That amp sounds pretty cool. it definitely has that marshall sound. with the first 2 boost pedals, it sounds like it's suitable for sludge, doom, and stoner metal. with the tube screamer, it definitely sounds suitable for modern and thrash metal. I personally like how it sounded with the tube screamer.
You are fast becoming one of my favorite UA-cam gear guys and I'm not a full up metal guy. The sound, video, and quality is up there with top guys. Great job!
Huge props to you man for always going the extra mile to make your videos fun and entertaining instead of just having the same format as many other channels. I wasn’t expecting the set-up portion, but it was epic and entertaining to watch!
I have had mine about 4 months, I think it’s well worth the money. I also got a foot switch with it. Great video, actually learned something I didn’t know. Thanks
The Joyo stuff blows me away. that thing is pretty impressive. I did notice a fair amount of crackle with the Fortin 33v pedal. even after dialing the level down. didn't seem to happen when running through the cab sim. I'm actually thinking about getting one of these to travel with just for size. another killer video man.
I've got the ZoMBie and really want them to make a higher power version. The sound and tones absolutely blew me away. Had to come here to see what the Jackman was about.
I got the jackman 2 and the zombie 2, I play them both through seperate 4x12 marshall code 412 cabinets, using a a/b/y splitter to send the guitar signal to both amps. The built in distortion channel on these amps are great, the jackman gives me a jcm sound, and the zombie gives me a mesa boogie rectifier sound. Dont be fooled by their size or 20w rating, these amps are loud as hell. I put my valve heads away and use these nowerdays, that's how much they impressed me.
I was thinking about doing the same thing. I have the Fireball and it sounds amazing. Do you gig with the dual Bantamp setup? Is it loud enough with a drummer?
@@briannoojin1710 I'm not gigging atm, but I have gigged with it in the past with both amps and 2 quadboxes all running at once. It keeps up with the drummer no worries. Cheers
I know. The Grind is a legend in it's own right too. Oddly, I thought boosting with the Grind would give more of a modern metal tone... Need to try it out on an actual JCM to see if the same thing happens.
@@lucid_delirium976 Yes and no If you can find a compatible cab with a small speaker then yes. If you got 1x12 or bigger like most would have, no. It's still too damn loud specially in a flat. Not unless you can find a way to manage the volume. In my experience it goes like this. Around 9 o'clock it's not loud enough for the stage but a bit too loud for the room (depends how big the area). Go higher and then it's really loud. Experiences will vary.
i lost the war against my head and had to buy all three of them and the tweedy..meteor is my favourite, second zombie, third boosted tweedy with joyo king of king pedal (amazing), least favourite is the jackman, sounds just weak to me compared a/b to the other heads and is a must boost amp IMO, will send this back, cheers 🎸
Aw.. I thought it was the firebrand. Jackman sounds decent! I bought the zombie because of ur review. Snagged on reverb for a $100! Keep on keeping on brother 🍻
You managed to capture that boxy sound you get from these amps. Not trying to be ugly or anything these guys just have no headroom and you can hear it from your videos which makes a true demo!
I don’t really like the cab sim on many amps, but it sounds actually good on these Joyo Bantamps! I really like the Jackman and Zombie! Thx for another great demo man!
Just curious have you ever played through a Vader cab? When my old band opened for Pig Destroyer Scott Hull was using two full stacks with the Vader 2x15” cabs on bottom. It was ridiculously heavy. 🔥🔥🔥😲
Hey Taylor that weird fuzziness you hear with the low end is why I had to ditch my Peper's Dirty Trees. A lot of SS amps and preamps I owned didn't play well with the high-voltage Integrated Preamp circuit. But when I used a standard EQ pedal or boost pedal, perfectly fine.
Not a bad idea. I'd suggest the vertical 2x12, they are awesome for the price. I haven't tried their 1x12's, so I don't know how they compare, but I know the 2x12's are killer. Thanks for dropping by Ronny!!!🤘
With My Joyo Zombie, ran a ten band eq pedal through the loop, very slight scoop, Volume & gain up. Ts9 clone in front. Realllly opened up the headroom and overall volume.
Great video! Glad to see a JOYO amp review with great audio for heavy tones. love the channel! Is there an affordable cab to pair with the bantam? I have the JOYO R-15 Preamp house which is great for at home and gigs where sound control is key but I do miss having an actual rig behind me at times.
