For all the complaints about too much talking, I actually enjoyed listening to you talk about this pedal. Great voice and great enthusiasm for a great $40 dollar pedal.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Agree.
Excellent review. Most reviews focus on the more pushed sound. I really wanted to hear the clean sound, and you sold me. Thanks man, I subbed, keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for the comment and I'm glad it was helpful! I was actually just helping someone today to dial in a clean on their joyo. Good luck and thanks for the sub!
This is a pretty good overview of the Joyo American. Also, this video covers a lot of newbie info people might have questions on. Good video!
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! Hopefully it gave a decent overview for a newbie. and someone looking for amp alternatives.
I have tried several of the higher end modelers and I found them too involved for playing live. I wound up using two American Sound pedals. One as a clean channel and the other stacked into it as a crunch sound. I added distortion before them for when I would need a higher gain sound. It works amazingly well.
Totally agree! It's really amazing how good these sound at the price. Great to find other "believers" in the Joyo American. :)
Some purists would say, because the AS has a cab SIM in it, then there should only be one at the end of the chain and then direct in... But I think if it sounds good it sounds good. And the AS sounds excellent even if I run a cab SIM pedal after it.
@@PsychedelicGoo i think it sound better with a IR after
I completely agree!
I run into mine first and then into my other pedals. Sounds great!
I bought one a couple years ago. They are amazing value in the studio.
I’m like you. Too many options kills creativity IMO.
Great vid thx
Thanks so much for watching!
Love the Joyo stuff , they all a great bang for your dollars!👍😎
Totally agree!
I love this Pedal! Use it for 4 years now. Great sound over a PA without carrying heavy amps. 30 euro.. nutsss
I know right!?!?! No IR or cab sim needed, just a minute to dial in your sound, get some pedals and it's a beast!
When you cut the mids and hit the drive that was the sound I was looking for. Sold!
Just a little tweaking and this pedal can give you EXACTLY what you want. So glad the video helped!!
I've had this pedal for years, and also the ACTONE and California. They are a really great deal.
Totally agree!
It is I have been using the California on my board for the last six years. I use the American for home recording Great pedals
Nice!
The Voice control is a mid boost before the clipping circuit. In other words, it’s a Drive control for the mids. The other tone controls are after clipping. Once I realized this it was easier to dial it in.
For the money those Joyo amp pedals can’t be beat!
I use mine with plugins (bogey, convolve) to simulate cabs only or plugged into 20 watts Ibanez Troubadour (acoustic amp). I'm a drummer, I don't really care but it's still better than the majority of amp simulators.
Nice! I actually just saw an Ibanez Troubadour on cragslist the other day for the first time! Yeah, I have used it with the Two Notes cab sims and a nice pedal cab sim called the "Cab Zeus" and it can definitely enhance it and round out the sound. I just keep coming back to how amazing it is as that swiss army knife tone shaper platform for any tone. Pretty sweet!
Spuprised this didn’t get more hits. Perfect for someone getting into the amp/pedal game.
Thanks so much for watching and for your support!
Plug it into the return. Its awesome
I agree, the Joyo American Sound is fab. For a starter amp, I recommend a secondhand Boss MicroCube. I still use mine. Loud enough, loads of FX, with a great choice of sounds. (Not a Dual Cube, they're different.)
Nice!
It's a rare industry bargain, far better than the price it sells for. I use one for all the guitar parts on my channel backing tracks. Honestly, it works really well for a range of tones. 🙌
Couldn't agree more! It's a staple here on the channel.
If you want some ballpark settings , look up the manuals for the tech 21 pedal this is based on .
I just put one of these in the effects loop of my Sunn Alpha 112r and it sounds amazing.
Compressor -> Crunch -> Tube Screamer -> Noise Gate -> Amp input -> fx loop send -> Joyo American Sound -> Chorus -> Delay -> fx loop return
Great setup! Do you have any videos demonstrating the setup?
@@mrnathanmusic8224 No, but feel free to try it and see what you think. I recently restored that Sunn amplifier, which I've had since 1993 but hadn't been able to use the past 15 years or so. I bought a bunch of cheap pedals off Temu, so the Joyos (my delay is also Joyo) are actually my high-dollar pedals...ha!
Mostly wanted a good clean sound, just got the American Sound yesterday, and I think it's fantastic so far. Looking into the others in that series.
I have the TaiChi Juno - similar to your pedal without separate EQs : low - mid - high. Can use an EQ pedal to get what you're showing. Thanks!!
You can go from a Twin Reverb to a Supersonic with this toy. It's a no brainer.
I'm thinking about getting the Joyo R14 reverb pedal. I really confused on which power supply to get. The cheaper ones they say aren't isolated. As a beginner I need some good advice.
Gotta be the best value pedal ever. I love mine, intend to gig with it straight to FOH at local open mics (I've played loads of open mics and other types of gigs all the way up to a major festival before... but on acoustic guitar. I'm working on a set of singer-songwriter material written on my telecaster and I need to be portable and unfussy about it). When it comes to effectiveness/versatility vs cost, it seems like something every guitarist should own even if only as an emergency backup solution.
I can't agree more!
I put a Joyo classic flanger at the end of my board and now there is no chorus or phase. It goes a long way.
Ballpark settings are a great start and as long as you show what the knobs do, you can get a lot out of a pedal. You just have to tweak at it
I meant to thumbs up your video😂😂
What’s the best way to add in reverb. From the device itself? Via a pedal? Or the DAW. Thanks.
