Babe, wake up—JOYO dropped a practice amp that genuinely might kick everything you currently own’s butt. In this video I plug my 2025 Gibson Les Paul Studio Limited straight into the Joyo JamBuddy II and walk through why I’m so hyped on it: no app, no account, no firmware updates, no cloud nonsense. You turn it on, it boots immediately, and you’re playing. For a practice amp, that simplicity is exactly what I want. I demo clean tones, drive tones, and stupid high gain, and I’m honestly impressed with how solid it sounds—especially as someone who lives in Fractal Land 24/7. The controls are super intuitive (press the amp knob to see what you’re on, quick access to the tuner, easy save/quit), and the tone knobs have a full sweep so you can actually shape the sound. You’ve got a full signal chain built in (gate, OD, amp, mod, delays/reverbs, cab, post EQ, looper), plus a drum machine because you’ve gotta learn to play in time. Then I test Bluetooth playback in the room and it gets loud enough to jam with guitar without the track disappearing. Between the I/O (line in/out, headphones, USB OTG) and the portability, this is a killer grab-and-go solution for apartments, dorms, hotel rooms on tour, backstage warmups, and honestly for me—teaching lessons every week.