The Harley Benton cabs are pretty outstanding in their price to performance ratio. I have two of the slanted 2x12 cabs with v30's. They rip. The only thing that I don't like about them compared to my Mesa 4x12 is the highs are a little shrill, but not anything you can't EQ out.
I think what you might be hearing is blocking distortion. It happens with my Ampeg VL which is a jcm800 based amp and if you push the gain controls to high it will do a very similar thing but in a more pleasing way if you like sludgey doomy tones. This joyo doesn't seem to like it too much haha
Pitted it against my 120 watt head. Naturally the 120 watt dominated it.... however.... if you're looking for a lightweight substitute for band practice this thing is f*c$ing great! Sounds best on a 2x12 in my opinion (the low end stays in tact longer than in a 4x12). At the end of the day it's unbeatable for the price point, if you have an eq pedal in the effects loop you'll never need to haul your pricey head to the jam space ever again
What would be cool would be a demo of plugging distortion pedals into the return of the FX Loop. I do it on my old Carvin amp & MXR Fullbore pedal. Much better than plugging into the front.
@@akilluminati47 That was 2 years ago. You're right, clear as day, even listed. Don't know why I made that comment unless they changed the video since then.
@@bobjohnson5218 just helping a brother out! Happy memorial day, I just ordered myself one of these Jackman XL heads and am geeking out on the UA-cam content for them
@@thronesofblood3595 yep just ABY, nothing fancy, guitar>aby>amps>cabs. I have an EQ in the fx loop of the meteor just to tweak it slightly but that's pretty much it
@@thronesofblood3595 I never tried it, but I believe it could unless your drummer beats the sh*t out of his drums lol, then just go with bigger speakers. I'm running 2 112s. Just having the volumes at like 2 (if it were numbered) is almost too loud for bedroom practice
I got one and I found myself wanting more gain. I'm not a fan of using ods but you could and solve the issue. What's good about the lack of gain.....I find that you have to develop the sustain from your playing, your hands. So it makes you a better player.
Keep that tube screamer gain way down and just use the level up max to boost it. Even JCM’s sound better with gain backed way off and just level up. Like a clean boost. Use a tube screamer model on my HX Effects with the JaCkMan and also heavily eq it to get it to sound like an actual JCM. I favor it with delay and reverb too. Pretty much the same things you need to make a JCM sound great minus the EQ part.
That's normally how I would run it. But I like having the drive option if I can't quite get pinch harmonics or pick scrapes out of an amp. This has more to do with my bias towards trying to make everything sound like a high gain metal machine rather than where the amp sounds the best 😂🤔😪
sorry for second post but to make the jackman 2 much more useable and enjoyable just do what gary holt is doing right now, he switched back from using high gain dsl heads to stock jcm 800 with various distortion pedals in front not just a boost! there i got the joyo king of king pedals from he is using this on the jcm that is just set to low crunchy gain, this works amazing! i tried that today and will keep it now..
these amps need an EQ pedal or multi-FX unit in the FX loop. I own this exact amp. I run a cheap Zoom G1XOn in the FX loop, and use it for noise reduction/gating, EQ, Wah, etc. I don't use the amp models on it much, except sometimes for layered takes while recording. I'll sooner use a cheap or free VST amp sim for that, and then use this amp for my main tones, with a metalzone set to 2 or 3 on the gain after my multi-FX in the loop for some sound variation/tone stacking and blending or more gain for neck pickup leads.
Sounds crispy, however i'd like to see how these joyo's sound in a 110, 112 or an inexpensive cab. I mean most gear demos i see are with expensive amps and cabs. I think that anyone who could afford buying a mesa boogie amp won't need a 100 bucks amp or pedal.
Hello. I have an important and great question that is not resolved in the manual and I have not received an answer from Joyo either by e-mail when I asked them this question. The great question that I asked them by E-mail is this: I just want to connect the BantAmp as if it were a pedal in the chain. Guitar to the input and send to interface, without connecting any speaker or headphone. Can I connect it like this without any load? Do not output the sound through headphones or speaker?
edit: oh shit, that clean channel is pretty damn great. not quite as dynamic as a Marshall, but for $200 bucks, who cares? the clean channel would sound like a big nasty machine with a dimed HM2 in front and the amp set to 3 o'oclock on the tone and gain. by "enough to power a 4x12" are you referring to it being enough to push the speakers into breakup?
