    I have one and I run a Dirty Tree in front through a 2x12 with v30s and it sounds insane. The DT cleans up the bottom end perfectly. You cannot beat it for the money.

    I have the first Joyo Zombie and while I liked the tones I was getting, the one thing that was really annoying was not having a foot switch to change the channels while playing. I was on the fence about getting the new version but thanks to you and your video, I am definitely gonna pull the trigger on this one!

    I got one of these used for just shy of $100. I think that I like it more than the Orange Micro heads. Lots of good features. Would have maybe been cool to have a USB out as an interface. The drive channel is pretty dark sounding - maybe an overdrive would solve that. Cool amp. 👍

    • @springbloom5940

      *Excessive* gain. I've never turned the gain past 3 or 4 to actually play and not just screwing around or showing it off to someone. Also, over about 50% volume all the dynamics flatten out and it sounds like a solid state practice amp. At moderate volume and gain, it does sound pretty good. The clean channel is awful.

    I have one. Slamming the front end with an mxr gt od really tightened it up, super aggressive now my amp gain is basically off, I don't notice a difference past 3 on the gain but with a boost gain on 1 is plenty. It fuckin slays. Ordering an EQ or a bbe for the loop next. I'm super stoked on my purchase. Sounds better than some much more expensive amps I've owned/played lol. Def gonna look into trying a couple more of these lil guys out!

    • @TONEWARSgearshow

  • @jaxonv2098

    You can try putting a compressor in the FX loop which will create tube sag and tighten up the palm mutes with a sharper attack

  • @petset77

    The combination of that amp and cabinet sounds pretty good through computer monitors. Do you use different cabs sometimes? I also hear the unpleasant breakup you mentioned when pushing gain on the distortion mode. ...leading me to ask what pedal you're using to clean it up. As an old guy now just playing at home, I don't want volume. I really like the little Vox modeling amp I got for lots of tones. Adding a tube preamp with 12AU7 (vast improvement over the stock 12AX7), unless I'm on clean models, driving it with even low gain adds the ugly breakup you show here. I'd consider one of these plus the right add ons and speaker for messing around the house. Thanx for your video, and any insight.

  • @jaykafcas4342

    That’s exactly what I would use it for, the effects loop, my guess a Diezel Herbert preamp pedal through that box of dynamites effects loop.

    Nice chops. Got 2 one by one and returned both. There was some issue with blending clean guitar signal to distorted channel . Even if volume was down to zero on Od Chanel clean signal was still present. Anyway good little amp with an amazing amount of gain, maybe will try another one soon. Mayby they fix this problems

      No problems with the original, but yup same clean channel bleed through here with the XL as you. It’s even worse with high output pick ups. Also the effects loop is messed up, the XL will not slave out, and direct into effects return takes out gain and tone controls (normal) but also the volume control??!! (NOT normal)

    • @Mynightmare82
      @Mynightmare82 Рік тому

      Have exactly the same issue with my Zombie 2. Zombie 1 is fine, so I modded that back and added a channel switcher, works great. The Zombie 2 OD/clean bleed only does it on the speaker output, if you use the headphone Jack it’s fine, so weird. Hopefully the Zombie 3, if they make one will work the right way?

      I use an MXR 10 band with mine.
      With that, you can get rid of the cocked wah sound if you want. Personally, Unlike it, but the center of the mid needs the sculpting.
      I also have a parametric EQ, but haven't tried it yet.

    • @robertpeters7641
      @robertpeters7641 Рік тому

      I'd also say, that a more neutral boost does a better job with the 10 band in the loop.
      A tube screamer seems to emphasize the cocked wah sound on its own.

      AFAIK Chuck was using his stealth guitar with X2N pickups on a JCM800, the closest amp should be the jackman in this case but you need high output pickups to get that kind of sound. Hope this helps.

      @@TONEWARSgearshow yes sir. Well, pretty much the whole joyo line, the Harley Benton head, and the smaller, inexpensive orange heads. I basically want a small decent sounding amp that will work/ sound good with my pedals. My main amp is a code100. It's an awesome amp, and I can get convincing tone of any Marshall ever built, but it does not take pedals well. No matter what I try, it always sounds fizzy. It's great for everything from blue's, classic rock, to thrash. Modern high gain, not so much.
