I can sort of relate, we had a used brown Chevette. I guess my old man misheard me when I said it would be cool to have a Chevelle!

We had 2 visits within an hour once over the amps being too loud. They weren't as cool the second time they visited but the first time, they sat outside and listened for about 10mins lmao

Hell if you were my neighbor and you were playing some rock'in tunes I'd probably just grab some drinks and come over to visit.

I'm curious, what tune did you play?

Just about anything.
If it was a cover, I'd practice the day before.
Some of the the ones I would get some cheers for were,
Lonely is the Night
Slow Ride
Back in Black
Highway to Hell
Those were the more memorable ones.
Back then, I really had nothing else to do, so if I gave some listening enjoyment to a few people, at least it was something.

That's exactly why I want a ZoMBie.

If I was still gigging/touring, and could afford it I'd have a Soldano SLO100, Peavey 5150 Block Letter, MoshALL JCM900 and a Mesa Badlander.

I currently have a JCA50 that covers the Soldano tone, a 6506mh that gets the 5150/6505 tone, a DSL1 that does the JCM thing and all I "need" now to cover all the extreme metal bases is a Recto option. Sure none of mine are as awesome as their "big brothers", but they get close enough to make me smile when I fire them up.

Since the Badlander 50 watter is like $2k and the 100 is $2500, a ZoMBie getting most of the way there is GETMO for me (Good Enough To Move On).

Hence the ZoMBie GAS.

Tangent: in Evil's defense, sure this isn't a "perfect" shootout, but from all the other vids I've watched comparing Joyos to "real" amps, he output the same thing as everyone else: they sound close, but somewhat limited. Good job Evil! Thanks for putting this together.

Agreed, the Zombie sounded good!

But some of the Rectifiers can get really good low volume tones because of the way the volume controls are set up. They have individual channel master volumes plus an 'Output' volume, which is basically an overall master volume. There is also a Solo volume control. I have a 50W Single Rectifier (Series 2) that sounds good at basement volume and since I bought it used it only cost me $1,200 CAD.

My best friend all through school had a "hand me down" Chevette ..... we used to pick up girls asking if they wanted to go for a rid in his "Vette" .......... worked a couple times actually .... I think they had walked in the OHIO cold ---- ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE MALL TO THE che"VETTE" and figured what the hell we were cute and had weed.......... wait -- did I say that?

See I been in "marketing" since WAY BACK

Yeah, unlike the 6505+, which goes from 10db at 1 on the volume to "oh my God my ears are bleeding!" at 2.

If I saw a Badlander for $1200 I'd be hard pressed to not sell something to buy it. :dood:
