I purchased a Joyo Meteor some time ago, and have been very impressed with it. So much so that I bought the Zombie, as well. All the BantAmp series amplifiers have essentially the same feature set, with a tube plus op-amp front end and a class D power stage. This, in itself, doesn't really tell the story, though. Some very intelligent engineering has been done with these amps. Instead of adding every bell and whistle, they've provided a good feature set of all useful and easy to understand functions. Inexpensive amps can often err on the side of trying to give you everything, and doing nothing particularly well. Joyo does not suffer from this problem, in my experience. The controls are simple, with clean/overdrive channels, volume, gain, and tone. Just the stuff you need. There's an effects loop and the bluetooth connection, which is maybe the only superfluous feature. The Meteor, for instance, has a surprisingly good clean tone, and a vintage, raspy overdrive tone that becomes a sharp and cutting lead tone when hit with a Tube Screamer-style pedal. The Zombie, while seeming to be a similar design with the same basic parts, is a different beast, sonically. I don't think the clean is as good as the Meteor. Some of the inherent EQ they had to bake in made it sound a little flat. But you're not getting this amp for its clean (serviceable, sure, but that's not the point). This thing, you get for the tooth-rattling, scare the cat out of the room distortion. The Zombie has tons of gain, more than most people will need. Even wheezy single coil pickups should be able to get all the overdrive they would ever need. I haven't ever owned a Mesa Dual Rectifier, but if you want that full-tilt metal sound, where palm-muted chugs punch you in the gut and pinch harmonics are rendered twice as easy, the Zombie does that. You can back off and get a less "metal in all your face holes" sound, sure. But do you want to? Depending on your rig and tuning, you might need some kind of bass cut/mid push pedal to tighten things up, but with medium output humbuckers and standard tuning, things are pretty tidy and defined with no assistance. This is a brutish, bloody knuckles little amp. And worth every penny. Nice job, Joyo. ... show more

  • Blown away
I’ll start by saying that my expectations for this amp were measured. I figured for the price I could probably get a tone out of it (a tone. As in 1 passable sounding tone at a modest volume). I’m pleasantly surprised by this little amp. For reference, I’m running this into a Celestion Greenback loaded Victory 2x12 cab. For one, it comes in a box smaller than your average shoe box and the amp itself is crazy small for a tube amp. It’s not Blackstar Fly small but it’s in that realm. Think Katana mini. While you won’t be able to “dial” this amp in as much as anyone would like, the tone knob does make a reasonable difference sort of like The contour knob on an Orange amp but with less variation. The clean channel is really, really good. It’s not sparkly clean like a Fender but it has that slightly dark, mid-present clean that’s very easy to work with. Swap to the OD channel and it’s almost an entirely different amp. Maybe it’s the cab I’m running it through but the lows are pretty good, all things considered, the highs aren’t “searing” but they’re definitely there. It’s sounds great for the price. I can’t emphasize that enough. There are overdrive and distortion pedals that cost more and sound worse. Funny enough, the amp isn’t much bigger or heavier than them either. Is it a Mesa? No. Does it sound like a Mesa? No. Is it worth it? Definitely. Perfect for home practice or studio where you want that heavy gain saturated tone without all the volume that comes with it. I probably wouldn’t gig with it but it’s easily the best sub-$200 amp I’ve ever owned. ... show more

  • It has a great tone and through the 4x12 it has decent volume
Received this 5 days ago, tried it out the other night at band practice. I am running this through a Marshall 4x12 @ 16 ohms. My band mates were laughing there heads off when i plugged this little wonder in! They stopped laughing when they heard it! It has a great tone and through the 4x12 it has decent volume. Not loud enough to get over the rest of the band without micing the cab, but I did anticipate this would be the case. I think the best use of this amp is as a home practice amp, good tone, decent volume. I like the effects loop and for the price it is a worthy practice amp. For my situation, I will use this as a gigging backup amp. There is nothing worse than getting to a gig only to discover your amp has failed. This is a small, light little screamer that could get you through the gig if you mic the cabinet ... show more