Easiest is to record direct and then use a reverb from your DAW but I've also used it with a pedal and it takes pedals really well. Good luck!
@@mrnathanmusic8224 Got it thanks.
Suggest you put your amp sounds played at the end - at the start - this way people will be more willing to listen to your in depth discussions that are very interesting
Great idea and thanks for the feedback! Thanks for watching!
@@mrnathanmusic8224 - Hi! Keep this video - do an 2nd video : different sounds (energy) at start for under 1 min - then conversation - more sounds - more conversation (added insights - Joyo vs Neural amp Modeler and / or Joyo after Nobels OD1) - call it The BEST amp in a pedal???? - Joyo American Sound DEMO - UPDATE
This pedal must be at least 10 years since it was reviewed on youtube. I've read the recent posts and can someone tell if this pedal after almost a decade is still a viable pedal to add to your pedal board?
Personally I think it's still extremely useful on a pedalboard. In most of my videos the guitar "amp" is the Joyo. However, with new players like the Line 6 Express that has effects built in it definitely has some stiff competition.
So to clarify, because I'm pretty new at this, I can plug my guitar into this pedal, run a cable to an unpowered cab, and it will run the whol thing? Meaning is this a true amp in a box or just a simulator?
you would need a power amp in order to run it into a cab, that might come as a pedal or as a unit like the orange pedal baby
Should i use a DI with this preamp, if I'm going to the houses mixer?
That's what I do and it sounds great in the house. Good luck and thanks for watching!
I own the Oxford sound pedal and it’s a feedback machine. It’s almost unusable. I’m wondering if I have a faulty pedal
I've never tried the Oxford but feedback doesn't seem to be an issue with the American. I do have to make sure that the volume isn't pushed too high on the pedal but even at pretty loud volumes it's pretty feedback free. Good luck!
Maybe it is faulty. The cheaper Chinese pedals sometimes have bad soldering. Joyo seems to be better for it than some, e.g. Caline. I've bought a couple of Caline pedals that needed minor repairs, from new. One needed the soldering touching up and another one had the leg of an LED bent so it was touching another component... I also have one I bought with a known fault where the foot switch doesn't do anything useful.
The first transistor preamp I ever tried making had two ceramic disk capacitors - one on the input and one on the output. It fed back constantly, unless I twisted one of them so it was at 90 degrees to the other one.
I use it in front of cheap amps and it transforms them. Just set the amp as flat and dull as you can.
Totally! I've been impressed by a lot of gear but this one really blew me away! Not to mention how affordable it is. Thanks for watching!
Use it at the send/return, it gets even better
Buy 2, put the first one clean going into the second one slightly overdriven. Save many hundreds of dollars.
Totally! You can get AMAZING tone that way without spending loads of money. Great idea!
why is nobody demoing this pedal with the "drive" knob all the way to 0... that is what "Clean" means.....
there's always a gain in volume. The Cleanest sound is the DI if you are an acoustic purist. lmao
Now its time to put this up against the Dream 65.
Yeah I've seen some videos on it and the Dream sounds pretty amazing!
No comparison , even though the Joyo is a awesome budget alternative, I know as I have a lot of Joyo stuff . For the money the best bang for your dollars. The Dream is at a completely different level in terms of sound and options in it !👍😎
@@jdwild1698 Thanks for the input! I still haven't tried out the Dream but I would expect something from the Universal Audio team to be light years ahead. Hopefully I can try one soon and compare.
You are out of tune man
Totally agree!
You're too little
Too much talking. I skip this video not good.
20minutes of you waffling, play more amd get to the playing. And tune your guitar.....
90 percent talking, 10 percent playing. U sud do more playing, then maybe u will have 371K subs instead of 371 subs.
You should really stop talking so much...
So, at the moment, amp wise, I only have a Hartke bass amp. I play my guitar thru it. It works, definitely, however it is just a super boring clean tone. I'm wondering if this pedal, and/or the others (ACtone specifically) will deliver the same sound that you get, with my bass amp. Any info would be dank. Thanks a bunch bro
Great question Nick! Hard to say definitively without hearing your rig but I'd say that if your Hartke is currently giving you a pretty flat clean tone for your guitar this should work great! Essentially you'd treat your amp like a PA speaker and all of the guitar tone that you'd want from an amp would come from the Joyo. I'd grab one, set your amp pretty flat/neutral and then start tweaking with the Joyo settings to get the right tone for your guitar that you're looking for. Hope that help and good luck! You should post a video after you get it set. I'd love to hear what you come up with! Cheers!
@@mrnathanmusic8224 Thanks for the response, man. Much appreciated! After some thought, I think I will actually go with the American, over the ACtone. Reason being, I am most likely going to get myself an AC10, or AC15 in the not-so-distsnt future. Plus, the American seems like a much more all-purpose pedal, putting out beautiful clean tones and then they're able to be dialed into dirty. So, for my current amp situation, it will be much more useful.
Anywho, thanks again. And I will probably make a vid about the bass amp > Joyo sim > guitar. Mostly because I couldn't really find any concrete info about it working, or not working , or anything that would bring comfort to someone with less knowledge than me. So I kind of feel like I should fill that little gap of knowledge for any new players with that question, in the future. Sounds stupid lol, but I'll contribute when I can
