Joyo Bantamp JaCkMan

I hope this video is ok. :)

[@Kruizzer]

It’s a privilege to be one of the humans that gets to listen to Dave. Many people play guitar, but not nearly as many people play with such raw passion and feeling like Dave.

[@haus05]

I agree whole heartedly

[@Nirsterkur]

I'm seconding this comment. 💪🏻

[@se2018]

Dave is the living proof that tone is the fingers, he always sounds amazing and like himself no matter what gear he is using

[@vondragonnoggin]

I got one of the new JaCkMan II XL’s coming tomorrow on the fedex truck. This was the best demo I’ve seen of this amp. Enjoyed the playing style and choice of tones to show this off. This is exactly why I’m buying it. I’m just an old school rocker and this really is a classic sound.

[@kevinvandeventer8690]

A tear for Eddie..brilliant.👍 In case you guys don't know this is Dave doing a magnificent rendition of Eddie Hazel doing maggot brain esque guitar.

[@FateVoices]

Hi Dave, just wanted to tell you that I recently discovered your channel and I've been watching loads of your vids. You're the only (yes, the only) guitar player that moved me that much in decades. This intro improv brought tears to my eyes, just had to tell you. Thank you so much! Cheers from France

[@gopork]

I loved the demo and I'm glad the JOYO has given you some recording ideas. Looking forward to them 🎶

[@321bytor]

Brilliant intro. Beautiful playing. Thank you Mr S!

[@jackclark1356]

Just got home from work and saw this. I've been transported to musical nirvana. Just what I needed today. Thanks Dave

[@richmaccario8829]

Came here for the Joyo but stayed for Dave. I'm in awe!!! Absolutely inspiring.. Thank you Dave

[@hemantakakati1103]

Man never seen a guitarist like you. You and frusciante are my guitar idols!

[@grazianohd2994]

Great play Dave. Love your expression on the Guitar

[@hanniehagebeuk9596]

You really put all your emotions in your guitar. Love it Dave! 👈😉❤🎸

[@johnnorth9355]

Just when you think things could not get any worse Dave proves beyond any reasonable doubt that no matter how hard you try you are never going to get as good as him ! Am I jealous ? No sir - I love his playing to bits.

[@davepocock3055]

Happy Friday and thats a sweet intro and a great way to end the working week…. love and health to you Dave

[@hybridnoisebloom]

Wonderful playing, Dave. Inspiring.

[@donh1642]

Bro! You are on another level. I've been watching your videos this past week after just finding this channel,... WOW! Your vids inspire me so much as a beginning player. Thank you!

[@satchfanboy]

THAT IS SO TRIPPY I LOVE IT!!! I'm definitely getting the Joyo Bantamp Jackman II first... thank you for your inputs!

[@Arwium-]

man i love your style, its really inspiring best reviews ever on youtube! you put so much passion on this its really contagious! keep up

[@MrMainbrain]

You are a fantastic guitarist! That solo really took me out there👌

[@breezyowns]

I love that you play with so much soul man! Love your videos!

[@henryatherton1654]

Wow! Has a great tone! Also I love the way the harley benton turned out :)

[@winstonsmith6999]

Just found you man. A fellow traveler told me about you and I'm happy he did. Your passion is inspiring. Its hard to not go pick up a guitar after watching you for any length of time. Keep jamming dude!

[@ThunderExpress]

Bro, that opening gave me chills, you're an AWESOME player! I already knew that, but you keep surprising me :) The amp is awesome too, i got the meteOR this month and man, that thing rocks! Keep on being awesome man!

[@meprobinson]

You make the guitar sing! Love it!

[@stevebartlett1680]

I only discovered Dave's channel 3 months back but i'm hooked , I've spent most of lock-down watching the old videos, but a massive thank you as after 30 years of playing and becoming stale you've pushed me try new tones and a brand new approach to playing ( I've even been practicing my scales again ) DAVE YOUR A LEGEND MAN !!!!!!!! ps love the JOYO sounds great with the 335 and immense with the Les Paul and when i can bear to part with one of my guitars to sell i'm going to look at investing in an Oswald strat for definite

[@400_billion_suns]

Same thing happened for me! I love Dave's stuff!

