Insane Amp!
Style: British,Heavy Metal,High Gain Color: Brown
These Bantamps are way better than the Orange Crush. Pretty loud, ask my wife. Very portable with enough connections for 4CM. Main use will be in Home Studio but will take it out to jam with friends.

Great Orange simulator

Amp sounds great but the speaker cable didn't work and there was no way to get it replaced without sending back the amp and everything else. 😕

AMAZON LIES
Style: British,Heavy Metal,High Gain Color: Brown
I bought this amp shipped and sold by AMAZON.COM AMAZON listed it as GREAT Condition. I received the amp and it turned on but made no sound. It was returned for not working and Amazon repackaged it and listed it as working great. I called customer service and the guy hung up on me. The return has been going on for a week. I still don't have my money back. I gave my money to Amazon. Wasted my time and effort bringing the item to the mail and still waiting for my money. What a waste of everything. This isn't acceptable. Worst customer service ever. JOYO is a cheap company with poor quality control. Amazon is too big and the quality control is the worst. ... show more

Nice Little Practice Amp Head
Style: British,Heavy Metal,High Gain Color: Brown
The JOYO Meteor II is a cute little amp. I took a picture of it next to some eyeglasses to demonstrate how little it is. Notice that it is about the length of the glasses. The amp comes with extra guitar/speaker cords and a power cord. It is ready to go - there is no set-up. Twenty watts is enough to drive my 12" Celestion in a small room. The clean sound reasonably mimics a classic 12AX7 tube, the same one found in many early Fender and Marshall amplifiers. Gain adds some distortion. It is a step beyond solid-state amps, rounding out and adding body to the sound. The overdrive channel, to my ear, gets harsh too quickly. Adjusting the sound to add a bit of distortion for blues is difficult. However, if it is deep grunge power chords you're after, this amp delivers. I miss having a built-in reverb channel. There is a handy fx send and receive that works well. It also works well with headphones. ... show more

WONDERFUL mini AMP
Style: British,Heavy Metal,High Gain Color: Brown
This was better than I anticipated. It has a small footprint, saving you space wherever you place it. It is something you will want to play around with, if you play the electric guitar. It takes some getting used to if you are a beginner like myself but, it’s a great tool to have. I was able to learn more about it and how to use it within a short period of time. It has a solid build with extra settings to fool around with. It’s great quality for the asking price and definitely a lot of fun. I RECOMMEND. ... show more

Fun affordable amp
Style: British,Heavy Metal,High Gain Color: Brown
Bottom line: This is a really fun amp that sounds good. It's affordable, and while it's generally solidly made, don't expect it to last forever without some maintenance and maybe repairs over time. Some background on the series: Joyo Bantamps are cheap "lunchbox" size amps that sound like famous, big, expensive ones whose identities are hidden in the names. MeteOR sounds like an Orange, while JaCkMan sounds like a Marshall JCM800, etc etc. They have a single tube in the preamp section, so they're not fully "tube amps" and you should calibrate expectations accordingly. I also have a Jackman and a Zombie and like them quite a bit. I will say, however, that over time you'll need to replace the preamp tube, and you might encounter other issues as well that you might need to fix. They're fairly solidly built for being so cheap, but stuff does give out. Note that this is just the amplifier head, not the speaker cab. You'll need a speaker cab with a minimum resistance of 8 ohms, which you can find in all sorts of configurations, from small single speakers to multi-speaker cabs. This thing will get LOUD if you crank it into a big cab, probably enough for a small gig though I'm a bedroom player. Anyway, on to my review of this specific amp: In the years since I got my Jackman and Zombie, I realized that my favorite sounds actually come from Orange amps like the Thunderverb and Rockerverb. They have a mid boost that's kind of like a Marshall, but the built-in distortion gives a much "juicier" saturation to my ear. They allow you to cut through without sounding exactly like everyone else. I was stoked to give the Meteor a shot, and it did not disappoint. An amp like this will never sound "exactly like the real thing," but it definitely gives you that awesome Orange character. Even the clean channel has some attitude to it, and the gain channel goes from classic rock to juiced-up high-gain as you crank it up. The gain channel doesn't pair with overdrive pedals quite as easily as my Jackman does, but if you experiment you can definitely find combinations that work. This is the "II" version of the Meteor, so you can control the tone separately for each channel and switch them by foot. It also has an effects loop -- put an EQ pedal in there to give yourself a lot more tone-shaping options -- as well as Bluetooth connectivity so you can play along with recordings on your phone. In general, this was what I expected from my previous experience with the Bantamp series. It's tons of fun at a low price, but with some risks you always get with cheaper products. ... show more
