Joyo Jackman II Bantamp XL 20 Watts Amp Head

Joyo Jackman II Bantamp XL 20 Watts Amp Head blends valve and solid-state guitar amplifier technology, resulting in a tiny amp head that can produce an immense sound representative of a classic British amp. At only 163mm x 110mm x 140mm, and weighing in at only 1.2kg, the Joyo Jackman II Bantamp XL 20 Watts Amp Head still fills some giant shoes with ease, boasting a mid-gain drive sound that reacts beautifully to your playing and guitar volume.

Just like the classic rock monster, the Joyo Jackman II Bantamp XL 20 Watts Amp Head can really sing when you push it further. We recommend using a TS-type distortion pedal (like the Joyo BAATSIN, Green Legend or Vintage Overdrive) to push it into higher-gain territory. This little Joyo Jackman II Bantamp XL 20 Watts Amp Head has more rock in it than the whole of Blackpool. (Blackpool is a British Seaside resort famous for its 'rock' of the confectionary kind).

The Joyo Jackman II Bantamp XL 20 Watts Amp Head has a 1 x 12AX7 Preamp tube, which retains the character of your guitar whilst adding great tube-driven tones! The 12AX7 pre amp tube produces warm, smooth overdrive tones that do not clip tone harshly as a typical solid-state amp head would. The pre-amp has sonic focus on fattening gain stages yet keeps your guitar sounding true to its original tone.

Clean Channel

Flick the Joyo Jackman II Bantamp XL 20 Watts Amp Head to the CLEAN channel for an awesome pedal platform. A two-channel amp makes a guitar head twice as versatile as alternatives and makes a great companion for musicians at practice or out on the road. The Joyo Jackman II Bantamp XL 20 Watts Amp Head has enough headroom to keep it clean at volume, and the tube pre-amp plays beautifully with overdrives and boosts.

Distortion Channel

The Joyo Jackman II Bantamp XL 20 Watts Amp Head comes alive with its gain settings. Push the drive and you will hear the Joyo Jackman II scream, and you can use your favourite overdrive pedals to push it even further into higher gain territory and add your own unique flavour. The FX loop enables you to put your modulation and time-based effects (Phasers, Flanger, Tremolo, Delay, Reverb and Chorus) after the Joyo Jackman II delivers its drive magic from the tube pre-amp, and before the solid-state power amp. This keeps these effects clean and will prevent them from becoming muddied from the amp gain.

Bluetooth Wireless Connectivity

Pair your Bluetooth device to the Joyo Jackman II Bantamp XL 20 Watts Amp Head Amp Head and jam along to your favourite classic rock tracks, connect your external device via Bluetooth and play your audio tracks cleanly through the amps Bluetooth receiver channel. We find that this is a great way to practice the guitar and to learn new songs without a big tangle of wires.

Headphone Out with Built-in Cab Speaker Amp Simulation