I really like the clean channel. And in fairness if I was using passive pickups and rolled back the volume, I could probably get some more dynamics out of it. But yeah, for less than 200 I think it's pretty awesome what you get! By being enough to power a 4x12 I just mean you can run a 4x12 without issue. In my previous bantamp videos I did some volume checks. It's loud AF.
Can you run one of these through my Fender Champion 100 bypassing the Fender Amp? I'm assuming so & I'm a newbie so any input would be appreciated. Thanks
Great review and demo but to me, this sounds horrible. I don't like the sound of a JCM amp so I suppose this amp is accurate. In cases like this it's always a dilemma, do I thumb down because I don't like the product or thumb up because it was a very well done demo. Thumb up because you're worth it Taylor, you are worth it!
I have an Orange Micro Dark that does the exact same thing as this joyo does when you slam it with a really high output pedal. I hit it with a big muff and it just can't handle the doomy chugs
Hello. I just bought this amp and I wonder how should I connect it to my cab simulation pedal. Through "speaker output" or "phones" or "FX Send"? I'd appreciate help
Hello! Incredibly sorry to bother you or your followers. Give it to me straight, Doc. Should I buy this or are there better options *in this pricerange* for a small tube amp you wanna run as a preamp. Thanks
If you're not interested in using this to power a cabinet, then I wouldn't bother. I would get a pedal for a preamp. If you really want to have a tube, there are pedals out there, but honestly you probably wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference wether the preamp has a tube or not.
Honest critique: please dont over explain, we are all here for the sound so already have a basic understanding. Sounded like the guitar's tone knob was down? Love the videos though, cheers!
Hi! Great stuff. Do the Bantamps have any kind of digital amp modeling or is it only the cab? I haven't found any info whether it's 100% analog or maybe some simulation in combination with analog amplification. I'm looking for a "cheap" way of trying analog by combining e.g. a bantamp with IR's but I want no amp modeling. I contacted Joyo about this but no response.
That's a good question. I don't know how they are emulating the sound of the original amps. I know the preamp section is at least partly tube so that's analog, and I don't think there is any digital emulation happening, but I could be wrong. Definitely some sort of cab emulation happening in the headphone out... don't know that it's digital though. The way I used the bantamp in this video and then added the IR in post was to use the FX send out to my interface. Good luck!
@@chrisvuk3053 I've found two teardowns of the Zombie mki but that is mostly gibberish to me. I also found a forum thread where they discussed the schematics and someone wondered if one component was a DSP chip, but noone could say for sure. It might only be for bluetooth. Joyo should be transparent about this IMO. E.g. Hotone, another relatively known cheap microamp manufacturer, has an FAQ where they say their amps are 100% analog. I don't mind digital, I've used it for 20 years, but I can stick to plugins for that. I just want to try analog mostly for the fun of it, and I want the MB sound without becoming broke.
@@Tenbrink I agree, it would be helpful if Joyo could have clarified from the beginning if these amps were 100% analog or not. However, since people have down a schematic and recreated the circuit successfully that should be pretty conclusive that it is completely analog. as far as the chip, it is a CSR8635 Qualcomm, "Single Chip Bluetooth Audio ROM Platform ", so that is for the Bluetooth audio.
@@TaylorDanley it’s cool man I was being silly. I do recommend trying passive equipped guitars too. Emg’s are great but come across cold and ice picky on UA-cam compression.
I know, I should have got out one of my passive equipped guitars, I just didnt think about it until I was editing. I'll have to keep that in mind for the next one!
Just got mine in and.... it doesn't work, just makes POPS every second. The headphone output works (noisy and bad sounding), but the main output is straight up broken. Returning it tomorrow and gonna give it one more try, otherwise it's a disappointing experience so far.
Can I plug this amp straight into the interface? I heard it has a speaker emulation on the headphones out? Or do I necessarily need to do FX send and IR?
I think the class 'D' power section takes some of the warmth out of the tube pre-amp....Probably would have sounded better with a good class 'A/B' power section. Did they offer a pre out jack? that would open the door to using a better power section and more cabs.
Let me think of how to craft my comments so that I convey my sincerity without seeming negative. The Marshall JCM is arguably the most versatile of all rock n' roll tones that the 20th Century introduced us to. However, when someone wants to know where the tonal integrity of a JCM lies, it isn't really a question to answer paired up with EMGs, or with high gain metal riffs. The integrity of a JCM tone lies in clarity and detail - note separation in full open chords. Malcolm and Angus Young riffs, some classic Whitesnake riffs, old Def Leppard from the first couple of albums, or some '80s journey riffs, Deep Purple riffs, or some old Hendrix stuff -- with PAF humbuckers, a P90 or two, or some classic Fender single coils... That's the voice of a Marshall. I certainly do not take issue with the quality of your playing, merely the relevance of the style and material that you chose for the review of this gear.
