Hello!
I'm Ola Englund and today
I'm trying out the Joyo Meteor amplifier, a part of the Bantamp Tube 20 watt amplifier series from Joyo
*awesome riffs incoming*
Gain - 10 Tone - 9.5 Volume - 4.5
Why are you so shy? Come over here! Okay! That's better!
That's better! Bring that cable over.
That's better!
Awesome!
So, if you haven't heard about these amplifiers before:
They're basically small twenty-watt amplifiers based on popular amplifiers' sounds. I've already tried the Zombie amp,
which is based on a Mesa Boogie amplifier.
This time I'm trying out the Meteor and seeing how they made the "OR"
in another color in the name on the amplifier,
I guess it's based on an Orange amplifier. So these Bantamps are powered by one preamp tube and a 20 watt
solid-state power amplifier.
Headphone output with speaker simulation,
Bluetooth connection, so you can hook up your iPhone or smartphone for backing tracks or any audio.
So I guess you can actually stream any audio through it
Okay, let's try this
*Miscellaneous orgasms*
Huh, that works great!
And at the back here,
you can also see it has an FX loop. Two channels: clean and overdrive and the layout is dead easy:
You have gain,
tone and volume and that's basically all you need to know about this little, small amplifier and it weighs nothing.
Look!
This is my little finger!
So let me try it out for a bit and see how it sounds.
*angrily riffs*
*chugging*
Oh, that's out of tune! Alright, so, that sounds pretty cool.
I'm going to compare this head, now, against the zombie head which is based on a Mesa Boogie amplifier.
Let's use the same settings to start off with.
Alri-i-ight!
*Chuggah - Chuggah - Meshuggah*
So, the Meteor amp is a little bit more British sounding, and maybe not as tight as the Zombie amp,
but it has a really nice richness to it, that's really refreshing.
I must say this is the second one of these that I'm trying out, and it's just a lot of fun
It gives me the same feeling for when I was trying out different
distortion pedals back in the day; only now, it's
actual amplifiers. And these small amps are so loud for their size,
it's insane, basically.
