The JOYO JF-13 AC Tone Vox Amp Simulator does a pretty credible job of emulating the range of tones available from a Vox AC30 amplifier. Its circuitry doesn't include any tubes, so you won't get quite the same characteristics as the real McCoy - it's not as sensitive to how hard you pick, pluck, or hammer-on strings, for instance, and sustained notes don't have the same "blooming" effect (where their volume swells as the note lingers) as an actual, all-tube AC30 - but then again it doesn't cost $1,200, either. It does, however, allow you to dial in a lot of the great AC30 tones that played such a prominent role in the British Invasion sound, from clear, bell-like cleans through satisfying crunch to soaring, overdrven leads, and beyond, into the realm of raging, metallic distortion. Of course, it gets pretty noisy once you crank the Level, Voice (a kind of master EQ knob that also adds to the level of distortion), and Drive controls up past 3:00, but you'd get a fair amount of noise out of an actual AC30 with that much preamplification, too, so, in that sense, the noise is sort of authentic. I haven't tried it with an AC adapter, but it works just fine on a Danelectro Classic 9-volt battery. The case is cast aluminum, so it should be road-friendly. I haven't used it long enough to tell if the footswitch will stand up to heavy use - but it's a mechanical switch, so it won't last forever, regardless. For $30 bucks or so, it's a nice little amp emulation pedal - and it's about 70 pounds lighter than the amplifier it's based on. Put it through a direct box into your PA, stick your pedalboard in front of it, and all you'll need is your favorite guitar to rock out with the classic tones of the Kinks, the Beatles, or the Who ...Read full review

A decent overdrive box, sounds good with single coil strings to get an approximate Fender amp sound from pretty clean to more distortion than most Fenders do. My first one stopped working after little use, but I liked it so I got another. Joyo has a reputation for poor build quality, but this is the first not to last out more than 10 pedals I got from them. Cheap and cheerful for studio use.

I have been playing guitar for 50 years...and 95% of that time I used a Fender amp, so I know a little about what they sound like. I bought this on the recommendations of many positive reviews and the fact that I only paid 30 bucks for it. When I got it, I plugged through a Fender blues jr. to see if I could match the exact tone and sound... replicating the tone of the blues jr. would be very difficult for many sonic reasons; but, I managed to get very close and this pedal does have the tonality of a Fender amp...prob voiced more toward a deluxe. I then used it for what it is really meant for, as a pre amp and played it through my Daw..it does sound very fender like. With a couple of pedals..ex. reverb and compression...you could take this to the gig or rehearsal and plug it through the PA system. The controls work well and the voicing knob is especially cool. I highly recommend this pedal and the ACTone as well..good inexpensive pedals.Read full review

This pedal is an incredible value—pd $19 straight from China on eBay–I’ve paid waaaay more and been less impressed to be sure. It’s well built pots have nice range and feel. Works great as an enhancement to a dull clean sound or for bumping up the gain on a subtly driven amp. Haven’t run the emulation through a board or daw yet but that added functionality is just a bonus for me. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This is a great little peddle that gives you a wide variety of old school fender sound. From clean and fat to dirty and broke up this peddle literally can replace 3 to 4 pedals to simplify a sound or it can be used with other peddles to get a more articulate sound. Great peddle awsome value and a defenet keeper