  • Could’ve saved myself some serious coin
I want to write this review to hopefully give assistance to anyone looking to buy this Zombie head. I’ve been playing guitar for 17 years and have used/bought many different pieces of gear over that time period. I like to play Rock, Blues and sometimes want to shred some Metal riffs. I’m gonna try not to make this too long but I recently just spent about $1,000 on amp gear to try to get a rig that sounds good in my room. I first bought a used Fender Super Champ XD combo used off Craigslist and swapped out the tubes and ditched the 10” Fender stock speaker and ordered a handmade custom blue Weber 10” speaker which sounds killer and that little amp gives me beautiful Fender cleans and classic Rock crunch. Then I bought a new Fender Super Champ X2 head and the matching Fender closed back 12” Cab and replaced the stock Chinese Celestion with a brand new Eminence Legend 12” speaker hoping both of these would allow me to get everything from Fender cleans to Heavy Metal riffage but the Metal tones from the digital presets still weren’t quite as “legit” is the best way id describe it. So I already spent all this money and figured I was gonna have to make do. Then I remembered seeing these Joyo amp heads on Amazon a while back and decided to check out the Zombie which is supposed to be a Mesa Boogie clone and for basically the price of a pedal I figured what the hell, all I need is a Metal tone so if it does that hooked up to the new Fender 12” cab with the nice new Eminence speaker then I’ll be happy, money well spent. Let me tell you, this far exceeded my expectations. I’m not associated with any companies and have no incentive to heap praise on anyone or anything. This thing gives me all I wanted to begin with and if I’d started here I could’ve saved myself a lot of coin. Not only does it nail the Mesa Boogie thick Metal Crunch that I love (even better with my Maxon OD9 pedal in front of it just for a little more tightness) but the clean channel actually sounds really good too. I was definitely surprised. No it’s not the classic chimey Fender clean but there’s tons of different types of clean sounds (or distorted sounds) so Fender tone dosent mean “best” tone. I mean Marshall has a unique clean tone way different than Fender clean but many people prefer that so who’s to say which is “best.” All I can say is through my 1x12 cab and this Joyo Zombie I get a great clean tone either with my Strat single coils or my Charvel humbuckers they all sound great and when I want to hammer out some “legit” sounding Metal riffs well I can do that now too. So anyone who wants a cheap quick rig that can cover everything from pedal platform cleans to monster heavy riffs I would highly suggest buying one of these and just get a minimum 8ohm speaker cab with at least a 12” speaker and there you go, your off to the races enjoying creating guitar noises. ... show more

  • ALMOST loud enough for my band
I play in a punk hardcore band and we love playing loud, unfortunately also loud during practice. I just barely kept up with other guitarist at full crank so I bought an EQ (Boss GE-7) which gave it a bit more volume. Even then the bassist complained he couldn't hear me but the second guitarist said all he hears is my guitar and I use earplugs because I value my ears so hard to know. Anyway, on its own going through a Laney 4x12 (only 8 ohm cab we have in studio) it sounds pretty vicious. Tried through a 16ohm Marshall but volume took a hit bigtime. Its almost silly looking at this amp while playing and knowing it is creating this sound. I normally play an EVH 5150 iii 50w and this sounds a bit tighter...obviously not as loud. Maybe through some more efficient speakers or playing with a guitarist that plays at normal practice levels it would shine. Good enough for gigging if you're being mic'd or aren't in a band looking to tear the roof off of the club. seems pretty durable with its metal case too. If you are bedroom player and wanna bust some windows here and there, this is AMAZING and well worth the money. Sounds good at any volume. Not to crazy about using headphones but that's also there. Oh and Bluetooth feature is great for me to figure out lead stuff at home with recordings we made. ... show more

  • received a faulty amp.
I must start this review by saying that i do not live in the USA. I went there on march 2019 and bought it through amazon. When i finally got back to my country, Argentina, i tried it and it sounded nothing like the reviews i saw on youtube or the reviews i read. On my unit when using the clean channel sounds good for about 30 seconds or so and then starts distorting. On the OD channel it is similar, once it is turned on it is very high gain and sounds great, for about 30 seconds, then it loses gain and becomes fuzzy and without any definition. I could not returned it since I was I was not in the USA. A real shame on Joyo and bad quality control. I wrote to joyo and started troubleshooting and even did a video for them with a demonstration. The lame answer i got was: "can you try with another guitar?". So there you go with Joyo support. I really hope they can reach out to me with a real solution. ... show more

