It&#8217;s fair to say that Phil Jones has implemented an option for powering through a Power Bank in the new X4C model.<br \/>\nPros for Phil Jones:<br \/>\nInput Gain knob (on Joyo You need to set the input volume using the bass guitar volume pot).<br \/>\nAll other features are unimportant to me, like bluetooth,  the Joyo&#8217;s compressor or Phil Jones&#8217;s nicer knobs&#8230;All, except for one thing &#8211; the price. The Phil Jones costs 5 times more than the Joyo.<br \/>\nIs Phil Jones 5 times better than Joyo, definitely not! It is questionable whether it is better at all!<\/p>\n<p>While no monetary compensation was received for this review, Joyo amplifier was provided by the manufacturer for my consideration.<br \/>\nAll opinions remain my own!<\/p>\n<p>Recording technician &#8211; Ladislav Kubik (who provided the PJB amp).<\/p>\n<p>If You liked this video, Share, Like and Subscribe to my YouTube Channel !<br \/>\n  \/ ___obra___  <\/p>\n<p>You can also make a Virtual Tip: https:\/\/paypal.me\/ObradLacarac<\/p>\n<p>All music themes by Obrad Lacarac.