[@Malediction99]

Nice review. I like the fact that you are prepared to tweak an amp to make it sound good. Some reviewers just throw their hands up and call it crap.

[@jeremypgiles]

Great video and demo. That intro music/jam sounds epic. Awesome stuff

[@EricWilliamson00]

First time I've watched Dave... that was awesome. Seriously man, that was actually epic.

[@mikeward7367]

I have the Joyo meteOR. I don't run it through a cab (I don't have one!) but connect the effects send of the bantamp to the effects return of my katana 100/212. I can crank the tube preamp and still use the katana poweramp to dial everything from home to gig volume. It's a great piece of kit.

[@DemonKingOFFICIAL]

Love your soulful playing, sir! Keep it up.

[@davel_ggw]

Sounds great! But you make everything sound good, sooo.... lol Just wanted to mention that I saw they do have a XL Jackman II coming out which has separate controls for each channel, and adds a footswitch for the channels.

[@thedustykeratometer8570]

Dave, Today I received the “Good Gravy” sticker I ordered and gave it an awesome place of honor on my pedal board case.

[@ChillingwithMalc]

Nice review. Best video I've seen about how this thing can sound.

[@HC_GUITAR]

Lovely vibes! Nice one Dave🤘😎🤘

[@aleksandrnaroznyj3135]

Сry from the heart. . . Thank You, Dave!

[@__Anton__]

Magical sounds and skills. Just proves it’s the skill of the player, amazing sounds on your HB kit guitar👍👍👍

[@Guddler]

Wow, came for the Joyo, blown away by the intro! Awesome playing. Oh, and yeah, just ordered a Jackman 2 :D

[@jd426]

F... ing awesome. Thank you for that Dave. Love it

[@FF-so3su]

Great playing and sound again Dave👍🙂

[@prot10xd]

Dave u have so much soul for us with your music improves

[@sixstringer6074]

Dave, I believe those notes on the intro are on the fretboard. I believe thats artile 13 infringement. Just playing man, rub, rub :)

[@cjballendine]

I'm a little late to this party. Lol. I was looking into joyo heads and this popped up. Amazing playing! Subscribed!

[@portuguesebeer5069]

Hey Dave, Im waiting for your review on a Boss GT-1000! That beer and Metal be be with you! Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘

[@hadeseye2297]

With that beard you look like a biblical prophet. No wonder your music is spiritual. Thanks for playing man.

[@FretLevelMidnight]

Always a treat, Dave.

[@nikhum322]

Damn, another really, really good one, and the amp seems pretty nice also! Yep, I would buy all those intros just to kill time in my car (time just goes away listening to those!) I've got the Atomic and it' really good, and the Blujay which is good, the Jackman is on the shopping list but it wiill never sound as good as Daves.

[@WoodyNWUK]

He sells older intros and stuff on Bandcamp. Don't how much he sells cos being Dave he doesn't push it on people. You want it, you find it.

[@frankiec2765]

Hey clever Dave good afternoon from NY! This would be a good beginner amp head for those just starting out on electric guitar plugging straight into an amp. Cute little lunchbox head though. Enjoyed your vid, thanks Dave! :-)

[@vintagetone22]

i had the orange tiny terror oh boy was that loud it did compete with my marshall volume wise.had a 12ax7 inside .but was loud for home use by the time i got the volume to 3 its was too loud.but nice amp if you can turn the volume up same with the joyo. oh nice video dave .keep rocking

[@RandyFricke]

Nice jam Dave. I have one of the new 2 channel models mounted to a pedal board. I removed the handle and mounted the foot switch on top. I switched out the stock tube for a EHX 12AX7 I had on hand. Plenty loud for gigging.

[@samratkundu8737]

Which Cab do you pair in live ?

