Joyo Zombie II testing metallica riffs (no talking)

Signal chain:
Jackson Demmellition King V with EMG active pickups straight into Joyo Zombie II, output to Blackstar HTV 212 cab and video recorded using phone.

[@joshuamonroe4684]

Thank you for not talking. We need more demos like yours! I'm getting one of these I can't believe how good it sounds and it looks like you do t even have the gain cranked.

[@martintroy]

Thank you! This is exactly the demo i needed to make up my mind! I'm buying one!!

[@calebvalencia7979]

Well how did u like it

[@martintroy]

@@calebvalencia7979 I haven't bought one yet but i will eventually. Maybe after Christmas.

[@Yellowcard7572]

@@martintroyHow do you like it now? Pretty sure you bought one now? I’m just assuming haha, side note, I have one and it’s really good for the size and the price point too

[@HighestPower]

Thanks for posting this. Been thinking of getting the Zombie XL for a while now. I noticed you have it on a low gain setting, yet there's tons of gain. Impressive little monster.

[@masruran2002]

Yes the gain on this amp is a lot. Also the volume is very loud too. But for solos i think the sound a bit 'middle freq scoop', need an equalizer to boost middle freq during solos.

[@cocotico9997]

@@masruran2002 could I boost it with an od for solos?

[@iTxip]

@@cocotico9997 the od would be more of a "before the amp" pedal, to boost the whole signal, but you could try it. What he means is putting a eq pedal in the effects loop just for boosting the mids in solos so its more audible in a mix/live.

[@masruran2002]

@@iTxip yes EQ pedal is more suitable to boost middle frequencies.

[@iTxip]

Its a very good thrash distortion, specially for the price

[@Krashulka]

I got the jackman 2 and the zombie 2, I play them both through seperate 4x12 marshall code 412 cabinets, using a a/b/y splitter to send the guitar signal to both amps. The built in distortion channel on these amps are great, the jackman gives me a jcm sound, and the zombie gives me a mesa boogie rectifier sound. Dont be fooled by their size or 20w rating, these amps are loud as hell. I put my valve heads away and use these nowerdays, that's how much they impressed me.

[@zlobert9877]

Which of the two would you say is better for old metallica and old megadeth tone?

[@Yellowcard7572]

@@zlobert9877I think the Zombie would be the one for you especially if you’re looking for that sound

[@mikeskis7887]

Joyo bantamps are so underrated. I love my VIVO

[@waylong25]

Now try plugging a 6 or a 10-band eq pedal in the effects loop. It is really SO cool that this little amp head even has that feature.

[@masruran2002]

Yes good suggestion, but i have no EQ pedal yet, maybe I will buy 1 too.

[@rycardoantunes8152]

damn, this heavy with this amount of gain??? holy shiet

[@masruran2002]

Yes bro, i was amazed with the amount of gain and bass for this amp.

[@ROBERTSTEPHENS-vk1lr]

I have the zombie and the tweety love them both

[@SoulScavenger]

That was one hell of a demo, the amp truly delivers. Thanks for posting this. Which processor did you run your daisy chain through? I noticed some chorus and looper being used. I’m on a hunt for my next rig 🙂

[@masruran2002]

I'm not using any processors or audio interface, for the distorted/overdrive sound I'm using straight the distortion from the amp alone. But during clean tone in the middle I'm using Nux chorus and a bit of reverb. All using pedals, no guitar effect processor.

[@DavidAllenMD]

​@@masruran2002 how loud is it on a 212 I know it's keeping up with a band on a 112 and 412 the 212 is probably perf

[@azmilzakuanchannel738]

Power la tone sound Joyo ni. Mcm Mesa Boogie zaman Metallica tahun 2000 dulu ye. Pakai gitar ape tu bro?

[@masruran2002]

Betul sedap kalu utk rhythm mmg best, tapi kalu nak solo maybe kene boost mid freq kot. Aku pakai Jackson King V Phil Demmel, pickup EMG 81/60.

[@jontauer6240]

Awesome!

[@Brad143]

Head joyo zombie ii XL ni mmg power high gain, aku on volume no 1 je ,sound kuat sgt takut jiran mengamuk.

[@masruran2002]

Betul...gain dan volume banyak lagi headroom. Haha takut jiran bising nanti.

[@MobileDecay]

I was hoping this video was gonna start off with a video of you drinking ice coffee with a backpack and talking about how you and your gf like to ride bikes early in the park to watch the sunrise and the actual video was gonna take 20 minutes to actually start where the guitar part only lasts one minute and then you go back to you going back to Starbucks. Disappointed. 🤣

[@waylong25]

...What?

[@MobileDecay]

@@waylong25 I don't remember.

[@masruran2002]

Hahaa, nice one bro. Me too, i hate any review videos which has an intro duration too long..🤣

[@Brusko661]

I bought mine last two.months ago i dont know why is that there so much humming? Is there anyway that it sound like with that with no hums? Any advise?

[@goatt5867]

Buy a noise gate pedal it silences feedback from your guitar, coukd also be your guitar wiring or patch cord

[@masruran2002]

Humming could come from many sources. They can be guitar cables, pickup types, ground loop, or some times the postion of your amp correspond to our guitar. Try switch postion of your amp or use better quality guitar cables, or sometime just standing on a insulated rag or carpet can reduce the hum/noise.

[@DreidMusicalX]

I had the same problem with a Jackman II I just got. Could not figure out the problem with the help of JOYO and they needed up refunding me back money. A week later I had seen I had plugged the amp head into a battery backup unit with the same plugin as the pedals I was using. SO I plugged the amp into another outlet and pretty much problem solved. Also these little amps hate most distortion pedals. It overwhelms them. Barely using a OD pedal is about all they can handle. It also hates my Phase 90 Script pedal. But it takes delays, reverb, chorus, EQ pedal and only 1 boost pedal of the many I have works with it by Caline very well. But you probably know that by now. Still decent little amps for under $200.00. Wish we had them back in the 80's when I started playing.

[@glowskullsmedia1499]

Brother, apakah ini bisa tetap nendang jika di hubungkan ke cabinet 4x12" ? mohon di jawab. salam dari Jakarta

[@masruran2002]

Salam bro, ya saya rasa kalau di padankan dengan cab 4x12 lagi padu bunyi dia.

[@vdxxxy484]

9:03 what pedal is used there I like it a lot

[@masruran2002]

I'm using Nux chorus pedal, with a little bit of reverb.

[@azrulhanafi4578]

Untuk cabinet, berapa watt yang sesuai??

[@puffybuns2311]

Ugghhh just a transistory tone is what I heas

[@efeisik0]

🤥🥸

[@Funkfreed]

seems like this is also a monster your volume is all the way down

[@masruran2002]

Yes, this amp is LOUD...😅

[@jeffreyp1855]

I just picked up the Zombie II. It's a great amp, but I feel that it needs an EQ to tighten up the tone, but I like to play everything from thrash to doom metal. (Like Candlemass)
