The Joyo American Sound amp simulator pedal is an incredible piece of guitar gear. Whether you use it as your main amplifier solution, as a backup amp, or as a way to seek out new tones, the value you get for just $40 is outstanding. In this video, I’ll be diving deeper into the sounds you can get from this guitar pedal and pairing it up with a few of my favorite effects to see how it fairs in a modern guitar rig.
Is the Joyo American Sound still relevant in 2022? Watch the video and let me know what you think in the comments below!

Do follow up videos of setting up the Joyo AS/BS for different use cases: home recording to computer (running simple Audacity or Reaper that are popular), small gig with a clean inexpensive amp the player brings (and using the Joyo as the amp and cabinet simulator treating the amp like a PA, perhaps a JC120 or Bandit amp), larger gig with pro PA and hooking in the Joyo with inexpensive DI box without giving the sound board guy fits.

@williamj.sheehan2001 Год назад

Thank you so much, Andrew. Just a quick question: if I'm wanting to use the Joyo at a gig in lieu of a traditional amplifier (running the Joyo into the PA system), do I need to first route the Joyo into a DI box, and then from there into one of the XLR channels on the PA head? Or may I simply run a quarter-inch cable from the Joyo's output into one of the quarter-inch inputs on the PA head? THANKS!

@andrewclarkeguitar Год назад

You'll likely need to use a DI Box of some sort.

@NZ1one1 9 месяцев назад

Great demo, thanks! I have one of these and find it great as I play in church so gives an amp-like tone into the mixer. Question though; where is this best placed in a mono signal chain; i.e. before or after the wet effects?

@andrewclarkeguitar 9 месяцев назад

I'd suggest experimenting with both before and after. I'd say most players place this before delays and reverbs. If you're getting any sort of breakup from the pedal, then before is probably going to be better. If you're running it fairly clean and getting all your grit from other pedals, then it's not going to matter too much.

As usual on these types of reviews and demos , no signal chain . This is huge on how anything sounds ! Can you please state the chain you used here ? Thanks 😊

@Brother93Mali 2 месяца назад

I used this pedal directly into the mixer on a New Years gig we had last year. So basically i used: My guitar -> Wah -> DS1 -> Nux CH3 -> DD7 and the JOYO American Sound straight in the mixer. I thought at first that the signal is going to be weak and the tone not thick enough, but the combination of this pedal and the DS1 was so full and creamy I was pleasantly supriced of how everything sounded. I highly recommend this pedal.

@TahmidIshrak Месяц назад

have you tried it with a DI after the joyo american?

@Brother93Mali Месяц назад

@@TahmidIshrak Considering that the pedal is a DI itself, no. If i have the chance I will try it in the future but I don't see the point of doing so. The pedal is powerful enough by itself and in combination with like TubeScreamer or DS1 it delivers suprisingly thick tone. Ofc if you turn it off then the whole volume level drops which you're not supposed to do with this pedal because you know... Would you turn off your amp in the middle of the gig? :D

@TahmidIshrak 29 дней назад

@@Brother93Mali what if i use it before wet pedals and after ds2 or a ts9 for example what iim trying to ask is that ive seen many ampless users put their UA 300usd++ amp sims put theirs between wet and dry to kind of get the fx loop type of setup and should it work with the 40usd joyo too?

@Brother93Mali 29 дней назад

@@TahmidIshrak That's applies more for studio setup like you would see in programs like guitarRig or BiasFx. Yes you can do that, but I find it better if I use it at the end of the chain because the efects are more prominent in this case, and what I do sometimes is I put a reverb pedal at the end to act as a glue if the mixer does not have any reverb on it. I think that's personal taste, but yes you can use it like you said too.

@Lu1sCarvalh0 Год назад

Mine is modded to defeat the cab sim, you can google the mod and diy if you´re handy with a soldering iron. This way you can use IR´s. Sounds great and does the job. Been using a Helix and comparing to this pedal (and all analog pedals, really) I find that digital has a few high frequencies that are out of balance. I notice this when I bring the volume really high. Helix hurts the ears, the Joyo (or analog) is pleasant.

@DravenxEyeless 8 месяцев назад

don't forget to do a low cut at 80hz and a high cut at 10k with your helix IR section, that does wonders.

@Nickshreds890 6 месяцев назад

Hi Andrew! I found this very useful, I recently bought a POD GO and I was so disappointed because it doesn't perform anywhere near as well as I hoped it would. I didn't even realise it was possible to obtain awesome amp tones from pedals at such a cheap price like this Joyo pedal. The only issue for me is that I play through a Boss Katana. I wonder if that would be a problem with a pedal like this? I do have the Boss Katana MK II 50 watt which allows you to plug into the power amp. I do that for the POD GO . I'm wondering if I would plug this in power amp section of the boss katana or the input jack? Sorry if this is a real newbie question, all of this is quite complicated to me. I love the tones you're achieving here by the way! It sounds very satisfying. It's got that Hendrixian tone I'm particularly fond of as well as quite a few other tones considering it's just one pedal ! It does seem to be really versatile. 15:08 that Univibe tone is heavenly! nicely played

