Joyo BanTamP Zombie Demo/Review || Tiny Metal Amp, Big Metal Sound!!
It's a highly modified 1972 Les Paul Custom. One of the previous owners decided to install a sustain block drilled for import bridges (because a '72 LPC isn't heavy enough already). Every time I use this guitar I get at least one question about it, so let's just get that out of the way lol.
More affordable gear reviews please! It's exciting because its stuff many ppl could suddenly decide to buy.
That thing is a tone MONSTER
Weigh it! I always hold my neck in pain when I see how much 70's customs weigh. My neck is stuffed anyway and 9 pounds is about the absolute limit with a nice padded strap.
Thats a NOICE Guitar
As always, I love the channel and great review. I really like this series of amps. Same price as a mid-range drive pedal, but it's a freaking amp.
One suggestion...when you do the clean and dirty playthroughs on amps or pedals, maybe run a couple guitars through (fishman, PAF, traditional active, single coil, whatever). Your mix always sounds good and it would be cool to hear some of the other guitars run through as well.
Keep it up!
If Simon isn't invited to GitCon 2018 they're doing it wrong.
"I randomly chose the Dual Rectifier"
I was thinking more of an orange but the sound made me think twice
I actually liked the Joyo over the Dual Rec.
HP said it was modeled after dual rectifier but with more engl-like "focused" tone.
Me too - it IS much tighter and focused.
Thus my point
I know right! When he played the Zombie right after the Rec I was like "oh shit the Zombie actually sounds way smoother"
@@MK-oz2lf I think so too. Rectifiers are a bit muddy compared to Marks. I welcome this current hybrid movement. Having a solid state power section enables a tighter low end. Back in the day, the hybrid Marhall Valvestates 8100s had a similar quality (though of course with the typical Marshall sound).
I own the Dual Rec as well as this Zombie, and I gotta say, most often I plug into that little bastard and rock out. So quick and simple, and looks fkn wild perched on my schecter 412 cabinet. I tried it with a 212 cab with my band practice but wasn't enough in that situation. As it's been said, only real negative is the lack of a footswitch. Other than that, a great amp to have.
I bought this head in February 2018. I love it. I’ve pushed it hard and it still kicks back. I think I paid $140 for it new and worth every penny.
I actually think the joyo dirty clip sounded better
GuitarGodsUnite it really does
Definitely.
yep, it's tighter
Omg yes i love the room mate says section where he takes a look at it. seriously keep that up i love it
They now sell the Zombie II, that has a foot switch and two sets of controls, one clean & one od
You got the best tone out of the Zombie that I've heard so far man. Hats off. I just ordered one because of your video.
I preferred the Zombie to the Rectifier... *braces for impact*
You must be def
I really love Joyo's take on the orange amp line, this thing breaths fire though, especially for the price, this is like an amazing starter lunch-box head and honestly sounds pretty damn lamb of God like to me
Now time for the Mesa vs Hotone Heart Attack vs the Joyo Zombie
I think the two amps together would sound amazing in a mix.
1:02 i can't believe i never thought of that pipe cleaner trick for muting overtones, thanks!
Do my ears deceive me or did the Joyo sound tighter than the dual Rec when it came down to comparison?
The joyo does sound tighter
Not gonna lie, I'm pretty sure the Zombie is based on a Mark-series amp, not the Recto. Given it's really tight without an OD (the OD in this test was completely unnecessary lol) and it has a juicy kind of sound (sounds weird but listen to Metallica's Black Album and you'll know what I mean), I'm not surprised that the Joyo was tighter than the Mesa
Jamieson M the dual Rec is a naturally flubby amp, so yes, the joyo is tighter
Wayyyy tighter
Is it because its under driven? Like if you open up the volume on the fuel rectifier would it tighten up a bit?
Sounds really good. Super impressed.
in my opinion, the zombie sounds tighter and more aggressive, while the dual rectifier sounds floppy and soggy.
These are cool for recording. I think they sound better going into a Two Notes than into a cab, and easy to have a rig on stand by. Once it is mixed in a track, it's super capable of delivering good sounds (maybe not blowing minds, but workable and the average listener wouldn't think twice)
Those riffs are some of your best! Keep it up
I had the same feelings about the amp when I checked it out at a local shop. Joyo also has a small all tube called Mjolnir that is under $500.
