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.
  • Versatile High-Gain Platform & Clean Pedal Foundation: The ZOMBIE-II excels at lower gain settings and responds brilliantly to your favorite overdrive pedals, letting you push into higher gain with their unique character. Its high-gain structure pairs perfectly with a noise gate for tight, articulate heavy chords. Its pristine CLEAN channel is also an exceptional pedal platform, making it a flexible and portable companion for any situation.
  • Big Amp Feel in a Mini Head: Don't let its size fool you. Once you start playing, the ZOMBIE-II delivers a rich, responsive tone that feels like a much larger amplifier. Its impressive 20W output is remarkably loud and dynamic, perfect for practice, recording, or small gigs.
  • Hybrid Design & Studio-Grade Features: This hybrid amp head combines a genuine 12AX7 tube in the preamp with a solid-state power section for rich harmonics and reliable performance. The studio-grade FX loop lets you place time-based and modulation effects (delays, reverbs, choruses, flangers, phasers) after the drive stage, keeping your effects clean and defined.

Amazing little amp!
Color: Grey Set name: American,High Gain,Distortion
I've been looking at these amps for a while now. I decided to pull the trigger, and get the Zombie II. I received it today and hooked it up to a 1x12 cab with a vintage 30 speaker. This little guy is insanely loud. It's a little chuging machine, I still can't believe what's coming out of it. If you're into high gain metal tone this can't be beat at this price. I doubt at 20 watts this would hold up against a powerful drummer, but with a PA and a good mic, it most likely would. I was also impressed with the clean channel, it's not colored in any way by the gain. If you turn up the gain on the clean channel it beefs up your tone instead of having a traditional overdrive sound clip the tone, it's perfect for running pedals. There is quite a bit of beefy low end to this amp, something I personally like. I would suggest adding a pedal EQ to shape it to your liking. I'm really blown away by this little lunch box, I wouldn't hesitate in buying another. Edit 3/14/2025 This is not a head phone amp. I blew one of my drivers on a set of Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones. Not sure if this an impedance issue or overpowering on the headphone out. If you need a quiet headphone practice amp this ain't it. This was made for speaker cabs. ... show more

Works Perfectly for Home Recording
Color: Grey Set name: American,High Gain,Distortion
I ordered this amp to downsize from a 100 watt head to something more appropriate for my home. The reviews and videos I watched about this amp were spot-on and I couldn't be happier with how it performs. The main feature I needed was an effects loop so that I could plug other modellers into the effects return and send the audio out through my 1x12 cabinet. I've reached the point where I am stale on emulated guitar speakers and I want an actual speaker with a microphone in my signal chain. Since this amp handles 8 ohm and 16 ohm speakers, I was covered and many others should be as well. You can also use the headphones as a line out since it has an emulated cabinet in that signal, but I don't think it sounds the greatest, and I wouldn't use it in a mix. I was expecting to be disappointed with the lack of traditional tone stack controls, but what's cool is you can come up with some really decent high-gain tones with different combinations of the gain, tone and volume controls. I have found some really nice settings fairly quickly just trying out different knob positions. I've used it with a guitar directly plugged in, and I also have re-amped several sources through it to take advantage of this amp's great tones. I think using it to re-amp has been more fun since I can set up loop points in my mixes, then adjust the 3 knobs until the guitar tone sits nicely within the mix. Don't be fooled by the 20 watt power size....this little lunch box gets LOUD. I have mine running through my speaker at full volume in my isolation box and it does its job well. I don't play out or in a band, so I don't know how it would function in that area, but for home use it is more than ample. In case you're wondering, since it has a solid state power amp, you do not need to have it connected to a speaker at all times. You are free to use just headphones with it if you prefer. I haven't tried the bluetooth line in stuff yet as I have never done that with any amp, but I assume it would work just fine. It also comes with a foot switch to change amp channels if you want to do that. After working with this amp for a few days and enjoying how it sounds, I want to also get the Jackman (JCM 800) version as well to have most heavy sounds covered between this and the Jackman. For the price point, I am not certain you'll find a better deal that has so much to offer. I sweated this purchase for far too long and I'm glad I took advantage of an Amazon sale to get it for around $150 USD. ... show more

