The demo gear in this video is all run through Practical Patch cables, including instrument cables and patch cables. These are using some top-quality components, including Neutrik jacks and Van Damme cable and are hand-assembled and tested in the UK. After having off-the-shelf cables for years and suffering failures again and again, I bought some Practical Patch cables and have been happier than ever with them. They also don’t cost you the Earth, which some other hand made cable companies seem to do. If you want to find out more, head over to www.practicalpatch.co.uk to see what they have to offer.

This is the video that concinved me to buy this pedal and I couldn't be happier with it now that I have it. Well done 👏 .

[@BudgetPedalChap]

I'm glad you're having fun with it. The series of amp sims have some great ones in 👍

[@bomdelux]

I am loving how versatile this is. Big win right there

[@BudgetPedalChap]

It really is huh?

[@stormyweather2837]

Ok I'm just gonna buy this you make it sound very good !!! Cheers 🙂

[@BudgetPedalChap]

They're great pedals tbf, let me know how you get on 👍

[@Gearjunkie35]

Great tone and demo..what a variety of good tone there! Well done 👍

[@BudgetPedalChap]

@@castnoshadow82lr48 for the cost outlay, it's hard not to recommend it. I think it's probably the best out of the lot too

[@zrellll]

I really love orange amps, but this also sounds nice. Thinking of which one I should get haha

[@BudgetPedalChap]

The AC is probably more versatile as the cleans are a bit nicer and the gain is a bit less noisy

[@danielmiller2886]

Adding the cab IR, it really brings up the midrange. I wonder if you could accomplish that by bringing up the mid and high knobs some...or adding a 10 band EQ pedal?

[@BudgetPedalChap]

There isn't enough fine adjustment in the mid control but an EQ pedal could work 👍

[@gabrielrangel956]

I'd love a comparison between this one and Caline's The Mayday

[@BudgetPedalChap]

I'll have a word with Caline and see if they'd be up for a comparison video 👍

[@jorge.az07]

Ñ love your captions

[@BudgetPedalChap]

Thank you 👍

[@riangarianga]

I got this pedal like four years ago. Initially I thought about collecting all of them in the series (so far I had the California and the American), but this golden banana-coloured one was the definitive one in the whole recipe, and I discarded cooking the remaining ones. It can do it all, be it cleans, dirt, obviously royal stuff... I don't use it much these days, though, since I changed my setup for something more flexible to just stomp on and make changes on the spot. I saw some mods to fully disable its analog cab emulation and just use better-sounding external IRs instead, but I never cared to try it.

[@BudgetPedalChap]

I've heard about those mods too and I must admit I've been tempted but I've found running IRs after the units sounds pretty good anyway so I've never bothered. I may do it eventually though, we shall see 😜

[@sayazdir]

Do you record that with a mic? I guess this Joyo amp pedals have built in cab sim. What do you think of running this through an amp and a speaker like an overdrive pedal?

[@BudgetPedalChap]

This was recorded into an amp model on the hx stomp, so pretty much like running it into the front of an amp. The built in cab sim with all of these pedals isn't good enough to run DI, I would always use an external IR loader if running direct

[@steveburchfield5576]

I just got mine about an hour ago, and plugged it into my Carr Mecury V British voiced amp, and I am a Very Happy Chappy!!!

[@BudgetPedalChap]

Glad to hear it my man

[@gutocavalcante]

Can you plug it in an amp, like Fender Blues Jr? How can I use it? Just like a normal pedal? Thanks for the video!

[@BudgetPedalChap]

Yeah, it can go at the front end of your amp and it almost acts like a very specific EQ and drive pedal which gives a Vox voice to your fender amp. You could place it in the FX loop and it'll make that effect even stronger or you can run it direct into a PA or interface to get a vox tone with no amp required. Hope this helps 👍

[@TooSlowTube]

Does the guitar in the demo have humbuckers? I remember quite a different sound, but mine have single coil pickups, like on a strat. I bought a few from this series. I haven't used them for a while, but this was my favourite one.

[@BudgetPedalChap]

All of my demos, unless stated otherwise, uses a strat style guitar so no humbucker on this one. I really like the range and use there American and British quite a lot, the AC is a nice mid point between both as it does sound nice clean tone and sound good when you drive the circuit too.

[@TooSlowTube]

@@BudgetPedalChap Thanks.

[@austinjoiner5968]

I have a boss katana mini that i was wanting to plug this into. If i set the amp to clean would it sound okay?

