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

I wanted a 'Fuzz-Box" When i was young I bought a Univox "Super Fuzz" not knowing it was the preferred EFX pedal to most major Rock guitarists. I've watch videos of The Who on stage and I can see Townshend has the pedal no ton the floor,but up high and easy to adjust. I bought it because I could get the sounds of Black Sabbath with it and it worked great on my Bass. It could growl or it could buzz and do anything inbetween. I sold my pedal two years ago and got $550.00 for it. I think I paid $45 back in 1976 So there I was regretting not having that pedal and finding out that nothing else sounded like it no matter how much the listing said it did. I bought an expensive unit to a friend as a gift and it claimed to be identical to the Super Fuzz and to even have more tonel adjustments. It didn't sound anything like the Univox. Now keep in mind I am talking about a "Fuzz" and not distortion or overdrive. Those EFX sound different than a Fuzz Box. Two weeks ago I cam across this on Amazon and after thinking about it bought something else that was actually a little bit more money. I never buy the cheapest product even when broke. Somehow it never arrived and Amazon sent me a refund very promptly. Then I went back to this one. I switched over to "Dogpile" my search engine and read about the pedal and listened to several videos of people demonstrating it. So I went back to Amazon and bought it for a very low price. - Thank you Amazon. It arrived the next day - thank you Amazon Prime - and after popping in a battery I tried it out. I have a new Les Paul copy I am about to upgrade so I plugged it in and played. I messed with the settings a lot and it sounded like crap. Then I turned the last knob almost all the way to the left and it sounded great! From there I tuned the over knobs to get a sound I loved. I ran it through a compressor and delay and this thing blew my freakin' mind. It was every adjective I can think of in a superlative vein. It was fantastic, magnificent, awesome, incredible and on and on. I couldn't put the guitar down. I was amazed to know that what I was hearing from my amp/cabinet was me. I sounded as if I could play. I was playing runs from Deep Purple and I sounded like the records. I was playing Who and Zeppelin, I suck at Page so i went back to Deep Purple and even played some Humble Pie. The sounds were all there! All of my favorite British guitarists were inside my amplifier. Then I began to play "Good bye to Jane" and discovered how much fun it is to blaze through my favorite Slade songs. I can't remember having so much fun. It sounds sweet when playing light solos or leads without changing settings, I simply changed how i played the notes and the box did the rest. Some boxes have one sound and you get it louder or softer but you still get the same sound. Not with this little purple wonder. The variations in tone are never ending between changing the pedal settings and changing the pick up positions and tone knobs on the guitar. In fact I think they ought to sell this pedal with every LP copy and they'd never have a complaint. It is nice that this pedal is so inexpensive. It appears to me made well. The off gives a completely quiet pedal by-pass. I believe it could take some rough handling at practice or packing up after a gig. The tag on it says "British" and it certainly earns the right to than name. It enabled me to sound just like all my favorite 60-s to 70's British rock guitarists. I can't recommend this pedal enough if that is the sound you want. maybe in 40 years people will be paying absurd amounts to buy one of these original pedals. You never can tell.

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.

Very good for the money. Knobs are very stiff, but that is a good thing. This is well built, and feels like it can take some abuse. It has its a unique character compared to a Boss flanger, and I really like it. You have a ton of control, and it has quickly become a go-to pedal for clean tones. It also works well with OverDrive. 5 stars for the price, 4 stars when compared to more expensive flanger pedals.

What a Great Pedal at a Great Price. Fellow guitar players, I use this pedal to simulate an electric guitar amp by running it into my Fishman Loudbox Micro acoustic amp. It’s a practice amp that I use at home with my acoustic guitars with pickups. But the thing sounds flat and boring with my electrics ( just could not come up with an EQ setting that worked on the Fishman so thought I’d give this pedal a try).. I’m delighted with the tone I’ve achieved thru the Fishman amp with this pedal. It sounds like an electric guitar. I play clean so have not tried to drive it to breakup. JOYO really does build quality stuff that sounds good. I’m happy that this pedal solved my problem.

defective out of the box, plugged it in and the tuners didnt do anything and no LEDs lit up, all it did was add background clicking noise every second, couldnt even return it because amazon said i have to return it that very same day despite it being 8pm and every local post office is closed

Das ist mein 3. Joyo günstig Pedal und bin begeistert. Hat alles was ein Delay braucht. An die Farben der Pedale mußte ich mich erst gewöhnen.

Excellent et versatile Une bonne émulation Marshall Solide C’est ma deuxième

Suona benissimo anche come preamplificatore

Pedale ottimo per un fuzz di ottima qualità per il prezzo di vendita
