Impressive!
My God, so impressed with this little amplifier. Great tube tone., from this hybrid unit. I’ve coupled this to an 8” Vox 20w cab. This is very versatile. I would recommend this amp for any beginner and intermediate, even any pro guitar play as a great practice amp alternative. I have a Marshall Plexi and this sounds almost as nice over driven. So impressed.

Fantastic amp
This little amp is absolutely fantastic and sounded great. It’s crazy loud. Unfortunately I had to return it due to a faulty valve (tube). The quality of modern valves is patchy at best so I do not hold that against the amp or brand. In hindsight I should have just replaced it myself and kept the amp as it was really great. It’s fantastic value, looks great and the Bluetooth is so helpful. I am strongly considering buying another one.

Good clean sounding amp.
This is a very good sounding amp and well made. nice and clean sound for jazz and blues,it also takes pedals very well and added bonus having an effects loop. Very loud if you wish and would probably be loud enough to do a small size venue,the bigger the speaker you use the more volume you will get. A very good amp for price. Dont forget you need a speaker to plug into. Great sellar and fast delivery.

JOYO BanTamp compact + great sound
Bought this mini amp-head for its size, which is very practical and convenient to cart about, to say the least. With a pedal using FX loop, the sound is as good as any I’ve come across. I’m sure the bluetooth will benefit some, but as I’m recording straight to a DAW, I’ve no need to use it as yet. A little gem; I may get another.

Great piece of kit
Bought as a gift for my husband who is learning and he really likes it! It's high quality and for the price point, it's a brilliant piece of kit. Would absolutely recommend for a beginner to intermediate player.

Brilliant, fantastic, amazing etc
This little amp sounds utterly amazing, it is the sound i have been after for decades. I ran it into two 16ohm 1 x 12" , 100w cabinets and the sound was immense and impressively loud for its diminutive size. Highly recommended and could be mic'd up through the PA far larger rooms

That tiny amp packs a punch. Love the tone.

Pretty impressive little amp. I got tired of using my mesa boogie dual rectifier to practice at low volumes so I bought this. It is very similar to the real thing only not as loud. Still quite loud, but im not sure if its loud enough for a full metal band live. Much like the real thing, it responds best when you put a od pedal in front of it to tighten the low end and make it chug harder. The effects loop is a nice feature and it works great. The Bluetooth option is great for learning a song or playing along with one. Technology has come a long way since the 90s and this is a good example of that. Back in the day you'd have to buy a full-sized marshall valvestate to get a hybrid amp, but now all that and more is condensed into a light weight lunchbox sized head. Headphones work well with the cab Sim built in too. Mesa sells a lunch box dual rectifier but with this I dont know why you would spend 10 times the amount you pay for this. Just a killer amp!

La série BanTamP XL franchit un cap avec ce Meteor II. On retrouve ce qui a fait le succès de la marque : une architecture hybride (lampe 12AX7 en préampli pour la chaleur et transistors pour la puissance) qui délivre 20W surprenants de coffre. Les points forts de cette version XL : 1. Contrôles indépendants : C'est le gros point positif. Avoir des réglages de Gain, Volume et Tone séparés pour les canaux Clean et Distortion change tout en utilisation live ou studio. Le footswitch inclus permet de basculer instantanément entre les deux. 2. Le Son : En distorsion, on est sur un typage britannique moderne, très "High Gain", incisif et parfait pour le métal ou le rock musclé. Le canal Clean est une excellente plateforme pour les pédales, il reste cristallin et réagit très bien aux overdrives externes. 3. Connectivité moderne : Le Bluetooth est ultra pratique pour envoyer un backing track depuis son téléphone et s'entraîner par-dessus. La boucle d'effets (FX Loop) est un vrai luxe à ce prix, permettant de garder ses modulations propres même avec beaucoup de gain. 4. Pratique silencieuse : La sortie casque avec simulation de baffle est correcte et permet de jouer tard sans réveiller tout le voisinage. Verdict : Compact, robuste et très polyvalent grâce à ses deux canaux débrayables, c'est l'ampli idéal pour le transport, le studio ou même les petites scènes. Le rapport qualité/prix est, comme souvent chez JOYO, imbattable.

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.

Recibí el amplificador en menos de una semana, teniendo en consideración que requería de importación creo que es muy buen tiempo, el paquete sin ningún daño muy bien protegido. Al principio cuando saque el amplificador se me hizo muy pequeño y ligero, ya sabia que era chico pero no esperaba fuera tan pequeño y ligero, se ve de buena calidad en sus materiales. Incluía cables para la bocina y para el footswitch. Este amplificador lo compre pensando en poderlo mover de un lado a otro sin tener que cargar cabezales muy pesados no esperaba mucho del tono solo esperaba que sonara decente. El sonido es muy similar a un MesaBoogie rectifier pensé en un inicio que no seria justo compararlo contra un MesaBoogie pero créanme que puede engañarlos. Es de 20W igual pensé que iba a dar un rendimiento un poco bajo pero estaba dispuesto a probarlo como quiera, lo conecte a un 4X12 MesaBoogie y me dio la sorpresa de que lo levanta sin problemas a un volumen perfecto para ensayar con una banda, no pierde calidad al subirle al volumen al menos al 50-60% que es como lo probe yo, pero no requieres de subirle mas es bastante potente. Lo califico con 5 estrellas porque es mucho mas de lo que esperaba de un amplificador de estas características y precio, claro que no puedes compararlo con un MesaBoogie o cualquier otro amplificador de marcas reconocidas porque no tiene las opciones de estos, me refiero a ecualizadores de 5 bandas o ecualizador por canal, solo tiene TONE que hace su función pero es limitado, y lo otro es que debes estar muy seguro que te gusta el sonido del Rectifier ya que es el único sonido que le vas a poder sacar a parte del Clean, el canal de distorsión desde su mas mínimo GAIN ya suena completamente rectificado, eso funciona para mi pero tal vez para otros gustos sea muy poco versátil.
