Good work.The Artist acoustic guitar will also be reviewed ?

[@intheblues]

@@stringrip It won't be as it's a discontinued model.

[@DjNikGnashers]

It does sound quite natural, which is exactly what I personally need form an acoustic guitar amp. The pick up in that guitar sounds horrible though, so it would be nice to hear what a good guitar, with an LR Baggs pickup sounded like.

[@rickf]

I wasn't expected to be blown away by an acoustic amp, but thing is so much more than that. Perfect for solo gigging.

[@cathaldalymusic]

Wow these sound fantastic!!! I was searching for an acoustic amp and this just popped up by chance. I think I’ve found the one I want! Thanks for another great review Shane 👍🏻👌🏻

[@christopherwatkins9729]

So many "Good" folk demoing Guitars and their accessories on KZbin ???? This is one of the BEST demonstrations I have viewed and listened to... Yes... Just bought one of these AMPs (my own assessment) with assistance of impartial advice and am pleased with my purchase... Was searching for additional factors for guidance at unboxing etc and found most helpful "Demo" just viewed... ... Nice 'Artist' acoustic guitar too and played with skills/ talent ! Thanks heaps 🤠...

[@johnkiernan287]

U have sold me one Shane, some combo, nice to see someone doin equipment justice, bless u, ❤️👏👏👏

[@century2077]

And i told myself I didn't need another amp you have proved me wrong sir. Ty

[@BryanBrett-q4d]

Same position here! Lol The wife won't mind a bit. Lol

[@jorgemiro1613]

Perfect little coffee house amp. Many features packed into a small expressive amp. Very well detailed video

[@carloverzeletti6521]

Shane I am a lefty too... I have 2 of these Amps sounds amazing in Stereo through a modeler. I have had these amps for over 3 years. For some reason I also like playing electric through these amps.

[@MrRonDear]

This is an amazing sounding amp. Awesome demonstration. I’ve been looking for a great sounding acoustic amplifier and now I’ve found it. Thanks so much..

[@CASIODIGITALPIANO]

Dear MR Ron, how is it going regarding your amp? Are you playing still on it? How it`s ballance with microphone (someone write about low vollume for microphone when playing and singing at the same time)?

[@tommc49]

August 2023: It appears on the Joyo site this has now been replaced by the BSK-80. Currently, I can not find either the 60 or the 80 for sale in the US. Joyo site not list dealers. I really wanted to check one out. Well, my Fishman Loudbox Mini is not bad....

[@dblat1291]

The USA affiliate link does not have this amp on the website. Only Swamp via ebay has this listed for sale in the USA. And even with that, it's not clear that you'd get the proper electric cord, mains power for those not in the USA. It has just about everything you'd want in an acoustic amp. I have the Boss Acoustic singer live, but this seems to have those features and then some with the battery and mounting features. Great review!

[@mesadecomesadeco5788]

Still unavailable in the US. What gives?

[@dblat1291]

@@mesadecomesadeco5788 I contacted Joyo, who sent me a reply saying they have a dealer, Pirate Traders in WA who have 4 on the way, they are selling for $459.99. I think that is a bit steep for considering what I paid for my Boss acoustic amp.

[@mesadecomesadeco5788]

@@dblat1291 YOU THE MAN! Thank you for the info, more than I knew before. The feature set on this *may* make it worthwhile at about that price, when you consider what I paid for a Lunchbox Jr. just to get a 9v out to run my pedals 😉

[@boxcarstewart311]

Geeeee-Zeus! Joyo didnt leave much out. I wasnt even looking for an acoustic amp. I got a pretty convincing patch on my Mustang. But the versatility of this Joyo is amazing!

[@MikeSantis]

I bought this a few months ago planning to use it at small venues, occasions with friends around or even busking. Great sound but as said, for small set ups. The sound will distort a bit if you try to crank it up using guitar and mic at the same time. Also the mic volume you have to crank it a lot up in order to match the guitar volume. I used a Shure SM58.

[@ericwarrington6650]

Sounds amazing Shane...great to see you demo the acoustic side of things 🤘😁🎸🎶..great sounding amp... kitchen sink included..lol

[@danielhorsley2259]

Great demo Shane! Seems like a very versatile rig. Love the jams and great job singing!!

