Mini Tube Amp JOYO VIVO

The VIVO from JOYO's BantamP series is a very compact and portable 20-Watt head. It delivers the sound of a British classic, reworked to give you the modern high-gain tones that so many bands use today.

‌Classic Tone, Modern High Gain‌

Back in the day, the big 100-Watt heads were "dimed" (all knobs on 10) to push the amplifier really hard and make it distort as much as possible. Out of this came the first amps that were modified to have more gain right from the start. That super-saturated high-gain sound is often referred to as "The Brown Sound" — and this is the direction the VIVO excels in.

Screaming leads, chunky rhythms with a bit of a hole in the mids… this is where the VIVO is strongest. If you wanna rock 'n' roll, the VIVO is going to be your new best friend!

‌Circuitry‌

The amp operates with a single 12AX7 tube in the preamp and uses a solid-state power amp.

‌FX Loop and CLEAN Channel‌

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, without letting them get 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.

‌Outputs‌

The amp has a speaker out rated at 8 Ω, but it can also be operated at 16 Ω 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.

‌Bluetooth‌

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 for practicing with PlayAlongs or for learning songs.