Awesome little Vox wannabe.
Color: Green Set name: British,Clean,Rock
This is actually the 2nd Joyo AtomiC Bantamp I have purchased on Amazon. I sold the first one and regretted it as soon as I dropped it off at the post office. These are awesome little amps for the money. I bought the original version, not the XL. I don't use a clean channel. If I need a cleaner tone, I just roll back the volume on my guitar. Now, I play a custom strat with a humbucker in the bridge and two singles. Basswood body with a maple neck/fretboard. I listen to all genres of music from polka to black metal. As for my playing, I love me some Hendrix/Band Of Gypsys and SRV. I also love Neurosis and U.S. Christmas. I also love me some Pantera and some Eric Johnson. Needless to say, I am extremely conflicted. My playing style is basically heavy southern sludgy metal with melodic bluesy leads. Vox amps were NEVER on my radar. I have been playing since I was 15. I just turned 48. I ran across these Joyo amps back in 2020, the good old days. I watched every video I could find for every model Bantamp they offer and I kept coming back to this one and the 5150 wannabe. Now, I use a fair amount of pedals so I figured I could easily make the AtomiC heavier sounding, but I wouldn't be able to make the 5150 bluesy enough and boy was I right. When I want to go full metal, I just kick on the Big Muff and let it rip. When I want some Hendrix/Trower tone, I kick on the fuzz, Green Ringer, and vibe. When I want some good old dirty Mississippi stank, I just use the amps natural gain with a little reverb and slap back through the effects loop. Don't let the size fool you, this thing is tiny, but the twenty watts is plenty loud enough for any band situation I've been in. I run it through a custom single 12" cabinet. If I need more volume, I just mic it through the PA. I wish these existed back when I was 15 and lugging Marshall stacks to gigs. I could care less about the Bluetooth. I don't use it, but it does work well. My absolute only complaint is, I can't stand the color. Green is not my color. That's nothing a little spray paint won't fix. I'll probably end up buying the 5150 wannabe and using an ABY to switch between them or run them in tandem. Who knows? The world is my oyster and this amp is the pearl. ... show more

The best mini head for metal music at the best price.
Color: Grey Set name: American,High Gain,Distortion
Pro, 1. It's small, sturdy build and easy to put on a pedal board. 2. It has Bluetooth, an effects loop, a headphone out and foot switch for changing channels. 3. Has two independent channels for clean and distortion. 4. The clean channel is super clean and the distortion channel has a ton of gain on tap. 5. It takes pedals extremely well. 6. Has a very tight distorted sound. 7. For a hybrid amp it didn't cost a lot. 8. Loud enough to keep up with a drummer. Cons, 1. It only has a tone shift know, not a treble, mid or bass unfortunately. I'd use an EQ in the effects loop if you want better control of your tone. 2. This is a hybrid amp head, not a full tube head so don't expect it to sound like a real tube amps. 3. I'd modeled after a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, but it doesn't quite sound like one. I'll admit it sounds great, but it's too tight to sound like a real Dual Rectifier IMO. Even with it's short comings it's an extremely worthwhile amp head that can easily keep up with a drummer, practice and do small gigs with. I don't feel the short comings are really short comings for me personally. ... show more

NO, IT DOES NOT PRODUCE SOUND! (But is probably great at what it does)
Color: Dark Green Set name: Bass,Compressor,EQ
Being new to gear like this, I thought I was getting a little practice amp. Why? Because I typed in "practice amp" and this came up. 50w seemed crazy for something so portable, so I asked AI chat assist if I could use it as a practice amp, it said "Absolutely!" and went on to sing its praises. I even watched a few glowing video reviews about it which never showed or mentioned it was an amp-head, a kind of PRE-amp, not a practice amp. D'OH! After purchasing it I suspected I made a mistake, so I asked AI if it could be used as "a stand-alone practice amp." The answer was then, "No!" followed by an explanation that this requires an amp to use. D'OH! I tried to cancel the purchase but it was en route. When it arrived I was seriously tempted to open it, play with it (using my amp!) but I knew I'd probably want to keep it because of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). Judging by the box alone, the thing must be tiny but mighty because it has real weight to it. That's a good sign when it comes to things that amplify things. Quite substantial for a pre-amp gizmo. But this isn't a review of the product! I wrote this intending to alert those, like me, who are noobs to the bass and typed in "practice amp" and this was the first thing to come up to consider. [btw: I then bought the Joyo DC-15B and it was exactly what I was hoping this was. I submitted a good review of it if you wanna look for it.] ... show more

WORTH MUCH MORE THAN THE PRICE
Color: Grey Set name: American,High Gain,Distortion
This tiny little amplifier could not be more amazing. Forget the fact that is is under $200. I plugged this into my 4X12 Marshall cabinet and it was loud, crisp, punchy and had that beautiful deep distortion that amps costing ten times what the JOYO did produce. I don't know how this company manages to pull this off at this price point. But if you need a tiny portable amp for practice, small or even large gigs where they mic everything, then you MUST check this JOYO Zombie out. ... show more

LOVE IT!
Color: Copper Set name: American,Rock,Blues
I really like the sound of this little amp. I use it with a cabinet I made with a Celestion 12" Greenback, and the volume is perfect for my home studio/private concert area in my house. I really enjoy it and has become my go to (respite having other brand name amps at home).

Good bedroom amp but fizzy
Color: Red Set name: Clean,Distortion,Metal,Rock
The distortion is fizzy and lots of bass. No string articulation from chords. Not my taste. Jcm800 I don’t think so. The clean side is not pristine and clear, a lot of break up almost overdrive under a halfway gain setting of 10 o’clock. When I tried to make it clean it wasn’t loud and usable. The single tone adjustment is moderate with emphasis on the treble but change the bass very much. It will push a 1x12 Vintage 30 and 2x12 Bugera cab. Overall really good build and may satisfy other people but just not my kind of amp for 70s/80s hard rock. I’m a 30 year pro player with lots of tube amps and diy stuff. ... show more