[@jamesmoffatt6435]

Thx Shane...for someone who sais he's not a good acoustic player you played great! Every time I start itching to buy a new acoustic amp I keep coming back to this video. If it becomes available in the US again, I might just snatch one up. Again, thx.....

[@intheblues]

Thanks mate. I think, sadly, this model was discontinued from what I heard.

[@DennisJPolson]

What a great rig! I know acoustic isn’t your “jam”, but that was cool!! As always, an outstanding demo and I truly enjoyed your playing and singing, Shane. Cheers!

[@dennisperin2989]

I have their distortion pedal, cheap thought it would sound the same, i was surprised, i trade off with it & my metal muff, Speaking on electric guitar side, this thing ( Joyo amp)sounds great in the demo. Nice…👍

[@jamalabdul2009]

The main thing I got from this demonstration of this versatile Joyo Acoustic Amp is that Shane should play more with an acoustic guitar!!! Do an unplugged version of one of your albums! 👍🏾👍🏾😎😎🎸🎸🎸🎸🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🎸🎸

[@RanricoSmith]

I agree

[@SteveHart-tt7wk]

Thanks for the great review. The one thing this amp seems to be missing is a remote speaker out jack, which is crazy since it has so many other features.

[@janesimon6389]

Just received my amp, and checking the instruction booklet it states "LINE IN/LINE OUT for connecting to other amps". It's on the back of the amp.😊

[@christophervincent8420]

I am highly impressed. That is one amazing acoustic amp

[@pinheiroartur3020]

Nice demo made by someone who really plays very good….thank you

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

I really like their R series pedals, I've got the Uzi and the 10 band EQ, both have been great!

[@castleanthrax1833]

If anyone is interested, Artist guitars says the battery has a 4 hour run time.

[@OutdoorsSouthOz]

Another great video Shane, keep up the great work

[@paullewis1637]

Thanks for the great review, you did not mention how long the loops can be however, too often the looper memory is too short.

[@janesimon6389]

I think is one of the best reviews of any type of equipment that I've seen here on You Tube! Here in Germany, Joyo is pretty much an unknown brand, so I was doubtful about what the quality would be like. Here in this review is all the solid detailed information I needed to help in making a decision which amplifier is suitable for my own needs. I think the genuine enthusiasm, and the obvious fun you had demonstrating this amp, sold it to me! Not sales pitch. Solid good genuine opinion and Aussie honesty and enthusiasm. Thank you! 👍😊

[@intheblues]

Thanks for the kind words, Jane. This amp was a lot of fun to test :)

[@peterschmidt9942]

I looked at that one when I was in the market for an acoustic amp. It's great looking, 60W output, lots of effects and Joyo make some great products for the money. But at $600AU it's on the pricier side of amps from Artistguitars and because of it's size it's quite hefty. I ended up getting the Joyo AC40. It has a lot of similar features and about half the price - It's lighter - little more compact - has all the same effects except the mic channel EQ and looper (which you could use a pedal for if you already have one). But doesn't come with bluetooth (but has an AUX in), effects loop or 9V out for pedals Still a great amp if you've got the money. BTW at 10:20 I thought you were going to go into "The Beard Accessory Store" 😂🤣

[@EdBMetal]

Looks and sounds like a great product! Great review and demo 👍👍

[@laurenceellis8311]

It's pretty much a Phil Jones for guitar players... lovely piece of kit...

[@javiermunoz3658]

Good review. Just a question: Did you try a Lr Baggs Voiceprint with the 9v (500mA) DC out? It seems to be exactly the same specs, but the Voiceprint is so sensitive, I tried some power supplies other than the original, with same specs, and It had noise issues.

[@slooky14]

its too bad its not available in Canada. USA? no

[@markharwood7573]

Looks like solid kit at a competitive price. I respect the brand. As usual, though, the controls are backwards. They ought to be easier to adjust from behind.

[@shadowminister4090]

Shane: Thank you. I've seen this amp on Artist's website and thought it looked amazing. While I have an '98 Squier & Roland Cube 40, I mostly play my Art & Lutherie (Godin brand) acoustic. I don't have an amp 😟. I recall the electric amp you demoed had a drum beat function. That would be amazing on an acoustic amp like this. Getting greedy, I know. 🤓. Thank you.

