Joyo AC Tone with a bass

[bassbiscuits]

Blimey - I’ve just borrowed a mate’s Joyo AC Tone guitar effects pedal and put my bass thru it. It sounds absolutely lovely. Obvs nothing like an AC30 but a vibrant vintage overdrive which works well on bass and doesn’t snaffle all my low end either. 
 

And a quick Google reveals they are only £35 new. Jeez. That’s that sorted then. 
 

Anyone else tried one?

Sorry, not tried that one, but I do have a (slightly customised!) Joyo British Sound on my slowly growing pedal board. I run it off a line selector to get a clean mix and use it to mix in some Marshall-like mid boosted grit, however the eq is great and it can easily be used as a standalone bass overdrive. Great tones for little outlay. 😎

No, but I do own the California (Mesa Boogie), American (Fender) and Oxford (Orange), in the same series of pedals.

 

And I kind of plan on getting the British (Marshall) at some point too.

 

Must admit I don't like the California, too dark for my taste, sounds muffled to me, but you can get some serious monstrously ballsy heavy distortion out of it with the Drive knob cranked.

 

I like the American, but mostly for guitar, though it has received quite a lot of praise both used for guitar and bass, and even used as stand alone bass preamp. 

 

I love the Oxford, you can get some really amazing snappy grindy and grunty drive tones out of it, but sounds great as a low gain overdrive as well.

Are you folks using it in the signal chain as a straight overdrive, or in the amp’s effect loop, or just into a desk with some other set up?

My Joyo British...

I also fancy a Joyo Ironman Golden Face to go with the Orange Juice...

For £27 including delivery on Amazon prime I thought it rude not to snap one up. If only it was a long Bank Holiday weekend to noodle at home eh.
