Let's see your AMP!

As a dude who also own several small heads/amps I love this!
Wanna give us a rundown of the different Joyo-amps?

[coldbrightsunlight]

Wow ck3 that's quite a stack!! Also interested in Joyo amp things, but I'm wondering if you can offer some sort of comparison between the "weird EQ" quilter 101 and the "normal EQ" overdrive model?

I've got a 201 and I love it but sometimes the strange EQ bugs me (and I know what I'd need to do to tweak it on a regular EQ amp). It does have a lot of range and is good, so maybe it's a grass is greener thing. But do you find the "normal EQ" one hits the same general vibe but with simpler to work with controls?

Maybe I should just buy an EQ pedal though...

Quality control has varied with stock Joyo power supplies, and I also had a V1 Meteor and Vivo at prior points. All units have ample volume on tap, though I'm unsure about gigging potential.

Atomic-Had to order more than one to get a functional unit. Both channels are overdriven to varying extents and touch sensitive enough to clean up with lighter playing dynamics. Works well for Post Punk, Psych, and British invasion tones as-is and can enter Hardcore and modern Punk territory if the hotter channel is boosted with an overdrive. Hotter fuzzes and drives get pretty flubby for the most part, but something like a Buzzaround, Tonebender, or Rat with gain under 12:00 can sound pretty solid.

Jackman II-This is my Shoegazing machine. Plenty of clean headroom and takes all dirt pedals well. The gain channel is classic, barky Marshall goodness and can become old school thrashy when goosed with a Tubescreamer or 80's LA Metal incarnate if boosted with a Rat.

Tweedy-Probably the most versatile of the bunch. Gain varies from Blues lawyer territory to the verge of chug depending upon settings (even without external boosting).
Extreme ends of the voice control are a bit hissy with both channels. The clean channel is Fendery and takes all dirt like a champ.

Zombie II-Total Djent solution. Unsure how accurately it emulates a Boogie Dual Recto, but appreciate the thunderous, tight chunk possible with everything from an E-standard-tuned Les Paul knockoff with P90s to an 8 string in drop E with active EMGs. There is almost an HM-2-type grind mid-wise. The clean channel may be a bit of an acquired taste and is a bit too trebly for external gain sources.

Meteor II-Doom in a box when the dirty channel is cranked and works well for Hard Rock and moderate Metal tones at lower gain levels with boosting. The clean channel is also a fantastic pedal platform.

An additional EQ pedal may prove helpful in either instance. The active OD 200 EQ allows for more control, though the mids can be a bit wonky, which may partially be the product of their decision to make the hotter channel more scooped.

Thanks! I think I'll look more to an EQ to sculpt the mids better as I'm happy with the thing most of the time. And yeah my main issue is that the mids can get a bit weird playing high gain. So probably a little tweaking in front of the amp/in the FX loop is going to sort it

Wedged an Orange Supercrush 100 into the pile, which seems like a worthwhile addition so far. I plan to A/B it with the Joyo Meteor II when time permits. Also need to bust out the Tomsline AB/Y box at some point and tinker with parallel configurations, possibly incorporating dual pedalboards. Pointless mancave noodling for days.

Cool, I've been looking for a non-tube bedroom amp to replace my Washburn VGA 30R... ideally, something with an FX Loop that can deliver from a nice clean sound as a platform for my pedals (Fuzz Face clones) up to an overdriven sound (not necessarily a high-gain distortion). Of all the amps you own, which one could be a decent option for that?

[ck3]

The Joyo Jackman II and Tweedy would probably work well for that sort of application, as would the Valeton TAR-20G. All of them are surprisingly loud.

JFC this wall fucks hard.

When I was gigging - I would have creamed my pants over this - Dark, Loud, with so much variety.

Well done sir!

Strong Xzibit vibe. I heard you liked amp head, so I get you amp heads so you can amp head while you amp head.

[Blackened Soul]

got a head case for the mesa from casesmithcustoms and put a blue grill cloth over the silver metal on on the H&K

Cool colour scheme, the Mesa looks nice in a headshell, bit more interesting than it's normal pure functionality look.

New room, new amp'n'cab tetris.
Dynacord + 2x Peavey cabs is for desktop setup. Everything else is for BASS (à la wet/dry/wet).

boom

Must sound righteous. Crazy wall
