Features 5

  • Channel Switching & Independent Control: The BanTamp XL series features a dedicated footswitch for channel switching and six knobs. This allows you to independently control both the CLEAN and DISTORTION channels, giving you precise command over each channel's Volume, Gain, and Tone for ultimate tonal flexibility.
  • Classic Mid-Gain Drive & Dynamic Response: The JACKMAN II expertly captures that iconic mid-gain drive sound, reacting beautifully to your playing dynamics and guitar's volume knob. Like its classic inspiration, its a perfect platform that responds exceptionally well to being pushed with your favorite overdrive pedals.
  • Versatile Clean Pedal Platform: The JACKMAN IIs pristine CLEAN channel is an excellent foundation for all your pedals, making this mini head a flexible and portable solution. Use a classic overdrive pedal to push it into singing high-gain territory, unlocking a wide range of tones for any situation where a full-sized rig isn't practical.
  • Hybrid Tube Design & Professional FX Loop: This hybrid amp head combines the rich harmonics of a genuine 12AX7 preamp tube with the reliability of a solid-state power section. The professional FX loop lets you place time-based and modulation effects (delays, reverbs, choruses, flangers, phasers) after the drive stage, ensuring your effects remain clear and articulate.

Mighty sound value, big amp features and preamp tube tone!
Style: Clean,Distortion,Metal,Rock Color: Red
This is very close to the real thing in a tiny package. No tubes in the power section or full EQ but everything else you would expect from a real amplifier. 2 foot switchable channels with independent gain and (very usable) tone knob in the preamp section and a volume knob for the power section. Effects loop too. Awesome. Perfect for the desktop practice rig (6" Eminence Patriot). Removed grill to show off the tube and added an Echoverb and an Azor EQ (as attenuator with a hair of bass and mid boost) into the FX loop. 20 watts is loud and recommend some type of attenuation for practice volumes or you're fiddling with a very low volume setting. A nice inspiring JCM (Marshally) tone that responds well to dynamic playing (HSS Strat). Gain at 11:00 is the tube tone sweet spot (IMHO). Clean channel is excellent as a pedal platform. They only offer the Jackman (JCM - classic distortion) and the Zombie (Boogie - modern distortion) with separate channel controls. This is a must if you want to be able to switch between channels without having to make adjustments (I'm taming a tone bite on lead channel but every rig is different). Even more adjustability with your favorite drive pedal in front (using a Tumnus for a total of 4 drive tones). Subtle style change in pic adding black electrical tape to cover pedal LEDs that was distracting from warm tube glow. Bet it would be killer with a 15" cab or 2x12 but there's the stage amp for that. Edit: Upgraded FX loop with an Artec Parametric EQ pedal (as attenuator with a high cut) and a Boss RV-6 reverb pedal. With the quality pedals, the sound is WAY better. The EQ pedal allowed me to customize and smooth out the tone even more retaining clarity. The RV-6 pedal allowed me to go stereo with my old desktop amp. Love it. Thanks for reading! ... show more

Great little practice amp. Thoroughly impressed
Style: Clean,Distortion,Metal,Rock Color: Red
Not many in depth reviews, so here we go. First impressions were good. Amp packaged really securely, everything wrapped in foam and plastic. Came with amp, booklet, power cable, foot switch and instrument cable. Clean channel: Sounds pretty flat. Great base for a pedal platform. Gain can be cranked for an ACDC tone. Dial the gain back and dime the volume and she cleans up nicely. Kind of dark and warm like a typical British amp. Lead channel: Sounds Marshally! Now it doesn't sound exactly like a JCM, but definitely has that characteristic. By itself it's pretty dark, but really comes to life with an OD in front. I love the tone on the lead channel with the gain at about 11 o clock boosted with an OD. Classic metal tones. Bluetooth: Worked flawlessly, easily connected. Volume is controlled by the audio device, and not by the amp. I really like this feature because you can choose how loud you want everything. Amp also has an effects loop. Not much to report on there as it works as it should. Super convenient to have a little amp with a loop. Amp also has a headphone output for silent practice. You don't need a load on the amp to use the headphones either. My impression: I really dig it. It feels better quality than it's Orange MT counterparts. Amp feels solid and we'll made. All the controll knobs feel buffered. Although it doesn't sound EXACTLY like a JCM, it still has that Marshall crunch. I really like it, and at that price point, I plan on buying a few more. Thanks Joyo, keep the cool stuff coming! ... show more

Buy one. You’ll love it!
Style: Clean,Distortion,Metal,Rock Color: Red
I bought this thinking that it’s going to sound like crap and I’ll just return it. Well, it isn’t going anywhere. This is a fantastic little Amp for the money. I like both channels they both sound great. The effects loop works exactly as it supposed to. It takes petals in the front very well. The only con I can think of is that it doesn’t have reverb but hey, you have an effect loop put a reverb pedal in there. I’m going to buy some of the come on flavors of this amp and see how they sound. Buy one. You won’t be disappointed. (In the picture you’ll see the amp on top of my Marshall DSL combo. I just used the speaker in the cabinet. Sounds great! PS: the Bluetooth to pipe in music to play along with isn’t great, it’s a little distorted, but who cares, that’s not a feature I care about anyway. ... show more

