We are living in the golden age of guitar tone. I remember having a Marshall Valvestate 2000 50watt stack and thinking that it was the best I could get for the $1200 I had. Now for $1200, you can get a fantastic tone from a pedal plugged into a used Matrix power amp, into a beat up cab with at least two new speakers (Greenbacks preferably). That’s assuming you already have a decent guitar.
Yes and no, we are lucky to have channels like this where we get to find out which amp rip and which don't, but the thing is that the prices have gone through the roof. You used to be able to get a 5150 for like $500, now they are like a grand more. The market in general is a lot more expensive now.
I just got my FS06 in the mail today, and it's an amazing pedal. The sounds are all great, the flexibility built into the pedal is spectacular, it feels well built, save feature is incredibly useful, 3-band EQ lets you really dial in your tone. For $68 I got 14 pedals AND a preamp. I also own Flamma's Reverb and Modulation pedals, and I'm not done yet. This company is definitely one to watch.
These companies modeling the Friedman stuff are absolutely killing it with that amp model. Pretty difficult to model a Mark series amp in a set up like this since you don’t get that graphic EQ or anything, but with a boost it still sounded silly good. I would love to see some shootouts with the Joyo Preamp house if you still have that unit. Amazing video as always dude!
🤔 I'm sort of shocked at some of these comments... several different sounds for a 3rd/4th of the price of a cheap modeler. Nice find Taylor. Cool acceptable tones. It's like 7 Mooer micro preamps in one pedal. Score.
Just got this today and so far I’m enjoying it. I mostly play direct to PA these days and sometimes I don’t want to drag my Mesa Mark V to a gig even though it has a built in cab clone. This is a nice option when I want to travel light.
Seems like it's a good budget option to have in your bag in case your main rig goes down at a show, and need something decent to go into the PA to finish the set.
If you can find one, try a Sonicake sandman. Like this, except it's 5 highgain tones in a mini pedal. And it's cheap enough. Marshall jcm, Engl Savage, Diezel Vh4, Mesa Rectifier and 5150
Would love to see the Flamma vs the Mooer Preamp Live!!! I’m really impressed with the flamma so far but love all the extras the Mooer has over it. It would be awesome to see some side by sides of each amp model they have to offer (dual rec vs dual rec, 5150 vs 5150, etc.) Thanks man, killer content 🤘🤘🤘
On the 3rd Party IR, the mode 7 surely packed a lot of chug, you'll really notice the transition of mode 7 from the rest of mode 4 to 6. Packs a lot of tone options especially for heavy stuff.
The new track sounds really cool! The pedal on the 5150 setting and BE-100 were both pretty good especially with the 3rd party. Built-in were a bit sad. Like a lot of other gear out there, if you know what you're doing, you can make it work pretty good for the application.
Thks U for this review. For 70$, sure it's more versatile and has a better stock cab sim than a mooer preamp pedal stuck on only one tone. Good deal if you can't reach the joyo preamp.
The sounds are pretty good overall. I wish the Plexi section had more bark, but still very serviceable. It would also be cool if there were a presence knob in addition to the all the other controls, I do not get why almost no one does this.
All that for 70 bucks = amazing. The Plex and 5150 tones are amazing, Mesa is a little dry but could be worked over with some post FX maybe. The Coral was stupid good sounding, very open. That's enough for me to buy one hands down. Wasn't even looking for a preamp, but well if it's good it's good! :d Cheers man
ENJOYED THE SONG @ 19:55 YOU SOUND GREAT PAL . I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF MODELING GEAR FOR A LONG TIME . SO HAPPY THAT ITS FINALLY GOOD ENOUGH FOR SOME PEOPLE TO EMBRACE IT , INSTEAD OF BEING SNICKERED AT BY THE TUBE AMP CREW . shit cl . if you live in an apartment , its just a fact of life you cANT have a collection of massive and un-effecient tube stacks . it doesnt make me less of a musician , i can take care of that by myself .