[@markdakel9253]

That is an excellent acoustic rig. By far it’s the best I have seen Great playing Shane !!

[@barakados]

Sounds and looks great. I've been told that it's a really bad thing for built in batteries to play with the AC adaptor plugged into electricity. I mean, to play when batteries are charging. They say it ruins the batteries. Is it true?

[@akwamarsunzal]

Sounds awesome! I had an Artec 50 acoustic amp, that was killer! This could be a great replacement for it!

[@batitechvdb644]

Hi. Nice revue. Thanks. Do you have any idea if there is a 48v fantom power in the XLR for the microphone. I have a condensator mic. Best regards, Daniel.

[@rickhill6277]

Nice Demo Shane, does the Feedback control work with the Mic Channel too? Cheers from Salem, Ohio US.

[@tonisalic6300]

Great review! I have this amp and it's great. I'm left handed as well...has no effect on the sound 😀. Your singing sounds great! 4 hours if battery. Awsome.

[@pakujewpiwnicy6701]

Can you connect a bass guitar to this amplifier?

[@PatDeJongeSoundwise]

Great review, thanks! It seems like this amp is no longer available. They've made the 80W version now. Have you tried it? Looks very good, but 14kg for a busker....any thoughts. Cheers from Belgium!

Ok, i buy it. Thank you for your review man!

[@melvinbramhoff9160]

Nice Video! Is it possible to loop the voice and the guitar?

Would love to see/hear how this would sound with a resonator, like an Eastwood Delta 6 (with a P90 and a Piezo) ... :)

[@scottreynolds6317]

Fantastic playing AND singing!!!!! Great vid!!!!

[@intheblues]

Thanks, Scott!

[@andrewksadventures]

I'm tempted to grab one of these, but thinking of the Roland/Boss portable amps also, as could switch to electric guitar as well.

[@keithh8661]

Wow lots of convenience their, Now your gonna have ta help us pick a guitar,for all of us that have given away our acoustic guitars, lol thanks Sean 👍

[@davidmurphy4844]

Rare to hear you playing acoustic guitar and singing and you should do it more often! Sounds great and it has many features.

[@MrRonnmaui]

Nice demo! How does this amp sound with electric guitar? Sounds quite full.

[@MrRonDear]

I can’t find this amplifier anywhere for sale. Do you have a link where I can go to buy it?

[@lostreb]

First, I prefer the room mic far above and beyond the xlr!!! That statement includes with the EQ on Mic instead of through the xlr. For me? The xlr is not worth wasting my time, I'm sorry to say. Yes, I know that I typed xlr lower case, because that is because I have no use for it in this amp. I know everyone is probably tired of hearing this, but I'm SO OLD SCHOOL the "ONLY" sound for me with acoustics is if amplification is needed?? It's a "Mic" into an amp!!! (Which is probably why I own ZERO acoustics with electronics!!! I might add that my "most recent" guitar purchase was an acoustic "WITHOUT" electronics!!! And, at this point? In the foreseeable future, I see no purchase of an acoustic with electronics, no matter how hard it is for me to find a quality acoustic without electronics. Which just goes to further prove what I've said all along...It's all about what sells. Not about what people want!!) Now, about the amp? It's great for those that want to use the electronics in acoustics. Since I'm not a fan of that??? I will only say that I really prefer the sounds that this amp has with a mic more than I can emphasize (instead of xlr, which I think radically diminishes why I want an acoustic in the first place!!!). Thank you for the great demo and review, Shane. Please keep them coming.

[@smartmammal9926]

Hopefully this will be available in the US soon

[@spencer94ful]

Great review!

[@folkenbluzer]

I liked everything about it except for the unnatural sound of the guitar which often happens when you plug in. When you used the mic to sing I felt like it made it better but picking up some of the natural acoustic sound. I've heard of mic and pick up together for recording to bring out a great sound. I feel like a (excuse my terminology) directional mic for the vocals could really help bring a more natural sound. Also, you have a great singing voice !! I like the multiple types of ways you can plug into this. If I get one and it's not at the mom and pop brick and morter I will use your link to purchase 👍👍have a good day and thanks for the review ✌️

[@StarOasis26]

have you checked out the battery life on it? Can it hold a 2 hour event playing guitar for 100 people conversing during cocktail hour in thebackground? I like to put the speaker up on a stand.

