Official Joyo Club Part 2: Beyond Thunderclone

#1,721
Hey, so now that I've inherited RyanJD's Pipebomb can I get a number too?

Also, I've been looking at the D-SEED delay and the Iron Loop looper... opinions? The Iron Loop appears to be a straight up clone of the TC Ditto (except 16-bit sound in exchange for a longer memory)...

Well, in my maddening search for a $200-300 preamp DI to use for my ampless recording rig, I broke down and spent $26 on an American Sound to use in front of my Fishman Stage Platinum DI.
If it's stupid and it works, it isn't stupid, right?

Definitely isn't stupid if it works. I was using a British sound into my Hartke Attack DI and thought it was killer. Those are gone, but I've picked up a few more Joyos... with ~$30 for a pedal I don't think they can be beat for pure value. I've bought and sold many and I'm now down to 8 Joyo pedals. I should really post a pic of them, they're part of my home practice rig, but they'e totally gig worthy.

Finally got a chance to try my American Sound for my ampless recording setup.
Holy balls this thing is rad! Set for super low drive it just warms things up perfectly. I'm surprised with how much variation in sound I can pull out of it. I've never been a big fan of heavier distortion on bass, but I wouldn't be surprised if I could find a decent heavy tone with this thing.
I'm so glad I gambled $25 on this thing instead of saving up $200+ for a "real" ampless recording setup.

I use a California Sound in basically the same way into an old Dietz Passive DI, Killer.

Hey how do you like the compressor? Does it compare to anything else youve used?

Right.

So, because Jaguar has some cars that are on a Ford chassis, we should allow Ford owners to join the Jaguar club. In turn, Jaguar owners should be able to join Ford Muscle-Car Clubs, too. Makes perfect sense to me...

... in some other parallel Ricky&Morty-like universe.

Reminds me of the guys that show up to a Classic Car show with their 2010 Mustang — "Sorry dude, your modern Mustang isn't a 'classic' " — then the millennial-Mustang owner gets all huffy thinking the show organisers are being elitist snobs. :rollno:
