I have two

They really are that good. No speaker emulation...
Are you sure about that, Mike? I thought they were the same as the Tech21 ones except you couldn't turn off the speaker emulation?

The blurb on Joyo's website seems to suggest the same:
Perhaps the greatest feature of this pedal is the fact that it has inbuilt cabinet emulation meaning you can go from the pedal directly to a mixing desk, a DAW or directly to your computer/laptop with a jack to USB lead. So this pedal is essentially a DI. You can use it instead of an amp and it can save your gig if your amp fails, just put it at the end of all your other pedals and set it clean like your amp then just take the output from the American sound straight to the desk. Gig saved. Or by going direct into a DAW or even your laptop you can record directly from the pedal.

Yeah, as pictured earlier, the V2 Sansamps had the option to turn it off; V1 and these clones have it hardwired but it's just an EQ curve anyways.

Yeah I got that backwards - it’s never been an issue either way to be honest

I had had some wines when I wrote that

Pens - the fender mustang amp I had was the same with pedals - maybe the American sound can do you a favour and act as a nice amp buffer so you can run pedals into it

Yep. It sounds pretty great, though it didn't really help much as a pre-pre-amp for my little Mustang combo amp as I hoped. I ended up reversing the order so the California Sound was after it.

I only use it at home, though. At practice I just use a Palmer box that does something similar, since it's a bit more rugged. Only issues I found with the Joyo pedals is the switch can be a bit eh.
