Joyo Jackman 4-stars Reviews

Don't hesitate

This is a great little tool that does what is says on the tin. It is a perfect home practice head and I am going to test it with the band too. Can they tell the difference? One of the main advantages for this amp is that (I presume) due to the solid state power amp, the volume control is linear. And so you can use it in a quiet setting.

I have two additional points:

1) If you're thinking of using this live and need a volume boost, spend the extra for the Jackman II. Just like a JCM, a boost in front of the amp will only produce more drive. (Unless of course you are running the drive low, but then you have bought the wrong amp!)

2) There is a bottom end thump that isn't affected by the tone control. This seems to be eq'd into the amp, I guess to give you the impression of a 4x12 when you use it. This may or not work for you depending on your guitar and chosen cab/speaker.

Great little amp, totally worth it for the price

I think I got this on discount and it was about 70 Euro, I mean, even if you already have a couple of amps and definitely don't need another one this thing is totally worth it, which was my case.

I didn't have an exact use case and need for this amp, so I have it as decoration atm, but sometimes when I go to friend's houses to play guitar I take this with me, fits in my backpack and there is no issue.

I also have a cab in my office and sometimes I take this amp with me to the office to play after work.

Idk, it's just convenient to take with you when you're on the move and it's nice decoration as well.

Even if you don't need it, it's a nice thing to have.

Exceeded expectations.

At first I thought that the amp would not be loud enough or that I would be disappointed with the sound profile. That was not the case.

The amp (while limited in tonality due to the basic controls) has amazing potential, is an amazing pedal platform and its built in overdrive is one of the best I have ever heard. If you are looking to deep your toes into tube amps just to see what all the fuzz (pun intended) is about. This is the perfect place to start.

What a great bit of gear!

I've had this amp for about three weeks now and for the price it is fantastic.

The clean channel itself has some very usable tones but can be a bit dry sounding on its own. Luckily this awesome amp has an effects loop so a bit of delay in there does the trick for me. The clean channel is also a great pedal platform taking OD pedals really well. This makes it really versatile.

The OD channel is great. Awesome tones from low gain all the way up to hard rock territory. It's not a modern high gain amp by any means - this thing suits classic rock and blues really well.

It is also really loud - the overdrive channel is louder than the clean channel making it a bit annoying switching between the two channels and having to readjust, but that's really a minor thing.

I gave the sound 4 starts and not 5 because the clean channel is a bit dry and good, but not great. The overdrive channel is quite bright, but I like a brighter sound!