[@sunriseshell]

I'm not seeing much about this amp. Pretty cool. I'd like to see it compared to the Blackstar Sonnet 60. It seems very comparable sound wise, really captures the percussive elements which is a big selling point of the Sonnet. This seems to be that amp plus more.

[@davidosbiston9699]

I have one of these and I love it. Really struggle with the looper as Im pretty sure it dosent have a quantize function even though Im pretty good with loopers. If it does can it be switched on?

[@navypti]

I bought one of these on special through Swamp in Canberra. Normal RRP is $598 AUD but I scored mine for $520. Best $520 I've ever spent. I agree with you that it has everything BUT 48v power for condenser performance mics like the Rode M2. Not a problem though. A very versatile amp but the b*****d weighs a ton!!

[@Soccernz007]

Try moving the Marshall ASD 100 around!!!🤓

[@MrSteveMy]

Yeah, I've got one and that's my only negative about it.

[@MiguelCarrascoFontan]

Hola, qué divertido es. ¿Lo has probado con guitarra eléctrica?

[@fongy200]

That's a pretty cool Amp, feature packed. I already have a Fishman Acoustic Amp but if i was out for one i think i would give one of these a good looking at. Thanks Shane 🙏 You old Crooner you.

[@peterschmidt9942]

Hey Shane, if you're going to review that guitar you might have to adjust the truss rod a bit before hand. Sounds like there's a bit of buzzing going on with those higher strings or a high fret.

[@castleanthrax1833]

I'd have to agree with you on that. Very noticeable on the higher frets.

[@peterschmidt9942]

@@castleanthrax1833 I was noticing it around the G & A positions lower down LOL

[@intheblues]

They sent me a discontinued demo guitar to help shoot the video. I quite literally just took it out of the box to shoot the video. There's no review of the acoustic coming up :). It did buzz a bit up there, but it could also some bad technique on my behalf haha.

[@ramspencer5492]

I'm really fussy about using only non-undersaddle pickups... I can't do the quack thing.... That is even hard for me to tell if this sounds That is even hard for me to tell if this amp sounds really good or not. I can tell it's not a bad app anyway...I think. I like the speakers... Does it not have an effect send?

[@reydelagarza2953]

Sounds good, but did they stop making this amp; can't find it listed anywhere. I found a similar one called Aroma, wonder if it's the same one.

[@csharpminorseven]

Nice work Shane! How would this amp take a P90 or Tele into it for clean electric guitar?

[@intheblues]

It won't sound like an electric guitar amp. It will work okay with hybrid guitars though.

[@acidbran]

Did they miss anything ? Seems well thought out.

[@blessedwithchallenges9917]

When you strum often times there is crackling. Is it the amp, or is it just your style of playing (not fully connecting with the frets)??? It's really obvious on the front end of strumming, not as much, but sometimes on fingerpicking. I don't mean to be asking a rude question... I'm more interested in if this happens with the amp, or if your playing is just evidence in the recording of a lighter touch...

[@Ian-jt2yz]

Thanks Shane for the review, I bought one of these some time ago. Your review was very informative and I have learnt a few things about the amp I did not know. I am impressed with the build quality and it sounds great. I have even on occassions plugged an electric guitar into it. Cheers

[@scarsfromdasouth]

Something new!! I like it!!

No one has any review if I want to use acoustic guitar without pick up with microphone and singing? Should I use PA or acoustic amp and which one for very small group of people?

Where can you buy this amp - USA 2024?

Hi Shane, really enjoyed this review. That looper does look like fun. You mentioned competition and I was wondering if you've tried the Fender acoustic junior, seems similar though around $100 different? Would love your thoughts. Cheers

[@intheblues]

I haven't tried that one in any great detail sorry. I remember testing a smaller Fender acoustic amp in a shop ages ago and it was fine. I have a feeling this is going to be louder, but I'd need to double check.
