What's with the Zip amp?

[Demanic]

Got this thing a few weeks back. Some version of a BB Xotic. I love it. I've been running it by itself straight into several different amps. Tube or SS, this thing gets it done.

Cool, right? The Horse seems to have a fairly simple circuit design, but I really liked its level of drive and inherent tightness and the built-in compression toggle was more functional than some of the other BB-inspired pedals I've come across. Glad you're digging it!

That's a monster! No wonder you have it outside!

Well, I figure that if I get to listen to the neighbors across the street cranking banda loud enough to be heard clearly in my living room over my own surround sound system, then I should return the favor with my guitar.

I have been looking at the Horse stuff. They do some cool-looking AIB stuff. I am on the fence about their Fender Deluxe box. Seeing you are liking the ZIP AMP I might pull the trigger on the American (Fender) or California (MESA) box for ~$35

For $35 I might get one.
But this thing has sounded good into every amp that I've used it with so far.
Serious old school metal tones using the V with the Crunchlab/D-Activator neck set.

So are these some offshoot of Joyo? Same names ("Uzi", "Tauren") and similar look.

More of a riff-off of Joyo's IP.

They are borrowing names and looks from Joyo, but the circuit boards and components are definitely a bit different between the two brands. They don't appear to be made by the same factory as far as I can tell.

So we've gotten to a point where people are cloning the cloners....(nothing against Joyo, love my Uzi, looking forward to a Zip Amp shortly). Really, it's turtles all the way down, isn't it?

It was my first ever halfstack and first rig I ever gigged with. Amazing sound not just for the price, but in general and a total sleeper amp, as it seems people have only just noticed how good they are. Even the G3 with the tube wasn’t as good.

Been using my Zip amp to goose my TT-Mayhem. Takes it into modern ultra gain mode.
