Members LSDis4me Posted November 4, 2012 Members Share Posted November 4, 2012 Got one of these for 20 bucks through the Marc Mart Mooer deal. Excellent sounding pedal! I don't really like the low gain tones, but medium gain is great. Like how it's dialed in here at 4:10 I didn't really like the Joyo American Sound (Fender tone). Didn't seem as good from what I remember of the Tech 21 Blonde, but I got rid of that pedal, too. The Joyo Sweet Baby was decent, but too mid-rangey for my liking. I expect to keep the AC Tone.

Members gambit Posted November 4, 2012 Members Share Posted November 4, 2012 still enjoying my 'California'.. a Mesa that sounds good at low gain. i'm hoping joyo will make a copy of the Oxford/Orange one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Beyer160 Posted November 4, 2012 Members Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm hoping for a Joyo version of the Leeds, myself. Maybe call it the Wight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spoonie g Posted November 4, 2012 Members Share Posted November 4, 2012 I can see they take the chinese form of business ethics. Sounds good, though, if not a little polite for an ac-clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members caeman Posted November 13, 2012 Members Share Posted November 13, 2012 For you owners of these amp simulation pedals, are you running them by themselves or at end of your FX chain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LSDis4me Posted November 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 13, 2012 Like any other OD/Distortion, early in the chain, before moduation/reverb/delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NewRiggins Posted November 13, 2012 Members Share Posted November 13, 2012 just picked up a Joyo Crunch Distortion Saturday for $25 and am very pleased with the tones I got out of it at rehearsal. It's a great marshall sound for when I need it, which is most of the time. Seems well built but there are mixed reviews about the reliability so only time will tell there. The previous owner said he had it on his board for quite a while with no issues though so keepin' my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mchad Posted November 13, 2012 Members Share Posted November 13, 2012 I've got one and as far as overdrives go it ain't that bad. No fizz. I'm not that much of a pedal overdrive fan...I think amp overdrive is a better option. But this one seems to be okay. Not much money either so pretty safe to give it a try.

Members LSDis4me Posted November 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 13, 2012 No speaker sim in the Joyos. The British Sound is okay, but I'm gonna sell mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members caeman Posted November 13, 2012 Members Share Posted November 13, 2012 I am interested in one of these joyos to put at the end of my FX chain because I am guitar amp-less. I thought an amp sim pedal might as some amp-like character. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a British on order from marcmart but erm....it hasn't turned up yet and they don't seem to respond to emails. If it fails to materialise at least it was cheap and I didn't do too much moolah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speaker sim on the Leeds is not that great and I prefer it left off. Other than that it's fantastic. I think an EQ pedal will provide some more flexibility.

Members brebis Posted November 13, 2012 Members Share Posted November 13, 2012 At the beginning of the video you unplug the power cord and that shows that Joyo lied - On my AC Tone you can read "TRUE BYPASS" near the foot switch and that is obviously wrong! Also I find the AC Tone very noisy, even at low gain settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about using the speaker sim on the Leeds going into an amplifier, or into a PA or computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it seems like you achieve the same effect the MXR 10-band EQ. The treble roll off occurs with the sim switched out. I think an EQ pedal is going to allow greater tone sculpting.

I like the Leeds a lot but into a guitar amp not so much. As you may have discovered those Tech 21 Character pedals have very sensitive controls and are capable of heaps of tones. Lots 'o tweaking.
