bassbiscuits Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleat Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 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. 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloney Balderdash Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) 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.

bassbiscuits Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 My Joyo British... I also fancy a Joyo Ironman Golden Face to go with the Orange Juice... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
