We are testing the Harley Benton (Joyo) American Sound Pedal, which gives you a Fender-like tone with a lot of flexibility, due to the Voice function and the three band EQ. from a nice subtle overdrive to a singing lead, everything is possible. OR, you could just color your clean tone to be a little bit more "clean" !

California for warm and round powerchords or Santana style leads. British for anything Marshall, so rock and blues probably. American for a fender sound, the lead sound is great, but the clean and slight overdrive does really well, for Blues and country or raggae or even nice pop stuff!
Sorry, may I ask you....
What is a Jojo. Dont understand it.
This is the BEST way to demo a pedal - and I love the constant tweaking while someone else plays idea! (No Sarcasm!)
If I hadn't already bought the thing, I would have on the strength of this video alone... Keep them coming, Henning!
Totally agree. Best & most useful way to demo a pedal. Got one arriving in the next day or so & I found this really helpful. Can't wait to try it through various amps & with different guitars.
That's how I was convinced to buy the Joyo California pedal, it was great to hear all the knob selections and I was in and out of my local guitar shop confident with my purchase.
yea its great that way.
In an apartment with headphones, this thing is divine. You gain presence and stuff that's not as harsh as just adding a reverb/chrous/OD to the chain. I adore this pedal and this was one of the "I'm sold!" videos (the other by intheblues).
I'm running my Joyo California through a vox mv50 clean, so I'm using the line out / headphone jack at the back of the unit.
I own this pedal for 3 months now. It's my favourite. Super value for the money
This series of Joyo pedal definitely worth the money. Affordable and sounds great. I love my California Sound. Actually for those who slam it is just simply because the brand Joyo is not "high end" enough for them.
One of the best demos I've heard in a long time. I'm going to pull this pedal out of my pedal box and rock it! Thanks!
There’s about twenty grand’s worth of kit behind this guy and the pedal sells for €30. I want to hear what it sounds like through a €30 amp
I run it in a katana mk2 power amp input and it sounds absolutely gorgeous. The katana has a class ab power amp and it reacts really well to this pedal.
Привет!Эту педаль надо втыкать в линию.
Great bang for buck pedal ... I run one of these between the mic & PA for harmonica playing. Great tone, lots of volume, no feedback, low price and a whole lot easier than carrying an amp around!
First class guitarist, some very nice playing and using techniques for the sound and expression not just to toss them off. I don't like fenders, but this diezel is in love with this pedal so much they should get married. A $4,000 Diezel with a $30 crunch box, sounds odd, but it works.
I've got one of these and it sounds really good.Can do anything from very subtle overdrive to high gain.Its a very versatile pedal with the 3 band eq plus the voice knob.I usually run it with the eq knobs at 1oclock and the voice and drive knobs around 3/4 upIt give me a great sound. Roll back the guitar volume and it cleans up nicely.I also have the joyo ultimate OD which is kind of midrange heavy and not as versatile.I like this pedal better. The 2 OD pedals combined will give a super saturated over the top distortion.
Recently I became addicted to these Joyo pedals. I watched videos on top of different videos and picked what I liked. Out of all four of their pre amp pedals the American is my favorite with the Vintage Overdrive stacked up next to it. The pre amp pedals sound like crap out of a tube amp in my opinion unless you go into the effects loop. But out of a PA system yea they rock. I have two different boards set up to use on the PA. I have the British stacked with the Extreme Metal, Ultimate Overdrive and the Ammoon Echo first in line from the guitar. On my other board I have the American and the Vintage Overdrive. The AC Tone and the California just sit around and collect dust. All four sound very similar to my ears but the AC Tone is a bit high pitched and the California is so much a combination of the American and British I just don't see much of a need for it in the chain. Everyone says for the money you can't go wrong with these Joyo pedals. It's more than a value for the money folks. They sound far better than what they sell for compared to custom pedals. China got their act together with these. And your missing out if your not trying them. But hey keep paying those high end prices for a custom job if that's your thing.
well, the expensive guitar and all that other stuff was to show that this pedal can play in that league. It does sound great with other guitars and amps as well... for the price it is completely unbeatable... the player... well, can't help you there... he's great!
I've got one two years ago. Incredible not only for the price ! A french musician.
I wish all demos were this well done(No wasted time, showed the eq's FULL range in action with good playing). I jus wish u would've showed the direct sound for a bit but there are lots other vids that show that. Again, Good Job, Thanks
Yes, I noticed the bypass issue on the TruEtone pedals... my mistake, fixed it on the ACTone, on the others it will have to remain wrong...
