The meteor

[@judgeguywilliams8064]

that was not turned all the way up I use a Marshall 4x12 cab and I turn it all the way up I have both the MeteOR & ZoMBie Question Gibson now owns Mesa Boogie can they go after JOYO for cloning a Mesa Boogie ???

[@Kyle7K]

I just ditched my Mesa 2:90 with either triaxis or Rectifer rackmout preamp with a marshall 4x12 to use a Joyo Zombie with a home made 2x12 for touring. The sound is just as good, just as big, and it's kind of an opposite "wow" factor. Used to be "wow, you have a sweet mesa/marshall setup" now it's "Wow, you get THAT sound out of that little thing?" It's a tiny Rectifier lunchbox, but it carries a big fuckin sandwich.

[@joelcraig6416]

I have four of them. The metOR, JaCKMan, BlueJay and AtomiC. They match up great with the Stage Right 1X12 vintage 30 open back cab. All take pedals great. Put delay and reverb in the loop and put the the Nobels ODR mini and a Joyo Taichi to make the sing. I have two favorites, the BlueJay and metOR. All are great.

[@gvtshorts2024]

Awesome review TTK! I like the VIVO, it's got the squeals Edit: and a nice clean tone

[@trushack]

Best all-around for me was the Jackman. For dirty tones alone, I liked the "Orange." I think good boost, or even a compressor with a good hit of volume dialed in, would wake up some of those lower gain models. I feel like those type of amps need a little bit of speaker break-up to really get going sometimes. But hey, for the price, they all sound really good!

[@djentgod]

I like how the color light reflects on the guitar. And also a very informative demo.

[@BenBollinger]

Nice review. Love the bass and drums so we can hear what they sound like with a band.

[@MrTroy808]

I like MeteOR (Orange) & AtomiC (Vox).

[@SyzygyEmbrace]

I got the Meteor and it rocks, I change the stock tube to a better quality one and the tone got even better after that

[@The-Cringe]

What tube have you took for a change?

[@ronnymuir]

I've been indecisive over choosing which one of these to buy however thanks to your reaction to the meteOR, i've decided on that one. Thanks!

[@garygamble1963]

Hi TK. Really liked the Blue Jay. It gives you a good baseline for a high gain sound for those legato licks with a pedal or 3 in front of it. The Vivo really surprised me (in a postive way) which is unusual as I'm not a huge high gain user. Great vid from a decent guy. P.S. Someone in the comments section mentioned a Boss Katana. I agree entirely. They're awesome value and great tones for sure.

[@chatter7653]

[@zigzagbigbag]

That's hilarious...I thought the amps were further away and bigger until he reached over and I realized they're much smaller than I thought lol. Talk about spacial illusion.

zigzagbigbag yeah that spun me out too, they're the size of his hand

[@dionr1168]

zigzagbigbag These amps can get to 110 decibels at max volume, according to Glenn Fricker.

[@KabukiGallery]

Spacial illussion is making the amps look small when he reach out his hand but they aren’t.. one thing to acknowledge is the number of knobs on those amps and the guitars close to them.. if they really are that size then those guitars will be for midgets

[@patrickmulder2450]

I like the Jackman and the Atomic best I think. Although I agree that a pedal wouldn't go amiss with the Atomic. Damn impressive sounding though.

[@orryfishburne5326]

Thanks for the demo. Im been eyeing these little guys for a while now. I dont need a new amp but i do want to try one of these out for myself. I own a Roland JC40, and an Egnater Tweaker 40 Combo, so i already have a good base of amp tones. The JC40 is one of the cleanest sounding amps out there and a fantastic solid state amp, and the Tweaker has a switchable tone stack that makes it sound more like either a fender style, vox style, or marshal style amp, but i would love to try the Zombie for a high gain option. I do love the Atomic and BlueJay tho, and i most play clean so those amps i really want to hear in person

[@user-nu7xx7pc1d]

all are great! to my taste, Jackman sounds more versatile.

[@edneyhelenedossantos1875]

Which one is louder?

[@kdrake777]

That was so good, I watched it twice. I think I like the Zombie and Jackmam best. As a side note, your bass tone was really good! Were you using an amp or going direct? And second, the Phil X Framus is like your YJM strat, you seem very at home on it and seem to play more effortlessly. I️ wonder how the Joyo Bantamps would do in a shootout with a hybrid like the Orange Micro Terror. They are in the same price range and wattage.