Every metal amp, guitar, pedal, player all sound exactly the same - only one tone and distortion at max (or made to sound like it's at max). Seems to have no regard for 'tone' at all. It's all; gain > Gain > GAIN!!!!! At that point, which gear you use (or what player's fingers are doing it), it all sounds exactly the same. Pretty much every sound demo-ed (including the playing) sounded the same. I'm pretty sure that amp can do a LOT more than heard here. I'll go check out other posts to find out. Thanks anyway.
This is cool if all you’re interested in is metal but based off this video, I wouldn’t want to buy this amp. And I do chug. But not all the damn time. You didn’t think to pick up a Tele or Les Paul. You’re a one trick pony. I’m unsubscribing from your channel. See ya!

By being enough to power a 4x12 I just mean you can run a 4x12 without issue. In my previous bantamp videos I did some volume checks. It's loud AF.
@@TaylorDanley That is what the word around the campfire is pretty consistently. More loud is more good.
Yeah, definitely!
Can you run one of these through my Fender Champion 100 bypassing the Fender Amp? I'm assuming so & I'm a newbie so any input would be appreciated. Thanks
it really needs a EQ to make it more tight cheers nice video.
Awesome review mate
Great review and demo but to me, this sounds horrible. I don't like the sound of a JCM amp so I suppose this amp is accurate. In cases like this it's always a dilemma, do I thumb down because I don't like the product or thumb up because it was a very well done demo. Thumb up because you're worth it Taylor, you are worth it!
I have an Orange Micro Dark that does the exact same thing as this joyo does when you slam it with a really high output pedal. I hit it with a big muff and it just can't handle the doomy chugs
I really wanna hear this go head to head with a Friedman BE mini
I like these more than the orange tiny or dark terrors
Hello. I just bought this amp and I wonder how should I connect it to my cab simulation pedal. Through "speaker output" or "phones" or "FX Send"? I'd appreciate help
You can try a equalizer too
try the joyo bantamp meteor 2
Hello! Incredibly sorry to bother you or your followers. Give it to me straight, Doc. Should I buy this or are there better options *in this pricerange* for a small tube amp you wanna run as a preamp. Thanks
If you're not interested in using this to power a cabinet, then I wouldn't bother. I would get a pedal for a preamp. If you really want to have a tube, there are pedals out there, but honestly you probably wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference wether the preamp has a tube or not.
Honest critique: please dont over explain, we are all here for the sound so already have a basic understanding. Sounded like the guitar's tone knob was down? Love the videos though, cheers!
thing reminds me of my old marshall
Hi, i can i use the Boss GT1 Multi Pedal in the fx loop of the amp?
For Eq, compressor, delay and reverb?
Thanks from Austria
CHRIS!
4:36 Isn't that a Mesa Cab?
😂Yes. Whoops!
Hi! Great stuff. Do the Bantamps have any kind of digital amp modeling or is it only the cab? I haven't found any info whether it's 100% analog or maybe some simulation in combination with analog amplification. I'm looking for a "cheap" way of trying analog by combining e.g. a bantamp with IR's but I want no amp modeling. I contacted Joyo about this but no response.
That's a good question. I don't know how they are emulating the sound of the original amps. I know the preamp section is at least partly tube so that's analog, and I don't think there is any digital emulation happening, but I could be wrong. Definitely some sort of cab emulation happening in the headphone out... don't know that it's digital though.
The way I used the bantamp in this video and then added the IR in post was to use the FX send out to my interface.
Good luck!
I was curious as well, turn out it is indeed 100% analog. There are people who have done a schematic, as well as a full teardown.
@@chrisvuk3053 I've found two teardowns of the Zombie mki but that is mostly gibberish to me. I also found a forum thread where they discussed the schematics and someone wondered if one component was a DSP chip, but noone could say for sure. It might only be for bluetooth. Joyo should be transparent about this IMO. E.g. Hotone, another relatively known cheap microamp manufacturer, has an FAQ where they say their amps are 100% analog. I don't mind digital, I've used it for 20 years, but I can stick to plugins for that. I just want to try analog mostly for the fun of it, and I want the MB sound without becoming broke.