[@tomdameek]

Dave I have one and I had the same issue with the low end. I put in a better 12ax7 and it’s much better. The clean is better too. I don’t use it as much as I should as I have the Kat 100. But it really rocks.Fantastic review as usual. 😊❤️👍

[@jayfender4486]

Hey, tried unsuccessfully to find info on the Kat 100. What is this, so curious, thanks!

[@tomdameek]

@@jayfender4486 It’s the Boss Katana 100 amp. 👍😊

[@lonpollard902]

I have to wonder what voltage the tube is being run at. I remember pedals that would run an ax7 at low voltage, in which case it isn't actually operating as a tube, and is decoration more than anything else. Though there were some pedals that operated the tube(s) at sufficient voltage.

[@horatius22]

Awesome playing! Awesome demo!

[@akwamarsunzal]

Well done Dave! Nice honest review, finally!

[@jeflammering5620]

We in the netherlands call it master that means you are awsome and great great Dave the solo, s was beautifull thanks for the inspration thanks Dave

[@howardpoulin23]

I’m probably old enough to be your dad, I love the way you play your guitar.

[@baldanddangerous1572]

i hope there are no long sustained distorted A chords lol lol lol..............absolutely astounding intro dave ,one of the best ive ever heard,i tell you straight dave ,when this virus is over and we are all back to normal.i will be making a long journey from the west coast of scotland ,to hear you play live ,and you can take that to the bank oh damn it unintentional movie copyright infringement lol.................................dougie

[@riverman6655]

I have a 5watt pure tube amp that has just gain, tone and volume....I find my old 70s DOD analog delay straight into it gives an incredible tone without reverb at all...

[@Briansgate]

Always wanted one of these, but, I have an Orange Micro Dark, so I'm ok. Great intro!

[@RaulRieraS]

Man this video is the definition of way beyond okay ❤

[@jgmeals]

Jesus Christ!.. I'm going to lay down and take a nap after watching this Bravo!!

[@santiimelio4192]

A few months ago I bought a couple of Joyo pedals, an OD and a Chorus. Cheap, but very good sounding, the OD sounds just like tube screamer. Underestimated brand in my opinion.

[@jaimeeugeniomunoz8323]

Oh my gash that intro was In cre di ble!!! That guitar cry, sing and screams out your soul (the red Simpson guitar and of course the red Oswald) :)

[@redroverthefngamecat]

Goose bumps while watching that intro.

[@400_billion_suns]

You're something special Mr Dave :)

[@davidwiese9866]

Hi Dave, you are such a huge inspiration! When you play loud, do you pay your neighbours not to get annoyed and call the fuzz? :-)

[@thedavesimpson]

I film when there out but there AWESOME people. :)

[@dbsound882]

Cool Dave I just looked at these amps from 150-175. There are 7 models with 7 colors is your s the 'Firebrand" or "Jackman"?Great video you can make any amp sound good.

[@The_Macaroon]

Clue is in the title

[@RockyFranklin]

Great tones coming from the Joyo sounds very similar to the Orange Micro .A lot players won’t come down to the Joyo level they make some great stuff. I have the British pedal which would help voice the amp big time.For the players out there with a Katana mate the Joyo British for a solid Plexi tone. Great demo and over the top playing as always

[@Luckianmet83]

who broke your heart , who, who......we must thank him for the soul breaking music that comes from those fingers. Man, this is the music I also want to be able to play.

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Sounds beautiful bro

[@paulmenard6219]

Ridiculously tasteful player… i love the Joyo line of amps for really solid mid volume tones… very cool sound. More like a Plexi than a JCM but yeah… i get the vibe…

[@cchavez248]

I do believe that Joyo has a new line of these that have 2 rows of knobs and you can switch between the channels on the new ones... Gotta go to the web page and check that...

[@wickscape1]

how the hell do you get those delays ,,that was mind blowing

[@cyb3r3vil30]

I could hear a little Robin Trower Mixed with David Gilmore threw in some Stevie Ray look out for the Music Corp Cop's Great Playing as always TFS Enjoyed! $t@y $@f3 ... 😷

[@auntjenifer7774]

I was gonna get one of these but after many reviews I came to the conclusion that this amp won't work with me pedal board either and that's why I didn't buy it, but don't fret, I got a new toy any how, I got an old James brown 5150 fame peavey Bravo all tube monster 3 channel amp for $100 off Craigslist and it's way better more tone than my jcm head unit so it's great, just not powerful enough on its own ! PS Dave Simpson,I really liked the clean channel sounds of your joyo, it's sounds just like an old jcm head set to clean gain and it's really does sound authentic and even better with light reverb !