[@TJRatfink]

I second the request for a shootout btwn the Joyos & Orange MT.

[@thetonekingofficial]

Thank you kd! The bass was actually recorded directly into my Focusrite 18i20 audio interface. The reason why it sounds so good is because of 2 reasons. First is - the bass has an onboard pre-amp, so it's not so dependent on what it's plugged into. Second is ... the Focusrite has some of the best recording pre-amps in recording interfaces - so together, it's an easy setup. The only thing I did in post was added a compressor to the bass - so you can her it more consistently. I'm not a bass player - but I think a compressor for bass is pretty common. Hope that answers your question :-). And, thank you for the compliments on the guitar. YES - it is super comfortable. Something about it and the strat. You are right! Thanks again. Enjoy your day!

[@TheTruth70777]

Any of this and a Mooer mini preamp.

[@kdrake777]

By the time you buy your two favorites, you could have bought the Boss Katana 100 head which comes with a small built in speaker, has wattage attenuation and loud enough to gig with with a cab. The Joyo amps seem really nice but right now, there is a boat load of competition.

[@behemothokun]

kdrake777 they don't really compare. I get the appeal of the Katana but personally I take a small head with a better sound and even for a cheaper price for the living room over the more feature packed Katana. Like I said, I get the appeal of the Boss, but I need zero of the features it has. Different amps for different purposes.

[@kdrake777]

Behemothokun You’re probably right.

[@kdrake777]

Mal Reynolds Didn’t know, thx for the info. I️ really have no interest in getting a Katana but a lot of people do.

[@Crunchifyable2]

If these were out before I got my HT-5, I'd totally consider one. Even as an extra amp for an extra space, seems cool. They are a bit late to the party...and the power cord setup that looks like a laptop leads me to infer (could be wrong) that the tubes are not running at 300+V...which means not true tube tone.

[@puertecitos6888]

those Boss Katana's are shit amps.

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

I love them all and feel they nail their respective amps character. Little Rock & Roll Hootchie Koo never hurts :) When are you going to run through the mig-50?

[@thetonekingofficial]

I think these are my 2 favs as well.

[@BloodpactORG]

Yep, basically pick one of them depending on what guitar you have. I play on a Jaguar so I'm going with the Meteor as it has more low-end, my Jaguar can get way too bright. Anyone with humbuckers should get the VIVO.

[@mrdeanv4414]

[@Fabio_Marshall]

Cool! What is that guitar strap? Tks

[@craigparse1439]

Since I already have an Orange, I'd choose the Jackman. It's got greater versatility in tone (IMO). I probably wouldn't buy the VIVO or Zombie since I don't usually play high-gain. I don't think you could go wrong in any of these amps as long as it fits the music you play.

[@basskirkster]

I have the Zombie and love the tone. I run a Behringer OD in front to push it a little more and it sounds great through my 4X12 cabinet. I run it DI for recording and use GR 5 for cabinet emulation. Really nice amp.

[@guitarhero706]

I liked the meteOR and the VIVO the best. Both more my style with the higher gain. I know these are lunchbox type amps but a footswitch would make these amps much better in my opinion.

[@RT804]

I think that if more people were blindfolded and asked to pick amps they would pick Orange far more than they would ever admit to. That chunk and fuzz is just a little added something with a high gain amp. And most times you can get plenty of scream out of them using the tone knob. Not JCM scream but pretty damn close. Id like all of them but Im planning on replacing my Micro Dark with a Meteor. Im tired of missing a clean channel.

[@TheTruth70777]

Which is the most versatile?

[@MetalHeadHippie]

Zombie Bro. Thanks Louis.

[@thetonekingofficial]

Coolio! Thanks MHH.

[@bellachi9575]

To my untrained ear they all sounded very much the same until the blue jay. But I prefer blues to overdrive.

[@greatvanzini]

Yep same here. All similar. Good cleans to lot;s of distortion. The BJr. had a blues Jr quality albeit I thought like a weak Blues Jr. Fun vid though.

[@Crunchifyable2]

I Wonder if it's the speaker? V30? certain amps just all sound the same through certain speakers

[@thesollylama130]

good comparison but what I'd like to see is a comparison to the amps these are supposed to be modeling. There is a 5150 and Marshall head right behind you (don't know if it's a JCM). Let's see how accurate they really are.

[@Spartanjp308]

For me it's between the JCM and the AC.