Your demo and Burgs both sounded good. Though the stock cabs vs. 3rd party IRs weren't that much different sounding. It seems like a cheap backup option or a way to add a few more amp models to whatever existing device you might be using.
They sounded pretty different in person. Like a 4x12 vs a 2x12. The built in cab sim is actually pretty good, it's just more compressed and a little darker than what I prefer.
@@TaylorDanley I'm planning on picking one up here with some Christmas $. I am going to incorporate it into my GT1000Core rig to add a 5150 and Friedman and see how they fare.
Hi friend, I saw that this pedal saves the configuration of each preamp. Two questions: Are they automatically saved after the pedal is turned off? And does he have the ability to save the 7 options or just a preamp?
At the rate that technology is closing the gap between high end modelling and products like this. I honestly see software VSTs becoming much better value. As soon as technology progresses hardware based products become obsolete. If you plan to gig I think hardware makes things easier, but I couldn't fathom putting all my faith in a product in this price range. Am I alone here?
You are not alone, when I shop, I just don’t look at current tone and options, but I also look at future support and updatability. Like line6, boss, mooer, etc.why buy a bunch of pedals when you can pick up one master emulator?
So this is all you need when connecting to a PA? no other pedals were used ...so no more dragging a big amp and then have hassles with Mics ? lol i'm new to this...help me obi taylor !
Hey love your channel !!! Awesome i was about buying a joyo zombie ! But what about that pedal plugged in fx loop of my combo ??? Can you tell me have you tested in fx loops ? Thanks a lot
Nice review! The Joyo AmpHouse you reviewed was so good I added it to my pedal board so I can be completely ampless when the need arises (Or so I can perform riff salad late at night without waking the family). A couple of things I've noticed: the flamma is great at its price point but its worthwhile to spend a few more ducats for a wider variety of great sounds or buy like a mooer amp sim for the same price that is going to model a specific amp tone more accurately. QUESTION. Is it just me or do the amp emulators run incredibly bass heavy (like watch out for the mud, bass heavy) My EQ's always seem to tend to have more mid and treble. On a traditional tube amp these setting would definitely put my EQ more Djenty or hairmetal shred. Great channel as always.
I have 2 questions. First of all, can this pedal be used as an on-off for tone switching between the actual amp's tone and the pedal's tone? And second of all, can the high gain and low gain channels have different settings for treble, mids etc?
It's 2 kicks layered. One is the DW collectors kick from the perfect drums library, the other is some sample that I've had for 15 years and I can't tell you what the origin is because I have no idea lol. I believe it was the sample used on American Me's "Heat" if I remember correctly.
Hi there, Do you go from this pedal directly to your audio interface? Is this the way you recorded in a daw? Usually analog drive pedals sounds bad if we connect it to a sound card. How about this? Thx
I kind of agree - all the clean presets sound the same - no "sparkle" at all. And the distorted models are all very similar, too, which they should not be. I'd rather go with either a Joyo Preamp House (twice the cost, but way better sounding), or buy the individual Joyo "Sound" series pedals. They each are very characteristically different - each has a very unique flavor.
All the sound quite a bit the same because you always use that EMG pickup, it dominate the sound EMG has a grit digital'ish when it have a gain. And i notice some of your video you always use that EMG Pickups and have the same result not transparent. Better to use neutral sounding guitar or pickup to hear the original sound and to hear what the player need to buy. 🤔🤔
Man to be honest they all sound like shit to me. I get it it's a $70 pedal but that that money and put it towrds something that does 1 thing well. Not something that does a few things crappy.
Dude, I bought this digital POS and it sounds like shit. I just literally returned it, had to go to my nearest ups store and returned this piece of crap. Warning Don’t by this product

