  • A comparison of the amp sims that these two have in common! An extensive demo of the Preamp House can be found down below!
    Preamp House Direct Demo - • The Joyo Preamp House!...

    The guitar used is tele part caster with Fender single coils, a warmoth neck, and an Emerson Prewired Kit installed.

    The amp is a Tyler Amps JT14, which sounds similar to a vintage Fender Princeton but with a little more low end and body!

    One of the reasons the Iridium sounds considerably better is that you always have the Strymon much louder than the Joyo. Fletcher-Munson in full effect here!

      It's reasonable to have different expectations for a $200 pedal compared to a $400 one. However, it can be a bit frustrating when reviews seem unfair. This might happen if a reviewer's personal preferences influence their opinion, or if they're more accustomed to using higher-end gear, which naturally produces better tones more easily.

    I have a Marshall rackmount 9004 pre based on the 900 series. And this Joyo comes close enough on its 900 setting that it gets a cigarillo.
    And in tone testing between the two I had to open them both up with master volumes at 5 or above. They had personality at lower volume but after that it was game over. Time for heads to headbang and roll.
    Chug doom and thrash riffs galore. And plenty of sustain decay/feedback testing.
    The neighbors and the neighborhoid dogs must've been thrilled.

    the only explanation i can think of for the volume difference is that the joyo sounded better and had to be handicapped

    You had the master on the Joyo too low. You gotta open up that pre. I have one. Turn up the master. Turn down the lower vol.
    Strymon was much louder.

    The Strymon does the whole hog -preamps, power amps, speakers, cabs, mics. The Joyo does *some* of that - no power amp sim (for starters). But you can get the NUX Solid Studio to pair with it, that'd be killer. It offers a LOT for the $$. I'd maybe take the Joyo+NUX over the Iridium, but I've never played through an Iridium, so I don't know for sure. I do kinda hate Strymon, so that may play a role...

      Hmmm interesting combination Joyo+Nux. If that's the combo where should you put the time based effects; Nux -> time based + Joyo or Nux -> Joyo -> time based inside joyo's fx loop?

    Cool comparison, Aaron! I do think the PH sounds a little quieter and more compressed overall. I would be interested to see you try a head to head Fender comparison between the Iridium and the Joyo American Sound.

    I really like seeing competition in the market place. And this Joyo is a good start. Iridium is the premium product is most aspects.....and i hope in the future it will have an effects loop and DI out. Competition is what usually brings about change...so i hope Iridium will change. (I own an iridium). Joyo is a great product for a lot of the market place. IN Canada the price of a Joyo is pushing 1/3rd the cost of an Iridium....money talks. Bottom line....great to see good value in the market place.....keeps everyone honest.

    @larrychalcraft9083 4 роки тому

    Looks and sounds to me like you were still on the Fender sound while comparing it to the Iridium Vox. Light should have been blinking when you changed amp sounds and it wasn't. Probably cause you changed the amp profile while still in bypass mode.