Thoughts on doing a Boss Katana review? Or other modelling amp for people on a budget?
Don't waste your time. Buy a Zombie, a Harley Benton cab (or some 2x12 cab) a reverb pedal and one overdrive pedal.
cwbewley1985 for busking, a katana is the way to go. But for an amp to use at home, I wouldn’t recommend it
I've watched a few demos for the joyo zombie and I'm very impressed
ok that sound was very "in your face"... didn't expect it sincerly. pairing it with a precision drive is a very nicely aggressive match. this is cool!
Like most budget rigs, I’m impressed by the cost-to-quality ratio. You’re right about putting some saturation in front of it, it’s pretty reliant but turns an ok amp into something I can see on a small gig or maybe even a larger stage. Curious to know if anyone out there uses this as a main live rig.
I love the zombie and the bantamp series. They put out some quality sounds for what they are. My only issue with the zombie was when i put my ts9 into the front it gets a bit fizzy in the top end. This may be the fact I’m using a pretty old and not so great cabinet or that I’m more of an orange amps guy at heart. Other than that I’ve enjoyed it
Relieved to see you rate it so highly. I love this channel.
Nice dirt tones! Also I could see myself using that clean as a pedal platform. Definitely gonna consider this thing paired with a good cab to play at home. Great job, Hunter!
Impressive tune on this one!!! Great riff and awesome tone!! Good work my friend!!
can you review a baritone guitar please? Keep up the room-mate thing, it is awesome!
Ok. It's official. With Torpedo and recording equipment any amp can be made to sound amazing. I've owned and sold this amp and it couldn't come close to this! You got skillz! 🤣
Dude this app is awesome I went ahead and got the Jackman never heard anything about these amps until today November 22nd 2021 and I made for sure I used your link because they are on sale for $75 up to $139 depending on which one you decide to get amazing little amps let me tell you
The riffage was out of fucking control. I loved it. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Love the Zombie. Replaced the tube with a Marshall Tube.
THAT DEMO TRACK WAS INCREDIBLE
The pedal he’s putting in front of it costs about the same as the amp lol
lol this is true...
True but it worth it!
Ha! Pedal is $30 more...
The Amp sound is faked cause using the horizon pedal. :/
Tru Dominik What? That doesn’t mean it’s “faked”. The pedal simply tightens up the overdrive a little.
This is the best tone i've heard on your channel. Ho Lee Chit!
hilarious review, good job on pumping out content hunter.
Rad jam dude, Head sounds great too. My buddy’s been looking for a fairly inexpensive setup, I’ll have to send this video his way.
I just bought this amp a few weeks ago. It's very nice for the price. You DO need an overdrive or Boost however to get a really good tone, ESPECIALLY of you are tuned really low like myself (A standard and drop G). O recommend this amp for either a practice amp or for a betweener amp while you're saving to buy the one you have your eye on.
Love or your demos and this one was crazy you really played the hell out on this track the guitar work was pretty awesome,by the way i sent for the zombie ll with the petal and separate clean and dirty channels with 6 knobs 3 per channel but thanks again rock on \m/
Super tight playing, my good man!
bro the riff at the start fucking killer
it sounds INCREDIBLE
I love how you always show your settings and gear in the beginning of your video. So many people judge all of the tone on the single object being reviewed.
Aye! A LOG fan! I love it.
I've had one of these for a couple of years and I love it. Getting the two-channel (6-knob) Zombie ll next... anyone have one? Does it sound as good as the original single channel?
Own both and the XL is the same. They did change the headphone to regular 1/4” Jack instead of micro on version 1. The channel changing is awesome without any noises. Still has loop and all from version 1. The channel foot switch is metal and pretty damn rugged. I run them both in stereo through a 4x12 and they slay !!
I would love to hear your thoughts on the boss Katana. A lot of the reviews don’t really cover it on hard rock/metal use and I would love to hear the tones you could get out of it!