I have a huge request called "Budget amp tuning" episode . There are lot of guys like me who started guitar journey with cheap equipment. As long as modyfing guitar is relatively easy, amps are something more complicated. I am user of fender 85 SS amp but i wanted to go into more valvy/ less transistory sound. I found out Tech21 and its cheap alternative Joyo American Sound (30 $) . Putting this pedal into my efects loop absolutely changed my tone. I know that analog pedal in ss amp is not exactly what gives you tube amp but in this case i felt in love with that sound.I would love to see episode in which you take just normal SS amp and try to get as much as posible from it. Of course you can always buy tube amp, but is some countries 600 $ is two mounths sallary. I know you are Berkley professional but you impact a lot of home-amatours with rather limited budget. Thanks :)
very competitive price! Good quality! ordered mine on Ebay by retailer there
Your videos are the best pedal reviews on youtube. Thank you thank you thank you. You are eclipsing Brett Kingman! Thank you for taking the trouble to record so beautifully, so many youtube reviews sound like they have been played through a laptop speakers. You are the man, my friend. And this guitar player, wow he is good. Humour as well, all is good.
I bought it, will take about 2 more weeks to have my hands onto it, so far sounds awesome!!!!!
Isn't this one of the most exciting pedals on the market? :D I'm a proud owner of this pedal.
I bought the Caline version... it was $4 cheaper and has really cool graphics😂. I had originally bought it as the base for a small club/patio gig rig so I could just run into the PA .... when I got to playing around with it I absolutely fell in love with some of those tones.
@@daddyosink4413 Right! Isn't that crazy? So cheap and so beautiful sounding! :D
@@iosifsimon it is! They are basically a Tech 21 Blonde. Do they sound exactly the same? No. But for a fraction of the price no one will ever be able to tell, especially in a band setting.
@@daddyosink4413 Exactly. Everyone talks about those details that in a band setting no one will ever notice.
5:50 Such beautiful, clean sparkly tone.
Great demo of a pedal. Perfect format. Thanks 🙏
I want to live in this studio, everything a man could ask for in there lol
Greetings from Fife,Scotland.Great work on the gear demo's man,professional,informative and highly entertaining ! I already own the American,and the Sweet Baby is on the way,sounds fantastic.Keep on keeping on,Henning.
This "sound" pedals from Joyo can give you a lot of very usable tones for the money. I think they're great. I'm gonna get one as soon as possible. Great demo. Thanks!
I ordered this today off Amazon! My intention is to run it like this.. guitar- eq- joyo hot plexi- joyo pocket metal -reverb, delay- joyo AMERICAN SOUND -ehx magnum 44 - 4x12 cab! and man im LOVING the POCKET METAL by joyo..
damienbaits This can work... why not...
EytschPi42 The EHX magnum 44 power amp pedal has a nice warm clean tone that doesnt "color" any effect i use into it, i usually run a Behringer v amp through it with good results, but i want out of digital v amp and thought this analog American would be better..i will report back when i get it in mail and try it! Thanks for the great reviews, ive watched them all..
love it! Beautiful clear sounding pedal! HB/Joyo are making some really fine pedals for (freaking ;) ridiculous prices! Great vid by the way, love your channel. Though I missed the coffee in this one.
I'm back, love this demo, love this pedal!
Wow, it sounds great. I'm guessing that Gary Moore (4:30 - 8:30) would be happy with this pedal as well :) As you said - for this price it's just ridiculously good.
I fully agree... it's not right, yet... for many guitar players having an affordable pedal is a reason to buy it... those who want the real deal will buy the real deal... I understand that this is no excuse...
Some seriously tasty playing there, Moritz.
I played such an orange box. And sold it, because, I didn`t know, how to rock it. Lately I purchased another one. Man, that thing really rocks.
Try it direct to PA (or PC interface) or into the return of an amp. This is how this pedal reall sound well. It works exactly like an amp. I use it direct with all my pedals before it, just like with my amp.
Another thing. When it puts "Bypass" and not "True Bypass" means that it's not true bypass. If you try to use without batteries or DC power it won't let the signal pass.
What a great video guys, my compliments. It would also be interesting to hear the pedal with no amp after it (afterall, it's an amp sim). Maybe to keep in mind for future tests?
i didn't realize this thing is so inexpensive. but this video makes me think it is more of an overdrive pedal than an amp simulator.
Great sound ;great guitar playing.
Awesome demo and great ears. Can I hire you to adjust my pedals on my live gigs?
Just borrowed this American pedal from a mate it's freakin awesome.
Only the good guitar player could make this pedal sound so awesome... Thanx for the demo...
Best demo by far of this unit - thanks!
Cool idea, maybe I make one of those videos, but somehow I doubt it would change the sound a lot, the clean channel shouldn't color the sound too much.
that is high praise... check out the other pedals.... great stuff for little money... there are many videos on my channel....
