Joyo BantAmp II Review and Demo

Writer: Sam GoffenSam Goffen

The Joyo Bantamps are incredibly small, but still pretty powerful, amplifier heads based on many very popular classic sounds.


And I'm actually giving away the amp I demoed, which was the awesome Meteor II to a random UK subscriber once the YouTube channel hits 2k subscribers. So if it's not there yet and you fancy a chance of getting this, you'll need to subscribe when watching the video below, but also to this website's community by clicking below.

Review


One of the main selling points of these is that they are 'hybrid' amplifiers, in as much as they all have a single tube in the pre-amp stage. The chosen tube is a 12AX7, which are known to have great sound reproduction qualities. This means the Bantamps benefit from having tube based overdrive in the preamp stages but a digital power amp, hopefully providing us with the best of both worlds - power in a small footprint but with the warmth and breakup of a tube.



Another great feature is the true 2 channel nature of these amps. Many mini amps, especially at this price point, do not have two separate channels, let alone ones you can use a foot switch to swap between.


Not only that, but both channels have their own gain, tone and volume controls.


The other most important features are the effects loop, the headphones out - with a baked in cab sim, and the bluetooth compatibility, which means you can connect via your chosen device and play along to jam tracks.