[@needsLITHIUM]

Put a Behringer VT999 or other tube pedal in the FX loop of the BlueJay, and throw an OG Tube Screamer OD pedal in front, or one of the clones, like the Joyo one or a Behringer TO800, or else just use the guitar amp sims from a Zoom or NuX multiFX pedal between the guitar and the input, with the gain at 11 or 12 o'clock in either case. Would probably sound pretty awesome, js.

[@gamma_noize]

My favorite three are: 1. ZoMbie 2. VIVO 3. MeteOR

[@52TeleGuy]

I liked the orange and the jcm amps.

[@alanst.4417]

Meteor for me, then Jackman, but usually I prefer marshalls to oranges :-)

[@Stratisfied22]

Does anyone know which one of these has the best platform for pedals and has the best clean channel?

[@lucaszembrzuski]

I like the AC one the most, it has a nice clean and nice overdrive, i think i will get one myself someday. And man you should play some more clean stuff, when you'll come back to the high gain, you will hear a big improvement in your technique.

[@logandowdy9887]

FIRE..........BRAND!!!!!!!

[@ranlmao876]

can these bantamp heads in tandem with a 1x12 cab can be heard in a no PA (non mic'ed) live setting?

[@MattWhatsGoinOn]

This is really difficult, (I suppose if it weren't, everyone would come up with the same, obvious answer, eh?) because one would like to be able to get at least a small variety of good tones. I'd have to say though, that here, at least, the BlueJay seems a little weak on the clean tones because of the distortion coming in, or a little weak on the distortion in general. The Atomic, and then the Jackman, seem to be getting there, but just not quite, and are struggling a bit. The Zombie to me seems a little too "one trick pony." So I guess that narrows it down for me to the VIVO and the Meteor, and because I'd like to get some reasonably decent cleans, I lean toward the Meteor. At least, at this point in time.

[@chriscarreno4930]

I liked the JaCman,then the VIVO, and the MeteOr. Amen!!!

[@donaldlemieux]

Hello there, I see reviews of those joyo bantamp amps but all reviews are demonstrating using other cab, much larger cabs. Have someone tried the joyo bantcab, eight inches speakers? Is it a good cab?

[@TJRatfink]

Watch out Billy Sheehan-TTK kills on bass! And using the thumb on the G, an old bass player trick. Ethr my ears are cooked or the meds hvn't kicked in yet but I don't hear a huge difference btwn any of these. In the amounts of gain, yes, there is a difference but not in tone itself. Would I buy one? Maybe-but I guess it dsn't matter which if they all sound similar to me. And using a pedal, the difference is likely even less.

[@jeremylongfellow8359]

I have the ZoMBie & their 8" BanTCaB, bought for about AU $330 in June 2019. Am off right now to purchase the MeteOR on $ale for AU $199. Then I want the "LIL", or VIV0 (I nickname it the LIL because L is 50 in Roman Numerals. LI/51 & L/50! 😂). Eventually I'll likely get the JaCkMan MkII, & want to upgrade my ZoMBie to the MkII version with the Channel Select Footswitch and 2nd set of Dials. All for my home studio, of course!! 😅😅😅😂 🤘 If you could only have the 1, my bet is that you would choose the VIV0, right? 🙂

[@alexgroeger326]

I'm kinda diggin the voxy one for the context you were playing in. Hey has the Toneking ever tried a Fender Tonemaster? If you haven't, you should.

[@DMSProduktions]

Very nice TK. Are these SS or valve powered/hybrid? You forgot the clean ch for the green 1! You MISSED that famous Vox clean jangle & chime!

[@gvtshorts2024]

DMSProduktions Hybrid, JFET plus one 12AX7 tube in the pre amp, SS class D power amp...20W RMS

[@thetonekingofficial]

Hey DMS - Thank you. Yeah - good question. I do know there is a tube, but I'm not sure of it's purpose (to be honest). In reading the comments myself - looks like Joaquin answered a hybrid. I do know the amp wasn't happy going into a sweet 8x8 amp switcher I was planning on using - so I'm not sure if that says anything about it?

[@DMSProduktions]

Ok, sounds about right, single valve pre, (like a valve OD pedal) not sure if it runs high voltage or low voltage, plate starvation mode. As to the switcher it may not have liked the load impedance it was giving. Check with Joyo about using in in a multi speaker switching system. I guess not all amps like them, (however it shouldn't really matter.)
