Joyo Jam Buddy II Black

Malheureusement vite renvoyé.
J’espérais beaucoup de ce mini ampli très séduisant sur le papier et dans toutes les vidéos que j’avais vues.
Le form factor est vraiment top. C’est vraiment bien pensé et ergonomique.
La prise en main est rapide et intuitive.
De ce côté là rien à dire.
Pour moi ce qui a péché, c’est le son.
Je m’attendais à mieux. Je sais que dans cette gamme de prix on ne peut pas être trop exigent, mais en 2026 tout le monde sais à peut prêt à quoi ressemble une bonne simulation.
Alors attention je parle du high gain, mon registre étant le métal. Pour le clean je pense que c’est exploitable bien qu’il y ait une latence perceptible lorsqu’on utilise les effets.
En high gain donc, c’est trop juste.
Les basses sont molles et les aigus synthétiques.
Je l’ai testé avec un casque et avec le hp intégré. A priori le son est mieux sur un baffle Frfr plus puissant mais n’est pas ce à quoi est destiné cette ampli.
Les sons on l’air d’être des captures de rig complet avec une techno propriétaire ou des profils NAM convertis. La possibilité de charger ses propres IR aurait probablement aider mais j’imagine que ça ne passait pas dans le budget.
Il faudra attendre l’intégration des profils NAM A2 pour avoir un son de qualité sur ce genre s’unité. Le meilleur reste à venir!
Donc si vous êtes pas trop exigeant sur le son et que vous recherchez un truc pratique, léger et fonctionnel pour bosser dans la chambre ou à l’extérieur, le jam buddy est pour vous.

At the time of writing, this little black (and pink, orange and silver) box of tricks is sold out for Christmas, and I know I'm a very, very lucky boy to have one, so here's a review to whet your appetite while you await their no doubt, soon restocking.
I'm a player of a certain vintage (think early 90s), and if you cut your teeth as a player back in the 80s/ 90s, you'll know just how difficult, and never ending, our quest for half-decent, affordable gear that didn't sound like horrendous vomit-crap. This is where you lucky young whippersnappers have it soooo good these days, in that it truly is a golden age for musicians (and yet, paradoxically the darkest, perhaps?), if I had my hands on this thing back in 92, I tell ya,,,you'd all for sure know my name by now 🤣 🤟.
Joking aside, this *is* a phenomenal piece of gear; the tones man,, my word,, the tones are awesome,,
I mean the size of this thing,, it sounds amazing. Nothing like my formative years here; cue nightmarish teenage memories of trying to squeeze decent sounds from a *Gorilla* practice amp (iykyk, if not, just google em, or ask your uncle Mike 😱).
The integral drum machine is basic, but hey, it works fine, won't steal your girlfriend, and never shows up drunk and/or late for practice!
The effects are really decent, giving you all you'll ever need for practice, even gigging, and if you need more, it takes pedals like a champ. The tones (and overall sound for it's compact size), are for me, what this little gem is all about, there aren't a lot of them available on the unit (14), but what joyo have given you here, are high quality, and extremely versatile tones, that have something for everybody. The Jam Buddy II sounds *great* lined out; and the Bluetooth function works pretty flawlessly as well, I'm just astounded frankly. Everything included in this package and executed this well, would have cost hundreds and hundreds of various monies not all that long ago,, now you can get all this for less than 100!
So, when they do come back in stock don't fight a Gorilla, just get one, you'll be rather pleased you did!

This little gadget is designed for electric guitar, but the combination of amp, speaker and being rechargeable made me, an acoustic player, try it anyway . And I wasn't disappointed..what a great little piece of equipment! Playing it acoustic works great, you do not have so many options for the amp choice but that's fine. I thought I might need a compressor in between for the signal but it picks it up great. In combination of the settings of the amp and the equalizer you can get a pretty good sound. A few things worth noting; by pushing the buttons your foot covers the display and partly the led of the pedal, so you it's a bit guessing if you are using the looper and deleting, but after a couple of days you get the hang of it. Another thing is you cannot control the volume of the looper, it would have been handy to have that separate from your input so you can put the looper more or less on the background. Good value for the money and great for taking along on a trip....