ACHTUNG THOMANN! please create mini versions of boutique alternative effects pedals (last gasp, earthquaker, malekko, subdecay, zvex, etc.) but keep the low price. if you can pull that off, you will be the asskickers of the industry.
spitze Test! Aufgrund dessen hab ich das Teil geordert und bin restlos begeistert! Thanx!
Great demo! Just bought this, for £30 it's worth a try!
Definitely for the money !!!
Sounds awesome, I love it!
These are great videos and thank you for your work! Can you tell me what are your 2 favorite pedals for pop, rock, and blues? Seems like the American covers a lot of territory. It sounds like you could get a thick bottom end with some clipping which would keep the power chords firm and defined. The lead tone also had a nice singing sustain sound. Maybe there is another one that "Plays well" with this one?
Great demo and good player...and fantastic pedal....I love !
Thank you....I have buy it !
This is a "MUST HAVE" :-) Thank's again Henning. Great demo :-)
I buy this effect. It has an excellent sound of the 80's
I see this is OLD but another TH-camr I follow just re-reviewed it as well. This is a really sweet pedal and I have it in my basket for my next order from Thomann! I do like the way this demo was done!! To listen while tweaking is awesome and you get a great feel for what the pedal is doing vs sound.
**post edit**
I see the link works so are you still getting rewarded?
Can't say enough good things about this one.
+Jason Mcclaren Same for me...I was totally "out"of pedals...but this one made me change my mind again...Cheap doesn't have to be bad :-)
Hi.... I also like the SWEET BABY for open chords and bluesy stuff and the DELUXE CRUNCH to pick up where the SWEET BABY stopped... both are great... if you have more money to spend, the JETTER dual pedals are unbeatable... check them out on my channel...
This pedal is an amp simulator, so wouldn't it make more sense to demo it directly into say a mixer and full range speakers, so we can hear the actual sound it delivers? Of course its useable as a drive pedal, but most players wouldn't buy it for this..
YOu are totally right, but I didn't know that at the time. I did that for the other pedals in the series. However, they are usable direct, but not great... but they are GREAT in front of an amp.
EytschPi42
I ll look up the other videos, and thanks for posting them. I use simulation pedals quite a bit, mostly live, and these pedals come in such a great price, its nice to check them out..
EytschPi42 For what its worth, Thanks for not running it directly to a mixer etc. I was interested in seeing how this will enable me to change the scope of sound through a VOX AC15. So yes, in fact this video is great for me to hear. I guess we cant please all the people all the time.....:) Thanks from Australia
Shane Rushby he could actually do both... not much more effort needed
Well the best way would be to skip amplifire preamp and plug it directly to some clean power amp. It would give less character of amp and more of pedal amp simulator.
Hi Allesandro... we did that in the other three TrueTone pedals.... check out the videos...
Great Demo format, your mate is a good player.
Looking at the amp setting you must have that cranked in there. That's about as high as I go gigging with it!
That pedal sounded fantastic! I have a goddamn $300 bogner blue and I could have purchased this pedal for $40 bucks!
Sounds great for the price. Worth messing around with.
I want a demo that shows what all the pedal can do. Not some kids playing ability. Just played the same 3 strings. Theres 3 others that i wanted to hear with the voice and gain up.
Amp amps amps! Wow nice collection buddy!
Mate. Appreciated and all that, but you really don't need the pedal to do any of that with that amp and cabinet.
I think what people would like to hear is a demo of the pedal going straight into a computer with perhaps a little post reverb.
Thanks though!
Hi Darren, I did that on the other three True Tone pedals, but it isn't really a great recording solution. They do sound great in front of tubes, but by themselves they are no more than a quick recording solution for a demo.
Sounds really great for the money
Great demo. Thanks.
Awesome demo
It would be bool to hear a demo of this pedal going straig into the power amp of a tube combo or head.
Another great video. Awesome
Are you supposed to just plug it in the front of the amp?
Originally intended use is direct into board/mixer,/powered speaker, but works great into return input of an amp or even in front of it, especially if your amp doesn't have a lot of "personality". I use this pedal to give a little fenderish character to my ZT Lunchbox, which is a great amp but can sound a bit too clinical.
Great review, I am thinking in get one for recording straight from the pedal to the sound card interface.
But, in the review the pedal is going to the amplifier so I supouse that I will not get the gain that you get in the video review, I am right?
Thanks
I'm sold!
Would this make the clean channel on my Engl Ironball more sparkly clean? Now it’s kind of a dark clean.
Quick question. Right now i own SS Fender Eighty Five Amp with amazing clean sound.But the overdrive chanel in this amp isounds bad for me. I am looking for overdrive pedal wich will help me get the valve/tube overdrive with my SS Amp. Is this Joyo American a right choise for me ?
