JOYO American Sound Amp Simulator Pedal of Fd 57 Deluxe Amplifier from Clean to Overdrive Sound for Electric Guitar Effect - Bypass (JF-14)

Wow! I’d seen plenty of online reviews & demos about how good this was for the price. They weren’t wrong. This is a fantastic bit of kit for any price. I use it primarily to emulate a clean Fender style amp which I then put into a PA and it sounds great and handles pedals very well. Only thing you need to watch out for is if using a power supply it needs to be quality. Cheap PSUs can introduce noise. Recommended 👍

LOVE THIS PEDAL! I've been using this pedal for over 10 years now and had to buy another one. I use it for recording directly into my audio interface as it gives it some lovely character. Paired with a fender jazz master guitar. Worked with a award winning producer and he said it's the best guitar sound he's heard when DI'ing a guitar straight into a desk. I also have used for gigging for many years instead of bringing an amp with me I go straight into a DI box from this. Very durable, these things last! Overdrive sounds great, surprised they're the price they are...SUCH good value.

This amp simulator works well. Used with my Italia electric guitar and orange amp I can get some really lovely smooth warm sounding mild distortion. It was a great buy. Cheap too.

It’s an iconic pedal for a reason and an absolute bargain. It does have a little buzz when the strings are open but that could be my home wiring

This is such a great pedal, i just can't believe what you can get these days for less than £30

Good value pedal with authentic fender sounds. The 6 knobs give a variety of tones. Great for blues.

This is a great pedal for the money. Holds its own against many more expensive ones in my collection. Good range of tones and drives from "transparent" through to saturated. On the downside, it's not great if pedalboard real estate is important to you.

The Joyo American sound is an excellent Fenderish pedal. It appears to be a copy of the Tech 21 NYC Blonde, but as someone who has also owned that pedal, it's a little bit different. The voice control sweeps mid frequencies in conjunction with the gain control to allow a range of Fender Twin, Fender Deluxe, Fender Bassman, Fender Tweed tones, but it takes some time to work out how all the knobs interact to fine tune the sound. I use the pedal with an additional external IR into a PA, but it works well without an IR and sounds good enough for going direct. Much harder to run into a conventional guitar amp unless you can bypass the preamp, but still works that way as an overdrive pedal. It's not exactly the same as the superficially similar Caline American pedal and the Joyo has a battery compartment which can be useful. A remarkable pedal for the money and well built. Perhaps the best cheap guitar pedal on the market?

You can get pretty good sounds out of this pedal from Fender blackface to tweed. It punches way above its price.

Of all of the pedals listed in the Amazon sale, I bought 3 within a short period: Flanger, Digital Delay, & American Sound. I used to have a collection of 70 pedals (mostly Boss, as well as pedals from Keeley, DOD, EHx, Digitech, Whirlwind, Ibanez, Voodoo Lab, Rocktron, etc.) The trio I purchased makes an incredible effect chain: American in front of the amp with the Flanger & Delay in the loop. I tested switching the order of the flanger & the delay, & I found I like the sounds of flanger before delay. If I can get my flanger to sound like a chorus & my delay to sound like a timed reverb, then I'm in tone Heaven! I get that from these Joyo boxes! Considering their cost, I can't believe how sturdy and heavy they feel. All of the reviews you hear/read of these pedals are accurate. The American Sound is based on Fender amps and gets an amazing Seattle tone. It is meant to be used as an amp sim, plugged into a mixer or a flat amp or a pro-audio rig. I have it plugged into the front of an Orange bass amp; the 6 knobs on the pedal and the 7 knobs on my amp give me a huge amount of control over my tone. The Digital Delay is called "digital", but it has a simulated analog tone. I.e., the repeats are programmed to decay. I prefer digital delays with no decay, but this still sounds great! The Flanger tones can be really stretched from subtle chorus and vibrato to airplane flanger and crazy robot sounds. It's a really good quality tone from something so inexpensive. I switched from all the great classic pedals in the past to no pedals and onto these inexpensive pedals. It is great to have this versatile effect chain for barely over $100 - my deliberate protest of the $300+ pedals out there these days.

Good enough as a backup amp on its own for the odd times I play out, and worth the entry fee for that alone Other than that it's also yet another OD but it also works at home as a fun amp to experiment with quietley. My expectations were ballpark good enough versus high end and it's certainly that. I am not a tone chaser or pro recorder feeling I need some for some last nuance, nor do I have ambitions of gigging for a living. I also can't be bothered with sub menus or computer interfaces to get lost in. It's not that I could not I just don't want to fiddle with the current tech as a casual hobbyist. My review is with all that in mind.

Amazing pedal for price. Rated as one of best for harmonica giving old style tube like sounds combined with reverb and delay pedals from Azur also from Amazon at kick ass prices.

Muy buen producto para tocar en vivo directo a la mesa (no funciona como DI, pero emula muy bien el sonido de amplis)
