    I recommend using a Direct box (DI) if going straight into a PA (no amplifier). It will maintain the signal better. I'm including a couple of links below to Direct box options as well:
    Price: $
    Joyo American Sound
    amzn.to/3msXExX
    Joyo American Sound - Fender amp simulator. It's a great choice for those who want to achieve a Fender-like sound without the need for an actual Fender amp. Compact, well made, very affordable.

    Very helpful demo, Roly! Thanks!
    I'm looking forward to the A/B comparison between this pedal and a head of lettuce, which I'm sure you can make sound great! 😉
    Be well!

    Just got one and love it. you really do need to run it through a DI box as you say. Much more controllable. I tried it through my trusty 520 dx shure mic and the hohner harp blaster SE with a low to high impedance transformer to the JOYO then DI to my fishman acoustic amp. I prefer the Shure mic Finally got that Rick Estrin sound

    Interesting and the price is terrific....Been using a Lone Wolf Harp Break with my trusty fishman loud box artist or Fender Blues Deluxe reissue...(not together) but this might be great when I plug into the usually bad stage amp/PA at local gigs...sure would save my poor old back and have a clean getaway at 2 in the morning LOL

      @@docsharmonicablues DI means Direct Injection (not fuel injection lol) Takes a high impedance signal (from Pedal) and changes it to a Low impedance signal..in this case makes the signal more controllable without losing sgnal strength. I am using a passive ( not powered ART one google it for a better description

    Hello Roly, I'm Alessandro from Italy.
    I really like the tone that you get from this setup. I also have a Joyo american sound and i'm experimenting with it, the harmonica and several mics. I'm looking for advice because i'm going to use the Joyo AS into a PA through a DI box but i'm not able to decide which mic to use between the Samson R21S (Low Z) and the Superlux D112 ( High Z). In your opinion, which is best for the above mentioned setup? Thank you

    • @RolyPlatt
      @RolyPlatt  10 місяців тому +1

      Thanks. Unfortunately I haven't tried either mic but I would guess the Superlux D112 would do you better as a harp mic. After that, it's all in the settings you choose.

    So let me see if I have this correctly. I can go from the pedal directly into the PA with a standard instument cable 1/4 in. jack and bypass the need for an amp? I read somewhere that you need to go through a DI box? Thank you.

    • @RolyPlatt
      @RolyPlatt  Рік тому +1

      Yes it’s recommended to go through a DI box. The challenge is to get to know the pedal’s settings and levels. If you play around into an actual PA, and get the settings right, then it should work well anywhere. You need decent monitors, ideally your own but at least to get the sound and volume you need.

    The joyo American sound is a clone of the tech 21 blonde pedal. I have a joyo American sound pedal that I use for guitar for a while now and I just dusted it off to try with harp. I wonder how the other joyo Oxford, British, AC tone would work for harp?