@@TaylorDanley Thanks! BTW you should do a video about the drums in your mixes because they sound great, especially in your Bantamp Zombie video.
@@Tenbrink I agree, it would be helpful if Joyo could have clarified from the beginning if these amps were 100% analog or not.
However, since people have down a schematic and recreated the circuit successfully that should be pretty conclusive that it is completely analog.
as far as the chip, it is a CSR8635 Qualcomm, "Single Chip Bluetooth Audio ROM Platform
", so that is for the Bluetooth audio.
I take it your a big Kevin Lee fan?
Funny you noticed.. I was listening to a podcast style video on UA-cam while setting up. BTW, it’s The Weasle, best mma content on YT IMO
Do you plugged the cabinet through the Send jack .? The Speaker jack is at the other end of the amp?.
Is it loud enough for gigging?
No 80’s riffs or Slayer. Flag on the play!
Someone is always going to be let down by whatever riffs I choose. I just let the gear inspire whatever comes out.
@@TaylorDanley it’s cool man I was being silly. I do recommend trying passive equipped guitars too. Emg’s are great but come across cold and ice picky on UA-cam compression.
I know, I should have got out one of my passive equipped guitars, I just didnt think about it until I was editing. I'll have to keep that in mind for the next one!
Just got mine in and.... it doesn't work, just makes POPS every second. The headphone output works (noisy and bad sounding), but the main output is straight up broken. Returning it tomorrow and gonna give it one more try, otherwise it's a disappointing experience so far.
How did it go ?
Can I plug this amp straight into the interface? I heard it has a speaker emulation on the headphones out? Or do I necessarily need to do FX send and IR?
They need to make a bluejay2 as well.
Still need to
@@akilluminati47 for sure I ended up getting a zombie 2 pretty nice little amp. Definitely recommend it
@@oneeyeddog6127 I just got my Jackman in the mail today and made an unboxing video
Hey do you think this could pull the classic Dissection tone? Since Jon used jcm800 and jcm900.
YES
@@TaylorDanley thanks,seems ill order one then :D
Which one has more gain the zombie 2 or this?
do the joyo use cathode follower on the tone stack?
Pretty sweet
So get this for my room or the mjolnir?😂
jackman ii or zombie ii for birthday?
I think the class 'D' power section takes some of the warmth out of the tube pre-amp....Probably would have sounded better with a good class 'A/B' power section.
Did they offer a pre out jack? that would open the door to using a better power section and more cabs.
Let me think of how to craft my comments so that I convey my sincerity without seeming negative. The Marshall JCM is arguably the most versatile of all rock n' roll tones that the 20th Century introduced us to. However, when someone wants to know where the tonal integrity of a JCM lies, it isn't really a question to answer paired up with EMGs, or with high gain metal riffs. The integrity of a JCM tone lies in clarity and detail - note separation in full open chords. Malcolm and Angus Young riffs, some classic Whitesnake riffs, old Def Leppard from the first couple of albums, or some '80s journey riffs, Deep Purple riffs, or some old Hendrix stuff -- with PAF humbuckers, a P90 or two, or some classic Fender single coils... That's the voice of a Marshall.
I certainly do not take issue with the quality of your playing, merely the relevance of the style and material that you chose for the review of this gear.
5:33
That's a really good morbid angel tone...holy crap
Or you could just turn the volume ☝
Wisj the different models were explained better..website is terrible
Every metal amp, guitar, pedal, player all sound exactly the same - only one tone and distortion at max (or made to sound like it's at max). Seems to have no regard for 'tone' at all. It's all; gain > Gain > GAIN!!!!! At that point, which gear you use (or what player's fingers are doing it), it all sounds exactly the same.
Pretty much every sound demo-ed (including the playing) sounded the same. I'm pretty sure that amp can do a LOT more than heard here. I'll go check out other posts to find out.
Thanks anyway.
Lies. This is not loud enough to Keep it with a drummer.
If you plug into an 8 ohm cab yes
Everything in hi gain...boring
Cheap kid stuff, good for beginner , sounds weird
This is cool if all you’re interested in is metal but based off this video, I wouldn’t want to buy this amp. And I do chug. But not all the damn time. You didn’t think to pick up a Tele or Les Paul. You’re a one trick pony. I’m unsubscribing from your channel. See ya!