@Nickshreds890 6 месяцев назад

By the way, thank you for explaining everything in depth. I'm looking at getting a few of these pedals . I like the look and sound of the Tc Electronic Ampworks pedals. I'm thinking of buying the 550 Tc Electronic ampworks for high gain sounds ( i've tried several EVH amps and always loved the high gain sounds! ) and a 65 Combo deluxe for clean tones. They both sound lovely to me. I'm thinking i'll get those pedals and use them into my boss katana and just stop buying things for a while! Have you tried the TC Electronic ampworks pedals? What do you think about that? Am I wasting money when I could just use my Boss Katana and play around with the effects and tones it offers? I'm sick of playing in menus and just want to play my guitar. I'm not old I swear haha. I love the feeling of a real amp and it's addictive. I know it's not portable and not as convenient but for me I like to experience a real amp in the room and the tones I already achieve on the boss katana are very pleasing to my ears. Anyway, thank you so much in advance. If you do have a chance to reply i'll be very grateful! Your playing is brilliant ! :)

@alemascia Год назад

Still good in 2023 IMO. I have a stupid question: can you clarify where you had the pedals in the signal chain? You don't seem to clearly mention it. If the American Sound is an amp-in-a-box pedal, I would expect all other pedals to go in front of it. On a separate note, since you mention it at the beginning of the video, it would be great to add in the description the link to the Joyo Vs Dream 65 video. Thank you!

@aryoadhitomo 10 месяцев назад

yes, drive would be in front, the slight problem is this have cab sim that cannont be turned off and no send return, so fx either go after cab or before amp

In many cases the mixer will be at the back of the venue. In smaller venues or at home, you likely won't need one. But for any larger venue you'll need a DI or Line Isolator to convert the signal to XLR and run it over a longer distance.

That's interesting. When the Dream 6 came out I watched a lot of videos on it and was unhappy with some of the sounds while I thought it did well with others.

But that's fine because I have other overdrive options. But recently I wanted to get a better sound from my Roland Micro Cube and the Joyo performed extremely well in that regard, it really sparked up the Micro Cube which is otherwise a bit dark and dull.

@mikeb1589 Год назад

Do you put the compressor after the joyo or before?

@andrewclarkeguitar Год назад

I prefer the compressor before the joyo.

@mikeb1589 Год назад

@@andrewclarkeguitar Thanks for answering my question. I have another one....did you say you could use it as a headphone amp by just plugging headphones into the out jack? That didn't work for me; I didn't get any sound out of either ear and I had the guitar plugged into the in jack and there was power to the joyo.

@ButternoteBackingTracks Год назад

To chime in here, I've been using one for years to create all my guitar tones direct. I've had a lot of praise for the quality of my blues backing tracks (for which I am very grateful), it just works really well - you'd need to spend a lot more to improve on it. Def a sleeper, grab one before the price starts to hike!!

Can this pedal goes straight to pc? Does it have usb connection

@ButternoteBackingTracks Год назад

@@aryoadhitomono, you will still need an A/I to use it.

@djjohnnyvicarious Год назад

@@ButternoteBackingTracks just curious would this be in the end of the signal chain with all the other pedals before it?

@ButternoteBackingTracks Год назад

@@djjohnnyvicariousyes, you could use it that way. I go direct into an audio interface dry and use software effects - allows more scope to tweak the sound post recording.

@mr.d.572 Год назад

I have one and it's really great for the most part. I actually run it through the effects loop in my amp. The only drawbacks of the pedal are: 1) it does get noisy when the gain is moved past the 3 o'clock mark. And 2) the gain itself does not sound good past 3 o'clock, it sounds "farty." But that's okay because I use other pedals for gain.

@andrewclarkeguitar Год назад

For sure! I don’t have an effects loop on my amp so I can’t try that unfortunately.

@paolo-1283 Год назад

It would make difference if you add a mooer micro di at the end of the chain

@juankartxui Год назад

Sorry...do you use a DI to go to line??? Or just plug it straigt???

@tutatis96 Год назад

If you plug it into an instrument input of an interface it goes to the internal DI, I'm assuming that that's what's happening here. Also if the volume is enough you don't need a DI at all and you can go straight into a line input.

@frankfrank7921 Год назад

Years ago I had the whole line of Joyo's Tech21 copies. Their price point was/is great. The pedals however are not great but they are good. I found the cab sim to be the weakest point and never liked the recorded sound I got from them. I sold them all and moved on to Line6 and Fractal modelers.

If going into an amp then using the amp speaker is fine....but going direct into DAW... Mine sounds 100% better when using an IR in the DAW....same with the other $40 amp in a box JOYO pedals...😁

Interesting! I did not like it with my IRs (celestion ones). Felt overly filtered. Maybe just needs more tweaking on my part. :)

Too much pedal always in the chain to be able to understand the sound of the Joyo. This videos makes no sense. You are showing off your pedal board and not the amp emulation Pedal
