justincristino122]

When i do direct recording, my is still more on treble, even though I scooped my treble, how is that possible

[@fernandoguerrero2179]

One more question, where should i place this pedal in my effects chain? The way i have it now Is: From my guitar to a EHX Crayon, then to a EHX Big Muff Pie, then to a Vox Sachturator, then to a Joyo 6 band Equalizer, then to a Boss ME70 (multieffects, that i use only for modulations and Delays, and once in a while for Distortion and wah), then to a Behringer Reverb Machine and from there to my AMP, my AMP by the way has a send/return but i've never used it... I would appreciate your answer! Thanx

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

If you want to use it as a preamp you should put it where you would put the amp! at the end of the chain :)

[@renatogondim9849]

Which setting would you indicate for a tone closer to Brian May?

[@zooropa200]

Please plau something of U2

[@renlin8925]

Nice demo! Just curious if you would be able to get the Brian May tone with one of these out of a single coil strat-style guitar that’s is wired parallel? Thanks!

[@Mr.Steve-O]

Just get a set of Burns Tri Sonics or some copies by Guitar Fetish. I’m do this with a Strat very soon myself

[@AK-pm3qy]

Hi Nico, thank you for the video. Can I run in this manner? 1) Guitar > Tune > WAh > Dirt > JOYO ACTONE > modulation pedals > PA 2) Guitar > Tune > WAh > Dirt > modulation pedals > JOYO ACTONE > PA Which one is better? Currently at home I run FX send and return for my modulations through an AMP. But when I go to a studio, I prefer direct to PA without AMP, so I want to know which one will work better. Thanks buddy!

[@notjazzmaster4307]

Heyy it’s depend on how you will use the actone if you use it as a drive also then the best choice would be before mods rev and delays and it sounds great, if you use it only as a clean platform then the second choice is a great choice also. Better to try it by yourself until you satisfied with the results, cheers🥂

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

It is mainly a matter of taste, the more drive you add after the modulation the more dirty and organic it will sound.

[@MrTom_Songwriter]

Really great demo of this pedal, and your playing is truly awesome. I am getting this pedal. Have a great Sunday!

[@elabismoylaluna6981]

How do you conect to the amp? Thanks!

[@p.schouten6597]

Seems tighter, more articulate and less buzzy at low gain than the American Sound. Is that about right? Would like more low gain demos, if you would please...

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

Yes it is a nit tighter!

[@paulfc9290]

Hi Nico, Could you tell us what equalisation did you use in your fender amp in this video? Thanxs.

[@hammill444]

I wonder---- what exactly does the voice knob do? It seems to add some gain. But how does that differ from the drive knob?

[@JosephGallagher]

It alters the midrange frequency AND adds gain before the actual gain stage/knob. So it pretty much adds gain and volume and mids

[@remoteuser65]

Putting through an amp kinda defeats the object as it's an amp sim pedal. I own all of these pedals and none of them like to go past '3 O'Clock' on any of the controls. If you keep this in mind you won't get any noise / hiss and hours of fun. Hope this helps.

[@guitareMTL]

They sound good in both ways, direct or with an amp. I don't see the problem.

[@clintonmaher6930]

guitareMTL The problem is you are playing a cabinet simulated sound through another cabinet, so you are getting a "double cabinet/micd" sound which is kind of weird

[@guitareMTL]

@@clintonmaher6930 I meant I don't "hear" the problem. I tested many amp modeler and they all sound bad through an amp, so yes you're right in general, but this one here, it sounds great both ways, amp or direct...

[@iltakkino]

Ciao Nico é stato un piacere conoscerti da scolopendra. Hai preso la melody maker poi?ciaofederico

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

+Federico Lisi Grande Federico! Anche per me è stato un piacere! Oggi dovrei tornare per togliermi dei dubbi sul pickup...Sai com'è, con 1000 in più prendo una r8. Tu te ne intendi di melody maker?

[@fernandoguerrero2179]

Would this substitute the pre amp of my amp? (I have a Marshall MG100FX) , and i would like to use this pedal as my main pre amp, would my amp sound like this? I would leave it always in the clean setting since i have od pedals, Distortion pedals and modulación, delay and Reverb. Thanks, i hope you could help me with your answer.

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

Hi Fernando, yes it would work!

[@fernandoguerrero2179]

Nico Bellisario - Guitar, Music & Stuff sorry, one last question, where shall i put it in my pedal chain? This is the way i have my pedals connected: From my guitar to a EHX Crayon (od), then into a Big Muff Pi, then to a Vox Sachturator, then to a Joyo 6 band equalizer, then to a Boss ME70 multi effects (that i basically use for modulations and Delay), then to a Reverb Behringer and from there to my Marshall Amp... So, where should i place the pre amp ? My amp also has a send/return .... Sorry to bother you with these questions

[@JohnShalamskas]

If you want to emulate an AC-30 with your Marshall, try plugging the amp-in-a-box pedal into your send/receive loop. In fact you could probably move the multi effects pedal (modulation, delay, and reverb) into the amp's send/receive loop too.

[@guitarelaxed]

Do you use a room mic in addition to the sm57? It sounds very 3D! Great playing by the way...

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

+guitarelaxed thanks! I use a condenser mic in the room and a stereo widener to make the sound more prominent

[@saurodino8459]

Nico in questo video l actone è collegato all’input dell’ampli? C è molta differenza nella resa sonora collegandolo ad un return o in diretta al mixer, scheda audio etc??

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

Ciao Dino, nel video è collegato in input all' ampli. In mixer suona molto diverso...se spulci il mio canale troverai un altro video in cui faccio una confronto tra linea diretta e casse simulate!

[@lukiebartlett]

I just have to ask; does it work like a Vox tube amp? In that it cleans up nicely when the volume is lowered? And, do you think it would sound good in a mix with the Joyo American? With one set for clean, the other for a nice, smooth crunch?

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

Hey luke, yes it cleans up when the volume is lowered but I don't know if thre response curve faithfull to a real vox. I think these pedals are meant to be used as preamps so I would not switch them on simoultaneously but rather play on or the other when you need to change osund (from clean to drive for example)

[@lukiebartlett]

Cool. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!

[@sailen7298]

hello bro, where do you put this on the pedal chain without actual amp.

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

Hey! I would put it at the end of the chain, so that would be in place of the amp. From there you can go into the computer or PA. cheers!

[@sailen7298]

Nico Bellisario - Guitar, Music & Stuff thanks bro. i will try that! cheers.

[@endriu55]

@@NicoBellisarioMusic So let's say I have all modulation, eq delay and reverb pedals in the fx loop and all dirt pedals, fuzz, od and an octaver in front of the amp meaning outside of the fx loop. Where does my Ac tone supposed to go in this case? Sorry I always mix up these things and get confused easily :D

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

Right before the amp

[@endriu55]

You're supposedly demo'ing the Joyo pedal, but you're displaying the control template for the Tech21 Liverpool !?!?!? I'd say a serious reality check is called for here .....
