Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
A direct evolution of the acclaimed BanTamP series, the BanTamP XL version retains the Jackman's sonic DNA while adding separate channel controls and footswitch switching. Positioned as the "performance" option among JOYO's micro-heads, the Jackman II targets guitarists who want compactness without sacrificing versatility and stage readiness.
Who This Amp Is For
Perfect for motivated beginners to experienced musicians, the Jackman II adapts to home, home studio, rehearsals, and small gigs. Its clear Clean channel and punchy Overdrive channel cover rock, classic rock, hard rock, punk, and powerful pop, with a precise tone that readily accepts effects via the loop.
Features and Innovations
The Jackman II offers two independent channels with six potentiometers (Gain, Tone, Volume per channel) for fine balancing of clean and saturation. The included footswitch manages channel switching. The 12AX7/ECC83 tube preamp injects warmth and dynamics, while the class D power stage delivers an effective 20 W at 8 ohms. Practical features include Bluetooth 4.0 for playing along with music, effects loop send/return, 6.35 mm speaker output, 3.5 mm headphone output, and dedicated Clean/OD, Bluetooth, and Power switches.
The Sound
A quintessential hybrid amp, the Jackman II combines the fast attack and efficiency of class D with the warmth of a tube preamp. The Clean channel offers controlled brightness with moderate headroom, ideal for pedals and arpeggios. The Overdrive channel delivers a tight crunch with present mids, evolving into a powerful and articulate saturation, perfect for British rock riffs and biting solos that cut through the mix.

Questions frequently asked
