Product description

METEOR 20 WATT TUBE STAGE DRIVEN HEAD In their new banTamP series of Heads The Meteor is just one awesome little powder keg in their new banTamP series, and will be offering more models soon. 20 watts of tone in easy take anywhere configuration. The Meteor from Joyos BantamP series is a very compact and portable 20 Watt head. It gives you a modern high gain sound with a lot of dirt and bite. Based on a more modern British approach to heavy sounds, it excels in a variety of genres. It was the punk and indie scene that introduced those sounds to the world, but today, due to an increase in gain, also the metal players enjoy this alternative British flavor. The Meteor can give you those sounds in a tiny package and deliver a hefty punch of gain and bottom end. The amp operates with a single 12AX7 tube in the preamp and uses a solid state power amp. The FX loop enables you to put your time based effects (or Phasers, Flangers and Choruses) behind the drive section and keep the effects sharp and not prevent them from being too muddy. The amp also has a CLEAN channel that can take pedals really well, which makes it flexible and a great little companion for many situations where your big head is just not sensible. The amp has a speaker out rated at 8O, but can also be operated at 16O with less power. Careful, the amp is small, but loud its 20 Watts can be quite a handful. If you want to practice quietly, use the built in headphone out with speaker emulation. The icing on the cake is the BLUETOOTH connectivity. Easily connect with your BLUETOOTH enabled device and play music through the BantamP. This is great to practice with PlayAlongs or to learn songs. Features: Preamp circuit: JFET+ 1 x 12AX7 Power amp: CLASS D Channel mode: CLEAN / OD Amp power: 20W(RMS) Aux in function: Bluetooth music playing Bluetooth version: 4.0

User questions & answers

Question: Can you swap the tube
Answer: Thanks for the interest. Not immediately accessible, but can certainly remove the top lid case ( 4-5 small hex screws) where it will lift off, and the Tube is right there for changing out. Actually very easy once the hex screws have been removed.
Question: Would / could you gig with this amp
Answer: Depending on the speaker cab you play it through, yes, you could gig with the amp.
Question: Does it have a decent 'tube' warmth and punch through the headphones, or is it flat and fuzzy
Answer: If you allow time for the tube to warm up (10-15 min) and use Over the Ear headphones it does indeed have that tube warmth and thickness. I did notice a thin tin like sound when using ear buds.
Question: What (if any) factory warranty comes with these, thanks
Answer: There was no factory warranty in the box.

User questions & answers

Question: Could I plug this into my computer and use audacity to record
Answer: If you have a recording interface, you should be able to just plug from the quarter inch out on the Joyo to the quarter inch in on the interface.If you are using the computers 3.5 millimeter input, just make sure you do trial run or two to set the Joyo's Level control so that it doesn't distort the pc input. You may also need adapters or cables to fit the actone and pc jacks in order use them together.
Question: Can you bypass the cabinet simulator? is there a switch for that? (in case i want to use it with a guitar amp instead of direct to pa
Answer: Oh yeah, for bypassing the simulator you press on the switch and it turns the pedal off/on. you can use this as a preamp or a drive to get the AC flavour. The pedal itself isn't a cab simulator but more so copies the AC variety like a Drive pedal. The voice knob is the control for shaping the sound of the amp styles (inside the pedal) (I personally enjoy having the voice at 10o'clock.) I think this will do fine going into your chain and out to an amplifier. Hope this helps!
Question: I was wondering how much signal gain/boost this pedal is capable of? Looking to get an instrument level close to line level to feed a headphone amp. TIA
Answer: I'm not sure on a technical level how much signal boost this pedal can provide, and I've seen nothing online either, but I've used it straight into a PA without a guitar amp (it's an amp simulator so that sounds pretty good) and it had more than enough signal to work with.
Question: hi...is this good for bass
Answer: Ran bass through it straight into the PA. Turned effects off and it sounded really good. Used for worship. Typically play guitar and have several pedals on my board with this the last pedal on board. Bypassed all pedals for bass. Ran bass into the input and out to the PA.

  • ATOMIC from JOYO's BantamP series is a very compact and portable 20 Watt head. that gives you the British clean sound, the one that has hollow mids and a beautiful bell like character. this amp delivers a briliant bite and has shaped the history of rock music through the ages.
  • The ATOMIC brings all of that history into your living room in a very compact way. you'll be amazed by the crystal clear and the cutting drive sounds. its drive channel has a great mid gain sound and is just perfect for pop/rock sounds and indie rhythms.
  • The ATOMIC also has a CLEAN channel that can take pedals really well, which makes it flexible and a great little companion for many situations where your "big" head is just not sensible. Use a TS-type pedal (like the JOYO Green Legend or Vintage Overdrive) to push it into higher gain territory and hear it sing.
  • The amp operates with a single 12AX7 tube in the preamp and uses a solid state power amp. the FX loop enables you to put your time based effects (or Phasers, Flangers and Choruses) behind the drive section and keep the effects sharp and not prevent them from being too muddy.
  • The icing on the cake is the Bluetooth connectivity is great to practice with PlayAlongs or to learn songs. Careful, the amp is small, but loud… its 20 Watts can be quite a handful. If you want to practice quietly, use the built in headphone out with speaker emulation.

User questions & answers

Question: Can I use this for bass? Is there a combo version
Answer: Hello customer, thank you for the question, our tube amp series is designed for electric guitar only, we are also dedicated in producing the bass line for this kind of product, please keep on watching our AITONE store. The combo version in our store is MA-10B, a mini practice amp, but not tube. Thank you!
Question: Can you play a bass guitar with this amp
Answer: Hi, yes of course, you can.
Question: Would using a multi fx processor through the fx loop on this be better option then throughthe front of it? will it work with any mini cab rated for
Answer: Generally, you would want to put "pre-gain" effects in front of the loop (if you get your gain from the amp) - volume, wah, compression, etc. Effects that work well "post-gain" and are ideal for the loop are modulation effects (chorus, phaser, flanger, vibrato, etc.), delay, and reverb. This is a difficult split with a multi-effects unit unless you use it primarily for the effects that work well at one end or other of gain. That said, if you are getting your gain from your multi-effects and running the amp clean, you should put the multi-effects unit in the front of the amp and don't use loop at all.
Question: Is it loud enough with a 2x12 cab for gigging
Answer: Impedance above 8Ohm, the amplifier is loud enough, be careful.