SOUND GOOD NOT SUPER LOUD
Style: Clean,Distortion,Metal,Rock Color: Red
SO, i bought the marshall/boogie combo, i tried this thru the 2 12 below set at 16 ohms and my 4 12 marshall cab 16 ohms. then i turned on the 50 no comparison in volume. My idea was to get these as a backup in case i was live and my amp blew up. I play 80s Metal and hard rock stuff and i can tell you the full size amps are way louder. "no surprise". Now can you play a gig in a pinch if your amp blows? if the soundman mikes you i guess. Not sure i could do a practice with a big drum kit. When i used the 4/12, they got way louder. The boogie is dirtier, the marshall sounds like an old marshall sure. For a practice amp., sure, depends on your use. I would be surprised if i could do a band rehearsal with one of these tho... nice backup amps i guess. 2 for 300$ not bad. If you want it loud, you better get a 50 watt something minimum. I like it lound tho' haha. ... show more

!!!!! Buy The Jackman !!!!!
Style: Clean,Distortion,Metal,Rock Color: Red
I have owned the zombie 2, meteor 2, and the Jackman. I ran them all through a 1x12 celestion vintage 30. It's not even close, by far the best sounding with both the clean channel and the distortion channel is the jackman. It gives you that classic rock clean as well as distortion It is not super high gain so if you need it to play the heavier stuff simply throw a tube screamer on your pedal board. The high gain versions mentioned zombie and meteor sound awesome as well and they are definitely high gain but they are not amps you can play and listen to all day without your ears bleeding. The Jackman you can play all day and you won't get tired of it on either channel It also doesn't matter whether you're playing a Les Paul or strat both are going to sound great. (Zombie isn't single coil strat friendly) You will have to crank the gain on the Jackman to get good distortion out of it but again just run a tube screamer and you have a classic Marshall style setup. Joyo has killed it with the jackman !! Not to mention having an effects loop is the cherry on top. It is also plenty loud to play with a band ... show more

Could Have Been Great
Style: Clean,Distortion,Metal,Rock Color: Red
I really looked forward to getting this product. It was well constructed and easy to use. It came with all the needed power and cables and a brief product manual. Turned the amp on and struck a chord on my Les Paul. Out of my homemade 1x12 (Eminence Texas Heat) came a loud, beautiful, full, phat clean sound. I instantly loved it. I played a couple songs then switch to the Strat. Again, beautiful. I switched to the dirt channel. Sadly, even with the gain all the way up, no dirt, just very loud sounds. I switched to my Carvin 1x12 with the same results. I ran my pedalboard through the amp. I have 4 dirt pedals. Only the Muff (ram’s head) produced an acceptable OD sound. But in order to achieve this, I had to turn the Muff full throttle. Without a responsive dirt channel, I had no use for this otherwise fine little amp and so returned it immediately. Perhaps with a different speaker it would have done better. Maybe I got a lemon. Can’t say. But I was disappointed. ... show more

Sounds good
Style: Clean,Distortion,Metal,Rock Color: Red
I have owned the amp it emulates,,it was extremely heavy,,but sounded good with way more output power then the joyo, but this little amp gets so close sounding, I'm using ceramic crunchy high output humbuckers,,and it has a boost channel, it's light and makes little or no hiss in my setup of it with a speaker cabinet I re purposed adding a 8 inch 8 ohm guitar speaker bought on the Zon for a mere $15 , that I find is a great deal on a guitar speaker that's just rite for this amp,,, and sounds great with this amp,, it's plenty loud yet not by any means as loud as it's big heavy noisy static latent all tube donor, but on a live stage you mic the amplifier on lower settings anyway ,,been there done that,, over all after playing this amp for a week or 2 now I am quite pleased with its value,,it has a bit of a limited volume and gain output sweep, dosen't do feedback easily and isn't exactly the same grits as the heavyweight it emulates, but so close and so light I am just super glad that they decided to make their tube pre amp Joyo series guitar amps, the features like effects loop and 2 channel with pedal are extra bonuses as well ... show more

I love this amp!
Style: Clean,Distortion,Metal,Rock Color: Red
This is an almost unbelievable value. I'm not trying to write an ad for Joyo but it's going to sound that way. 2 channel, foot switchable, separate controls, effects loop. I mean, why isn't everyone making one of these? I have a 5w ultra boutique, hand-wired head based on a JCM circuit and this thing is more usable. The clean is completely usable with good overhead and a warm, sweet tone. To me that's even more impressive that the overdrive channel. The overdrive channel is very good too, made even better with a Screamer in front of it. It has a VERY accurate Marshall voice with all the good mid honk and really shocking articulation. Played through a 2x12 I can easily play with a drummer and bass. Blah blah blah just buy it. Stop thinking about it. It's $180. Find any opinion on YouTube saying something negative about these things. Good luck. It's the funnest piece of gear I've bought in 10 years. ... show more