Ive got the zombie my self, i werent realy impressed by it. The clean channel is pretty good, the drive channel i feel is a bit thin sounding ( could be that i use a traditional lp ) the bluetooth works ok, its «ok» for an beginner. The fx loop is also «ok» works alright if you have not too many pedals. I would say its an pretty alright practice amp. Just my opinion about the amp. Nice video Hunter as always :) cheers from Norway :D
I have one and i seem to be using it all the time!
There’s now a version that comes with a footswitch
Do more of these amps. I prefer the sound of this to the dual rec oddly enough
spot on review as usual man
I have this Little Monster too.
It's great, I agree it needs a Tube Screamer ish type pedal,
I have a EHX East River Drive Pedal for that, & it tightens it up.
With effects through the loop, you're set.
My Ibanez RG 1570 with DiMarzio's screams through this thing.
The cab sim is great, awesome buy for 220 in Australia.
Fantastic, Joyo..
Another player here obsessed with Les Paul's basically. Gibson Custom stuff to Epiphone. I picked up the 1955 model Epiphone. Seriously good guitar. Now it just needs to be updated with a pair of 57 Classic humbuckers from the factory and I would be all over that in 2 seconds.
What did youtube do to make that zombie sound better than dual rectifier?
Whatever it is, Im buying one.
Jesus christ the headroom and lowend on this amp is insane
The riff was awesome 🤘
I've seen these amps before, seen pretty decent. Been thinking about getting one for my step dad. Like the zombie sound over the dual rect.
Dude, by your face, i thought you were about to play some soft pop or some weak blues... but dude, YOU'RE AMAZING! I'm a happy metalhead now
lol I actually get that a lot. I've been told I look like someone who listens to Jason Mraz all day :(
@@agufish i feel sorry for you lol
With all these badass "lunchbox" heads coming out, I've been thinking it would be a good idea to get a decent 2x12 cab and start collecting some mini heads. Seems like a great way to accumulate a range of great amp tones for relatively low cost.
I agree. I have the Orange Micro Dark and the Dark Terror. I love them and I would really like to get the EVH LBX
Awesome awesome awesomeness. Great riffs and those willie fishmans are the highlight of it all. I am going to buy those Willie Fishman 's. I already own the KSE's which are killer as wel. Killer vids. Love your work.
I have a pair of the KSEs that I haven't thrown in anything yet... how do they compare to the Moderns?
Agufish I don't know the moderns, but from my perspective fishmans are tweaked EMG's in general with a passive voice option in my humble opinion. The KSE's are difficult to describe but I will try: bridge is like a slightly tweaked EMG 85 which makes sense because KSE used that in the past, still tight bass response as hell. Neck is really full and fluid great pickup as well. Hope that helps
Holy shit, the zombie sounds lowkey kinda better then the rectifier, crazy
"Impressive! Most impressive!". Joyo Zombie vs Orange Micro Terror? Both are cute/adorable but pack a wallop
"randomly chosen" the dual rectifier LOL
For like 5 bucks and 5 minutes of your time you could wire in a jack in place of the clean/dirty selector for a foot switch.
6:16 I guess the cat prefers the Zombie...
Simply upgrading the preamp tube improves the sound of these amps a LOT.
What would you recommend as a good replacement tube?
@@beaglegod1 I put mesa boogie tubes in the vivo, firebrand and Zombie. Ehx tubes in the others
what a coincidence! i randomly guess the dual rec was the amp youd pick!
You can get the bugera g5 used thats all tube and you can switch channels with a footswitch for the same price.
The Zombie sounds better than the Dual Rectifier IMO
Jesus Christ Hunter. You get better every video. Kudos you badass.
Check out the Vivo (the "5150" model) next?
Ola Englund fangay yes plz. Not enough on youtube for metal. All demo it with dad riffs/songs... 🤣
it does not need a tubescreamer..or any screamer. The distortion is mean as hell just the way it is.
You should try getting a metal tone out of a boss katana. I haven't heard of a good modern metal tone out of it yet
Kappa Chino it's not hard at all. I have one and with the software it's stupid easy.
Denver Williams can you do a demo on it, please? I want to get one, but not being able to pull a wide range of tones is a deal breaker for me
Kappa Chino You might want to check out JB Aubry's channel or Juca Nery. Plenty of patches also at guitarpatches.com.