  • Sounds great. Costs little. But.
Torn between three and four stars here; This little amp really surprised me as far as how good it sounds; Considering the price point, it sounds awesome. Not great mind you, but definitely much better than anything I’ve gotten my hands on anywhere near this price point. As far as tone on the lead channel goes though, I have two thoughts; on one hand, it sounds pretty good; It’s got a relatively convincing high-gain mesa type sound. But on the other hand, from about 11:00 up, the gain changes very little, going from lots of gain to that sound you get when you have an overdrive with its volume and gain maxed out in front of an already distorted preamp. While you can get a good high-gain sound dialed in, I feel like it’s a bit of a one-trick-pony on the lead channel. Considering the price though, it’s hard to complain. On to where I am personally disappointed, but most people probably wouldn’t care: For me, one of the main attractions to this amp was the bluetooth; I had imagined this amp sitting on a coffee table with headphones always plugged in; While the lady of the house catches up on her shows, I could learn a song or two in relative silence, playing along with my iPhone. Just connect via Bluetooth, plug the guitar in, slap the headphones on, and jam. I’ve been looking for ages for a small setup that would do that for me while sounding decent enough for me to stay excited about practicing. The options are really limited, and it seems almost no-one wants to include a 3.5mm aux in as well as a headphone out. I’m starting to think no-one practices like I do, playing along with songs; After looking for ages, I’ve only found a few really cheap entry-level practice amps with aux-ins and headphone outs, and most of them don’t do cab modeling, let alone good cab modeling. After watching a few reviews of this amp, very little time if any touched on the Bluetooth functionality. Maybe I’m after a really niche use-case. Anyways, I have two complaints about the bluetooth: 1. It’s not really possible to get the Bluetooth signal loud enough to play along with AND have a decent guitar sound. If max out the bluetooth signal, you’ve got to drop the gain down to nothing to get the guitar quiet enough to be comfortable to practice along with. And 2. Even when you get the signals matching, the Bluetooth signal lacks clarity essential for me to figure out what notes I should be playing; I’ve got a pretty good ear and can usually pick out notes quickly, but I got frustrated with the lack of clarity, and it quickly outweighed the convenience of being able to just plug in and play. Just for troubleshooting’s sake, I connected this amp and my phone to a small 4-channel mixer, and set the levels appropriately. The clarity I was expecting came back, and I was able to learn a few songs by ear with no trouble. With this in mind, I might try out a pedal with amp/cab simulation built in, plugged into this same 4-channel mixer instead, and the Joyo might head back for a return. To sum up; if the bluetooth and silent practice are primary factors, maybe look elsewhere; But if you want to hook up to a cab and use for out-loud practice, this amp is hard to beat for the money. ... show more

  • Punches way above its size and price.
Great sound, both clean and overdrive. It's not super versatile, however it isn't meant to be. Each Joyo BantamP does its specific sound well, and if you want a different sound, get one of the other Joyo amps. It's a smart idea. Instead of having one versatile amp that costs a ton, you get a selection of different sounding amps that all sound good but with the benefit that they aren't expensive. That's basically the product model they're going with here: Pick what sound you want, and decide which amp fits best. You get a high quality sound but without spending hundreds or thousands on expensive tube amps. Just make sure you pick the right amp for the sound you're going for. This one is for high-gain hard rock/metal. My one recommendation for people considering buying this is that you get an EQ pedal or something like that, as the overdrive channel is very bass-heavy and there are no EQ controls on the amp. I have a Boss GE-7 in the effects loop (I wouldn't recommend putting one in the front end of the amp, as it loudens picking and scraping sounds and just doesn't sound right) so I can cut down on the low end and roll off the high end a little and get a nice, strong mid-range. Sounds amazing. ... show more
