Near-Perfect

Othi 11.05.2025

It's basically a Sansamp but cheaper.

You are met with very little resistance when moving the dials. You'd better take a picture of your settings before throwing this in the pedalboard carrying bag, because the dials are VERY easily repositioned.

Would've liked them to be a bit stiffer, like my Darkglass and TC Electronic pedals, but I can't really complain for the price.

C’est mon premier preampli et donc il m’est impossible de comparer mais, j’avoue m’être avaler pas mal de vidéos et je ne suis pas déçu. Mes basses ne sonnent plus pareil ! L’égalisation répond bien, un léger drive par dessus et c’est parfait. Je tâtonne encore entre le blend et la présence mais le son a déjà bien gagné. Construction qui inspire confiance, une di et une prise casque, il ne manque qu’une entrée auxiliaire. Mais pour moins de 100 euros, on ne va pas pinailler. Très content de mon achat !
Livraison dans les temps, bien emballé, merci Thomann !

Wahou ça sonne !

En découverte récente du monde des pédales et effets basses, j’ai récemment investi dans un Zoom B1 Four (géniale) pour me rendre compte que je n’utilise que 5 des 50 effets de la Zoom. Ça se résume souvent à EQ / Sans Amp / Drive / Ampeg cab sim.
Tout ce que fait la petite Joyo, et plus costaud que le Zoom pour la scène.
Hyper satisfait du son obtenu sur mes 2 passives (Copie Mustang avec Flats et Une Sire D5).
Les réglages ne sont vraiment pas intuitifs, vous référer au mode d’emploi de la T*ch 21 S**samp ;-).
Et en plus il y a une DI et une prise casque !!
L’overdrive est vraiment génial et l’EQ hyper réactif

Ps : gros bémol pour la livraison Thomann via DHL, une semaine et zero suivi. Déçu