You have to get into the "sneaky amps" software and from there you can get good metal tones. Otherwise, you'll need some pedals to get you there. I recently got the K50 and was rather disappointed overall until I found the "sneaky amps". Then the amp came to life and started producing impressive tones for a $200 amp.
enle7es lead channel has plenty of gain. I've put an overdrive on that channel and it gets unreal.
Stevie T's long lost brother
Check out the Mjolnir by Joyo!
Damn. This thing sounds massive
Great review👍
I love the recto sound but both times i've gotten to play a dual rec i've not been able to dial in a tone I liked, granted that was before I got into tube amps and knew what I was really doing lol
Super interested in picking up a zombie and running it through the power amp of my egnater armageddon
Great video dude!
I really like how you did the A/B with the Mesa. If you could do that with guitar reviews (comparing the reviewed guitar with a standard reference), it would be helpful in hearing some of the characteristics you are pointing out. Thanks for your vids...they are a great reminder that guitar playing is meant to be fun. Keep it up!
Naja, Footswitch nice to have. Was ich mehr vermisse bei den kleinen ist eine vernünftige Klangregelung, hau da mal nen Equalizer in den Signalweg und schon geht die Post ab. Erweitert die Einsatzmöglichkeiten dieses kleinen Brüllwürfels ganz enorm.
Hey really nice review on this. Just subbed in because of it.
Is that low end signal coming out of that amp?!!!! Or is that your bass / mastering? I definitely hear the MB Triple Rec in there. The dirty sound is approaching the Boss HM-2 (Japanese version!) territory used by many of my favorite metal bands like Bloodbath. Did you play around with the bluetooth much? I imagine you would get a lot of signal loss with the signal format just like when using it with my phone and car audio system. Awesome demo as always, dude.
sweet chops dude !
those are very cool, you should review amps more often
Fuggin riff though \m/
I'm wanting an amp that's a bit more portable compared to my Peavey Bandit. Assuming you can run this head into any sized speaker cab (I've seen an Orange micro terror being ran into a 4x12 cab before so I'm assuming you can with this? But I'm not too sure), you could take this head to a gig and use one of the venue's in house cabs, or even plug it j to the PA system if they don't have any speaker cabs for you to use. So on the portability and it being able to be plugged into a speaker cab OR a PA system, for gigging it sounds like a good option
Joyo just answered your wish with the XL.
Great review, just wish you used the fx loop to run through the power section of another amp
6:16 Dual Rectifier is better, because with the Mesa Boogie amp your metal riff summoned someone dark from somethere, but playing into Bantamp had not revealed this effect.
yeah and costs 20x+ the price
I'd tell anyone starting out that loves to play metal sounding guitar riffs NOT to buy loads of pedals, just buy THIS small thing + guitar cabinet - SO much cheaper than going down the pedals route initially! It kicks ass!
A channel footswitch is the only thing that lacks, you're right. Otherwise I would have bought that thing earlier.
Have you considered taking a look at Joyo's VIVO? It's from the same line as the Zombie, and there aren't really any sound demos on UA-cam available (all of Joyo's official demos sound like they were recorded on my left toe.)
20 watts can take you far sometimes. Tube amps seem to be another level, but my Krank Rev Jr Pro 20w goes over 118 dB without me able to confirm any higher than that. I think the 100 watt Slash SFD Marshall is 124 dB and while 6 db is a difference you can definitely gig with 20 watts from the right amp.
This thing is technically a solid state amp, that has one preamp tube. That's the thing tho, that I've never understood about amps & such. Measuring in watts is very deceiving. For example, 50 tube watts gets way louder than 100 solid state watts. Thats why I've always thought it be much more accurate to gauge it, in decibels.
ok so this video has your best riffs full stop
Killer Vid. Killer Track. Great Job so glad I subscribed. :)
that toung action at 2:50
Nice work on those tight pinch harmonics on the double track. Do you comp your tracks at all? I’ve been wanting to understand a little more about it so when I do song demos I can get my ideas down a little faster. Any insight would be helpful. I like to hit when the creativity is hot and double tracking really slows me down.