How was it so far? Have you tried using live? Sounds a bit thin bright in this video. Not in a bad way, I’m just saying frequency wise.

The sounds are pretty good overall. I wish the Plexi section had more bark, but still very serviceable. It would also be cool if there were a presence knob in addition to the all the other controls, I do not get why almost no one does this.
I believe that's because the presence and resonance are usually tone controls related to the power amp section.
You know what would be fun is a compilation video of your hair growth journey 😆. But seriously 😎
😂😂😂😂 not a bad idea..
All that for 70 bucks = amazing. The Plex and 5150 tones are amazing, Mesa is a little dry but could be worked over with some post FX maybe. The Coral was stupid good sounding, very open.

I just ordered this pedal. A little late to the punch but I just happened to catch this video and I'm excited to get it.
the best rewiew that i saw!!1 congratulations.

So thanks to this video I had to snag one of these and have been tracking songs all morning. Fwiw the 5150 and ac30 blend nicely for punk songs.
Nice! Maybe with custom ir loader possibilities in the pedal itself it was amazing
great review... very enlightening... greetings from Brazil!!!
My name is also Taylor. Taylor’s unite
Pretty cool pedal. I might buy one eventually. Not because I need one of course but just for fun. Will definitely use 3rd party IR's.
So now we wait for a Harley Benton version?
Still can't get over the Flamma FX100 vs the Harley Benton dnafx git 😬🤣
Yeah they look identical lol
The coralreef i think is the coral amp from two rock.
those beautiful 5150 circuits, always a little dirt under the chin no matter how many times you "try" to clean it off!
Great track and show case of the pedal in all modes, well done :)

the best sounds are in distortion channel
I just picked this up. But haven't had the chance to give it a try yet. Hoping it sounds ok.
The price point was good.
This sounds soooo good damn!
Soundwise which one would you choose? Flamma FS06 or Mooer Preamp X2
The Fender and Vox emulation were just terrible. I'm amazed they decided to bring this product to market.
Hi friend, I saw that this pedal saves the configuration of each preamp. Two questions: Are they automatically saved after the pedal is turned off? And does he have the ability to save the 7 options or just a preamp?

🤘🏼😎🍺
On its own, not bad, but not mind blowing, however, in the mix, all the models sounded pretty decent for what it is and the cost.
Yeah, I forgot how low the retail was until I made this video. I think it's probably one of the best values of any piece of gear I reviewed in 2020
@@TaylorDanley $70.00
hey , how to use the external IR? thanks
Flamma Fs06 or Mooer preamp x2?
Hi Taylor, are you the new Ola Englund?
I could never fill those shoes.
Is there any delay or latency issue when switching between high gain and clean channel?
So this is all you need when connecting to a PA? no other pedals were used ...so no more dragging a big amp and then have hassles with Mics ? lol i'm new to this...help me obi taylor !
Yes, you can go straight into a PA or FRFR.
so this doesnt have an IR loader?
Dude! This or de mooer preamp x2?
Taylor, Can you plug this pedal into the input of my ampli as a distortion pedal?
No
Hey love your channel !!! Awesome i was about buying a joyo zombie ! But what about that pedal plugged in fx loop of my combo ???
Can you tell me have you tested in fx loops ?
Thanks a lot
if I'm going to include this on my hybrid pedalboard setup, where should I place it? should I plug on the effects loop?

dude what kick sample are you using? sounds murderous
It's 2 kicks layered. One is the DW collectors kick from the perfect drums library, the other is some sample that I've had for 15 years and I can't tell you what the origin is because I have no idea lol. I believe it was the sample used on American Me's "Heat" if I remember correctly.

ML Sound Lab
Which RODE mic are you booming with?
Rode Mic Pro I think? The newer version
Hi there, Do you go from this pedal directly to your audio interface? Is this the way you recorded in a daw?

This has a cab sim that can be turned on and off, so it can be used into an amp or used straight into mixer or recording interface.
can you learn some other whammy bar tricks other than fast and down
Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻
Personally, it sounds meh to worse. Flabby bottom end, full of artifacts. Blech.
For 69 bucks this doesn't seem bad at all.
I kind of agree - all the clean presets sound the same - no "sparkle" at all. And the distorted models are all very similar, too, which they should not be.

Is it digital or analog?
Digital
This thing crapped out on me after 6-8 month's and got very, very noisy...
The evh 5150 was best tho...
Two Rock is probably a "John Mayer" strat tone/SRV
Your thumb picking is scary 😂
For the price it's ok. Could probably do better with free software.
For 70 bucks damn!!!

Joyo preamp house vs this one?.. help me everybody on comment section..
Serve para baixo ?
Em teoria serve, mas se fica bom é outra história
O baixista do gojira usa um ts7 se servir como parâmetro
🤘🤘🤫😬
M e h not really feeling any thing at all with this pedal
Man to be honest they all sound like shit to me. I get it it's a $70 pedal but that that money and put it towrds something that does 1 thing well. Not something that does a few things crappy.
you should switch to playing bass because all of your guitars sound like a bass. they all have bass strings on them.
Dude, I bought this digital POS and it sounds like shit. I just literally returned it, had to go to my nearest ups store and returned this piece of crap. Warning Don’t by this product
Sounds fucking awful
How many more amps, cabs, effects do you need? This is just a waste of guitar time.