[@metal_only_no_trash_please1525]

Oh my god that intro is heavenly

[@tom.guitar22]

that intro jam 😵😍

[@ignaciobustamante6477]

my friend, between the jackman (or any other bantamp) and the orange micro terror, which one do you think is better?. I know they simulate different amps. But like an amp for itself, which one would you recommend? I want it to rehearse in my house and do small gigs in pubs and rehearsals with my band. Thanks!!

[@raulacevedo-esteves9493]

Way more than OK, superb!

[@shughy1]

How many other people kept reaching for their phone thinking a message just came in? 🤔😂. Great review, and savage playing, it sure seems like a lot for the money

[@PeterDad60]

I play every day and every night. Dave has shown me that I am not alone! I don't record or video my sessions. maybe I should and post them on my channel. Don't go there yet because what I have is from 2013 right after messing up my left hand and my playing is not so good. Also I was just getting back into playing after having given up because of neck and spine injuries. Which have through years of yoga finally stopped hurting me and I can hold a guitar and use a strap once more. I play violin and viola too but my injuries still won't allow me to play them for more than 10 min. once a week. Pain comes and puts me into the bed with ice. I used to take pain pills under Doctors guidance. I stopped that and I'm glad I did. So yes, Dave Simpson is showing us all that we can live for guitar playing.

[@400_billion_suns]

Sorry to hear what you've gone through, but also so glad to hear of your improvements! Keep on playing! :)

[@RichardOfYork1967]

Great vid Dave , dont like to single out any particular piece you play as theyre all great but am going to:D , 17:55 mins to 18:30 , loved it 😀 👍, no scratch that , theres loads of it i thought was brilliant

[@fernandonichols7168]

Nice to see you upbeat after yesterday. Having said that.... I can feel an under the bridge claim coming up. Nice intro on the clean, a little bit too much compression for my liking

[@Bengrindell92]

Yes Dave, this inspired me to torture my trem bar whilst bending and it's now my new favourite thing to do :)

[@geoffreydias4960]

the sound is amazing. after the tone city golden plexi v2, you're going to make me buy this deadly little amp head. you use it with a cab of 4 speakers? with 1 speaker, is it worth it? thank you anyway.

[@colinjackson3662]

Just for fun, a while back, and being a big Star Trek original series fan, I bought Bantamps in Trek colours: JaCkMan - red - engineers/security BlueJay - blue - science MeteOR - yellow - navigation/captain ZoMBie - black - Klingons Sad, I know....🤣 Oh, and into an 8 ohm 2x12 they work (with an attenuator, for home use - 'cos yeah, these things are pretty loud when cranked! ) and the clean channels can work for acoustic gtr practice at a pinch😜

[@truthsayer81]

Hey Dave, I’m just getting back into guitar after 17 years away and pretty stoked to see someone as obsessed with frusciante as I have been most of my playing time, although your much closer to him in terms of skill than I am. Just wanted to see how close do you think you could get to replicating his tone with the Jackman? I noticed there’s definitely some frusciante solo style influences in the intro, sounds pretty cool dude

[@thedavesimpson]

I'm not sure to be perfectly honest. I'm sorry.

[@truthsayer81]

@@thedavesimpson I’ve been thinking of trying this one but I’m pretty sure he’s using a silver jubilee and a plexi in different states of blending. All good man, love the channel and the passion anyway, thanks for the content

Now that the Joyo Jackman II got the foot switch, I´ll get one, much based on your opinion (and past expeririance of th BantAmps) I´ve got the Atomic (Vox) and the BluJay (Fender) and they are both pretty good, but the Jackman is what I?ve shoud have bought in the first place...