[@BudgetPedalChap]

I haven't tried it with the katana, but I've used a few of these joyo amp sims in the dying end of an amp to give a nice amp like flavour and it's worked great. I don't see why it shouldn't work for the katana 👍 if you do get one, let me know how you get on

[@jaketachermusic954]

I have one, great tones on the cheap. This line is probably joyos best. I'm most partial to the American sound, which I believe to be joyo's absolute best pedal, but the ac tone is great too.

[@BudgetPedalChap]

Yeah, I completely agree. There are a few more gems in the line up but the most consistent are these amp sims

[@Psztyk236]

I hope y’all realize that those are really Tech 21 pedals :p Joyo just took their design and remade it for cheap

[@surreal_vows_band]

Is it good for solos like comfortable numb and pink floyd stuff? Im not sure

[@BudgetPedalChap]

I've always leaned towards rat style distortions or big muff style tones for Pink Floyd lead work. You can get some nice saturated lead tones out of this, but there are better options to nail the specific tone.

[@analogdistortion2906]

It sounds great but I don't think you need a separate cab sim, there's already one in there

[@BudgetPedalChap]

The cab sims in these pedals are rubbish. They really come to life when you run an external cab sim 👍

[@elabismoylaluna6981]

How do you conect the pedal to the pc? Thanks

[@BudgetPedalChap]

If you plug this into an interface you can use it into your PC 👍

[@geoffwalker888]

I read your sub scripts as the video runs along. Very helpful since you dont put a commentary on otherwise - wird word "HArbinger"....?

[@BudgetPedalChap]

😂😂 I wasn't sure people were reading them so I stopped doing them on recent videos, but they are a nice little Easter egg for those who spot it, huh?

[@peter333]

I own like 30 different gain pedals, 3 different amps, 2x12 Celestion V30 speaker cab, 11 guitars from Squier to Gibson, a peanutbutter jelly sandwich, and I use Landstrom Sharkfin picks, you think I can get a Brian Mayonai-ish sound out of this pedal??

[@BudgetPedalChap]

If you've got something treble booster flavoured pushing the front end and some single coils, you'll get in the ballpark for sure 👍

[@peter333]

@@BudgetPedalChap - treble booster: check - single coils: check Would this work at the end of the pedal chain in front of the amp or do I get a better result running it straight into power amp using fx loop?

[@BudgetPedalChap]

@@peter333 in front of an amp, it'll be a bit more subtle but it does work. I tried the American into an FX loop before with great results 👍

[@peter333]

@@BudgetPedalChap OK thanks. I have an Ali refund coupon to spend, this pedal would only cost me like 3 euros lol. I looked at the California, I think it's kinda muddy for my taste and I have plenty high gain already, the British is overkill too because i have at least 5 pedals that are Marshall in a box already, 2 of my amps sound like Marshall, and I've never been a great fan of Fender amps. I played Vox before and they sound great. I grew up with Brian May's live sound (the March 31, 1974 Rainbow show bootleg) and I love it, so basically, for 3 euro it's a no brainer... Thanks again =) Ps: recently they also released an 'Oxford' in this same series, it's supposed to be an Orange style amp, don't know what to think of it, I feel like it's got no real distinguished sound of its own.

[@BudgetPedalChap]

@@peter333 I have featured the Oxford on the channel too. It's a different flavour of British amp for sure but it is a bit more noisy

[@boimesa8190]

I Feel wondering What The Voice Control on these Pedals actually Do.... 🤔

[@BudgetPedalChap]

They do something different for each pedal. With this one, it goes from a cleaner sparkly cleaner voicing to a mid rich gainy voicing. With others, it takes you through those types of amp through the ages. I think the American is supposed to sound like a champ at one end and a bassman at the other. They really bring these pedals to life. Hope this helps 👍

[@boimesa8190]

@@BudgetPedalChap I mean technically

[@BudgetPedalChap]

@@boimesa8190 I don't know for sure, but I would say they likely alter the EQ of the signal going into the amplification stage. Adding more low mids and bass will also alter the gain as lower frequencies push amplifiers to drive more easily.

[@dressedtosmellgood]

@@BudgetPedalChap its like a pre-clipping mids control

[@BudgetPedalChap]

Yeah, I'll go with that description 👍

[@alphanumeric1529]

How do you know these are supposed to go DI?

[@BudgetPedalChap]

They say it has a cab emulated out, which means you can either go into desk/DI or run it into a flat response powered cab. The whole series is the same and the biggest complaint is that it isn't switchable usually.
