JOYO Zombie-II BanTamp XL Series Mini Amp Head 20 Watt Preamp 2 Channel Hybrid Tube Guitar Amplifier with Bluetooth

That tiny amp packs a punch. Love the tone.

I bought this amp 3 years ago, used it for awhile, then put it away. Why , I don’t remember. Today I took it out of storage to see if I still liked it. Well I have to say I love it! Sounds great! Only problem was when I went to take it out of its box, the box fell apart and the amp hit the floor with a hard thud. I thought if the tube didn’t break or there isn’t any other damage I’ll be lucky. I’m happy to report that the amp is undamaged and works perfectly. Clean channel sounds very nice and clear sounding. The distortion channel with the gain set around 9:30 is crunchy yet still dynamic. I couldn’t really turn the volume past 8-9 o'clock in the house without being excessively loud through a 1x12 with a speaker rated at 80watts. Very Marshally sound. Is it exactly the same sound as a jcm 800? Probably not. Is it good enough for the price they’re asking? Heck yeah! Just don’t store it in the box it came in .Find something better! Thanks for reading and thanks to Joyo for making these amps. Just design a better box! lol

Nunca he tenido un Mesa Buggy, pero este pequeñín suena fenomenal!!! Me encanta la distorsión que maneja este ampli y con un gabinete de 1x12 al mínimo de volumen ya suena excepcional... Lo recomiendo altamente, por su excelente calidad de sonido, construcción y precio. Sin duda alguna, ha sido una de las mejores compras que he realizado.

I ordered this amp to downsize from a 100 watt head to something more appropriate for my home. The reviews and videos I watched about this amp were spot-on and I couldn't be happier with how it performs. The main feature I needed was an effects loop so that I could plug other modellers into the effects return and send the audio out through my 1x12 cabinet. I've reached the point where I am stale on emulated guitar speakers and I want an actual speaker with a microphone in my signal chain. Since this amp handles 8 ohm and 16 ohm speakers, I was covered and many others should be as well. You can also use the headphones as a line out since it has an emulated cabinet in that signal, but I don't think it sounds the greatest, and I wouldn't use it in a mix. I was expecting to be disappointed with the lack of traditional tone stack controls, but what's cool is you can come up with some really decent high-gain tones with different combinations of the gain, tone and volume controls. I have found some really nice settings fairly quickly just trying out different knob positions. I've used it with a guitar directly plugged in, and I also have re-amped several sources through it to take advantage of this amp's great tones. I think using it to re-amp has been more fun since I can set up loop points in my mixes, then adjust the 3 knobs until the guitar tone sits nicely within the mix. Don't be fooled by the 20 watt power size....this little lunch box gets LOUD. I have mine running through my speaker at full volume in my isolation box and it does its job well. I don't play out or in a band, so I don't know how it would function in that area, but for home use it is more than ample. In case you're wondering, since it has a solid state power amp, you do not need to have it connected to a speaker at all times. You are free to use just headphones with it if you prefer. I haven't tried the bluetooth line in stuff yet as I have never done that with any amp, but I assume it would work just fine. It also comes with a foot switch to change amp channels if you want to do that. After working with this amp for a few days and enjoying how it sounds, I want to also get the Jackman (JCM 800) version as well to have most heavy sounds covered between this and the Jackman. For the price point, I am not certain you'll find a better deal that has so much to offer. I sweated this purchase for far too long and I'm glad I took advantage of an Amazon sale to get it for around $150 USD.

Sono rimasto sorpreso dal suono.molto simile a Mesa boogie. Perfetto 💯💯💯💯