How can it keeps the dynamics of the player with that ridiculous price :o
Maybe a low price and amp and guitar would be more realistic as a tone guide with a cheap pedal like this? PRS and Diezel Head with a pedal under 30 Euro ? What do you think ?
That it sounds great with quality equipment that would easily let you hear its deficiencies?
I use this pedal all the time. I own a Fender Champion 600 and Squier Affinity and Standard guitars. These are cheap gear. Go check out my channel (I'm not asking for "Likes" nor "subscribers", and I don't "monetize" stuff either. I'm trying to honestly help).
I would like you to do a review on a Cailin Crazy Cacti pedal. From what I can get hold of to hear, it sounds good...
+Ty Abrahamse They sent me one, it broke on day 2
+EytschPi42 oh jees OK NEVERMIND!...
Thats not good mine works well but the sockets are bcoming loose, soundwise though an awesome overdrive the no clip setting with boost is an awesome drive tone!
should have bought this instead of ac tone!
For what types of music would you use each Joyo pedal? I mean the California, British and this American, if you could say a few genres for each. Thanks!
if turn the gain alk the way to zero, will it clean up?
Do you think this would breathe some life into the lacklustre clean channel of my Peavey Valveking? I love the lead channel on it and want to keep using the amp, but I really need a better clean.
I use mine exactly for that, and it works great.
Tell me please what guitar strap on him . i need wide guitar strap like that but cant find.
dude can play!
What cab are you using with the Diezel. I have the same head but my clean sound is not as crisp as that. I'm toying with trading in for a fender amp until I heard this!
Also where is the reverb coming from as this amp doesn't have any so assume post production reverb or something in the FX loop?
The cab is a Fender Hot Rod Combo without the amp in it and the reverb is post production (probably TC powercore from the System 6000)
hola sería muy bueno si ponen subtítulos en español
Ive a question, what is the output impedance on these pedals? Can you go into a line level input on a small mixer or do you have to use instrument (high z) level inputs only? Thank you. Fine demo as always.
Hi Brian, when I did the direct recording test in the other true tone pedals I just went straight into the audio interface, so I used a line level.
EytschPi42 Great!! Thanks so much. Exactly what I wanted ro hear. Ill be buying one today then. Thanks again.
Dear EytschPi42.I have been reading that the Joyo American Sound sounds best when used thru the effects loop of an amp primarily becuase the pedal itself is a preamp and therefore best placed in between the amps pre amp and power amp..Have you tried it this way and with what results?
Thank you.
for me, it doesn't sound good.... sounds almost like the DI sound. I think it sounds best in front of a decent tube amp.
Thank you for the reply. Which Joyo pedal has the best/most sustain for leads?
does it work with headphones only? thanks
Amp simulator into an amp. Kinda defeats the object for me as you're basically getting two voicings. Thats the way i see it anyway
Depends on your amp... I use this pedal to give a little fenderish flavor to my ZT Lunchbox, which is a bit too clean and lacks personality on its own. The pedal does this admirably.
Or you could plug it into the return input of your amp (mine doesn't have one), so you're not defeating the object. At the price, and given its versatility, it's a no brainer.
1:58 Next Gen YT Star.
what kind of guitar is that? sounds nice!
Hm, Would this work well as a solo boost pedal in a metal/hardrock type of situation?
This one is for classic fender tones. You would do better with another pedal of this series, the California, which is to be a Mesa Boogie emulator.
sounds great but I suspect the excellent player, lovely expensive guitar amp and mic have something to do with that also...
Has anyone tried this as a preamp with a Boss Katana?
I am running my Katana clean on the acoustic channel for the vocal and guitar signal. The American Sound functions as my preamp on the pedalboard and I wouldn't wanna trade it!
Is voice the same as volume?
show, pena que no meu setup ele joga muito ruido !!
I wonder what would the reactions be if someone posts a demo/cover stating that they're using a fender amp, but is actually using this pedal. Would people notice the lie?
There is a blind test video that Shane at Intheblues did. Just do a youtube search of Joyo American and it will be there.
Thanks, bro. Will do
can i connect this straight to speak that supports mic in, or into pc mic in/line in?
Yes and yes! That's the original intended use
hi great vid , great guitarist ! can you tell me where to find that backing track?
thanx, bye , eric ekkerman
Hey Eric... that backing track is a song of mine... I don't think you can't get it anywhere... or did we do some Gary Moore there?
+EytschPi42 - Hate to say it, mate, but that track was "Empty Rooms" - by Gary Moore, haha!
You go through the amp or to return?
Your buy link does not work
wow , a shit ton of sounds inthat lil box, me wants
