User questions & answers

Question:	Also can you get as dc type grit on this? How about master of puppets or avenged sevenfold
Answer:	If u want ACDC tones get the Joyo British it can do classic rock really good front it with an overdrive u can get some early Metallica sounds not good for modern sounds tho
Question:	Has anyone tried the Joyo Calfornia with a bass
Answer:	Yes, it works great ranging from warm punchy and clean up to a raunchy full bore distortion. I generally use it as a warm just slightly driven sound close to the sound of the old Mesa Bass 400+.
Question:	Is this series a copy of the tech 21 pedals? they have a “california” pedal that is supposed to sound like a mesa boogie
Answer:	I think yes it was. This is JOYO going after the market that Tech 21 NYC created with their pedals. I wasn’t too crazy about this pedal... personally. It didn’t sound good on its own. Maybe it would have been better on an amp. I used it straight into my Apollo Twin. I don’t think they were as good as the Tech 21 pedals.
Question:	Will this work on low gain tube amps to get higher gain tones
Answer:	Should work fine. Its a modeling pedal to sound like different Mesa amps. I use one in a pedal train into a DI box to my computer to record. Dont use the bass at all to much bass notch in the pedal and dont dime everything and you'll be fine. Can get very noisy.

None of the old Tweeds supplied reverb so it is our little gift to you! The Monkeyman gan go from a gritty clean to an exploding speaker sound just by turning the “Speaker Breakup” knob. One of the unique features of the Monkeyman is that you can hit the front end with everything you’ve got, overdrives, boosts or whatever you want and it compresses just like an old tweed. That is where you can craft those old scorching classic lead tones and more. I would never use the word pretty to describe the Monkeyman because it is pure grit and amazing feel. It is not an Overdrive, not a Boost and not a Fuzz……it is all of them with reverb.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this pedal best placed in a chain
Answer:	It did not sound good on my 15-year old, solid-state, Ibanez Wholeone 80w, 24" speaker, Jazz amp. But, that does not mean it is not any good. My amp solid-state amp does not like all pedals. And, I have also heard that pedals work best on tube amps, and you may have to turn up the volume loud to get the sound and tone you want. Don't give up yet, because, you can always try it, and if you do not like the tones, then send it back. Amazon is an excellent company to send items back with no hazels. Keep in mind that this pedal supposedly gets a big Fender "Tube Amp" sound from a little box. Will it really do that with your home amp? Only you can decide that with it connected to your equipment. Good luck! TG, from Orlando, Florida
Question:	Is the output signal strong enough to drive headphones or will i need a preamp or the monitor output on my usb interface
Answer:	This would technically "work", but not too loudly, and assuming your headphones are stereo, it would only produce sound in one ear unless you use a mono adapter on your headphone plug to make it mono in both ears. The headphones would also need to be lower Ohm to be even remotely usable -- like 32 Ohm. Out of curiosity, I actually just tried it with my 80 Ohm headphones, and got a little bit of sound out of the left side only. But the bottom line is that this isn't how the device is meant to be used (is more of a hack), and while you'd technically get sound out of it, the sound quality would be low with little headroom. The output is really meant for a mono instrument cable to some sort of power amp, like an actual guitar amp, PA system, or computer.
Question:	Is this based on the model of the complete amphead+cabinet or just the head
Answer:	Amp+cabinet
Question:	does the user manual has the explaination of all the knobs
Answer:	Yes, you can find in the attached user manual in the package. Thank you for the attention, we have many other interesting items, also welcome to visit.
