The JOYO Badasshas a 12AX7 Preamp tube - The ability to reproduce the sound of the bass was a key factor in assessing a tube for the JOYO Bantamp XL series. The 12AX7 pre amp tube produces the warm smooth tones that do not clip tone as a typical fixed state amp head would. The Tube Pre amp has the sonic focus of warming tone stages and keeps your bass guitar sounding true to its original tone.
Normal Channel
With 2 different states to select from, stomp on the footswitch to the Normal channel and use with your array of guitar, switch again to introduce the compressor effect.
A two channel amp makes a bass head twice as versatile as alternatives and a makes great companion for musicians at practice or on the road. The Bantamp XL will always be true to itself.
Compressor Effect
This litte BadASS comes alive with its broad compressor depth & gain settings. You can still use your favourite overdrive pedals to push things even further with your own unique flavour pedals, or in the FX loop for some superior control.
Push the drive and you will feel the bass kick some ass.
Foot Switch
A solid footswitch to remotely move between settings. !
FX Loop
The FX loop on a guitar amplifier enables you to put your modulated based effects (Phasers, Flanger, tremolo and Chorus) after the JOYO Bantamp XL delivers its drive magic. The FX loop keeps the modulated effects pure and will prevent them from becoming muddied from the amp gain. Adding an EQ into the FX loop can add more control over your gain tone.
Bluetooth Wireless Connectivity
Pair your Bluetooth device to the Bantamp XL and jam along to your favourite tracks, connect your external device via Bluetooth and play your audio tracks cleanly through the amps Bluetooth receiver channel. We find that this is the great way to practice guitar with and to learn new songs without a big tangle of wires.
Headphone Out with Built in Cab Speaker Amp Simulation
With an upgraded headphone & Line Out, the Bantamp XL from JOYO has a speaker out rated at 4 OHM, but will work with higher rated speakers 8-16.
If you do not have a cab, you can even just use the amp on headphones, or into your DI/PA system, perfect for recording straight into your set up, without the load.
Careful, the amp is small, but 50 Watts is loud and will deliver a handful.
Once you start working with the new JOYO Bantamp XL guitar & bass amplifiers, you will forget their physical size, the tones achieved here are eXtra Large.
