- Amp Simulator Guitar Pedal, 9 Amp Models with Dual Channel & 18 Tones, IR Cab Sim, XLR Out & FX Loop, Bypass (Preamp House R-15)

I’ve been building a pedalboard around the idea of having a real “amp” at the center of it, and the Joyo Preamp House has exceeded my expectations. The biggest selling point is obviously the variety of amp models. There are plenty of great tones to explore, but what really impressed me is that the clean and dirty channels on each model are genuinely useful. I settled on the Friedman model almost immediately because both channels sound great. The clean channel adds life and dynamics without feeling sterile, and the dirty channel has enough gain for hard rock while still taking a Tube Screamer beautifully if I want to tighten things up. This was also my first experience using an effects loop, and I didn’t expect it to make as much of a difference as it did. Moving my modulation, delay, and reverb into the loop made everything sound clearer and less muddy, especially with higher gain sounds. It honestly changed the way I think about my pedalboard. The pedal itself is easy to use. Switching between the clean and dirty channels is simple, and once I got my presets dialed in, it fit perfectly into my setup. If I could change two things, they would both be related to the footswitches. First, it’s very easy to accidentally overwrite a preset. I’d much rather have to hold the footswitch for about three seconds instead of one before it saves. Second, I wish there were a dedicated bypass instead of having to press both footswitches at the same time to turn the pedal off. Neither of these are deal breakers, they’re just small usability improvements. Overall, this is one of those rare pieces of gear that actually solved the problem I bought it to solve. It made my clean tones more inspiring, gave me a great high-gain channel, and even improved the way the rest of my pedals sound thanks to the effects loop. For the price, it’s an incredible value, and I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile preamp pedal.

Alright got my Joyo preamp house R-15 series and it makes great sounds. However I have three different amps and one combo amp which is what I used to make the video today. I will start by mentioning that the pedal doesn’t work well with all amplifers guessing that you have to try yours out to get the idea of wether you like it or not. So anyway any brand names mentioned in my video post is not for any commissions nor advertising purposes. Now the pedal has nice quality knobs and buttons as well as plugins seems nice and sturdy not a cheaply made product. It’s easy to use and setup your programmed settings for each model on the pedal not difficult to use at all . I’ve not used the pedal connected to any computer but only to amplifier and the guitar. Left side button controls clean channels right side button controls the distortion channels -Programming- example: switch on your amp model on distortion side model 2 -Then set your tone knobs and volume level when you’re done and happy with the settings sounds -press down the distortion channel button and hold down until the led lights blink,when light stops blinking its saved for that model -now here’s where I think people are getting confused, if you turn on your pedal switch it the model that has been set from last time it will continue to play those same settings you did -but if you turn any of the knobs it loses the saved settings so remember this and you will need to start over again and set once more All models clean and distortion channels are done the same way as I mentioned above So far every amplifier model on the pedal sounds great but I think some of them are just a little plucky like bassy and too much treble no matter what your set at on the pedal You also have to make adjustments on your amplifier tones as well so don’t forget that part And that’s the part that I don’t like about it I’m guessing all pedals do that but to me it’s annoying and makes things way off one way or another. Back to the sounds from the pedal, like I said it creates awesome tone and sounds alot like what they’ve simulated here on the pedal. So if you want that big MB its here If you want that nasty Marsh it’s here And thats all I can say. Now in my video I mention its getting very warm to hot in around 5-10 minutes after play and I don’t know why either because it’s connected just as instructed by the manual So I’ve contacted the seller at Joyo and they’re working with me to help out. My guess is this one is defective because there’s nothing wrong with any of my equipment as far as that goes. I will update more on how things turn out later on Get one of these you will be amazed by the simulation of amps on here

I'm a big fan of Joyo pedals and this one does not disappoint, I got it on sale and I'm delighted about the price. What is Preamp House? It's a two channel programmable preamp with one channel voiced clean and one voiced dirty. The instructions are not good but after reading them and a bit of experimenting the Preamp House delivered the goods for me. You use the controls to set up and create your clean sound, then press and hold the clean channel selector footswitch to store the sound in the clean channel position. Then repeat the process for the distortion channel, press and hold to store the sound. You're now ready to play. A three position toggle switch controls where the single cab IR is implemented, it can be off or on and the switch allows you to put it on the 1/4" output, the XLR output or both outputs. The single IR is a 4x12 loaded with Celestion speakers, fortunately for me that is my favorite cab configuration. The IR adds a lot of low-end fullness and reduces high frequency fizz on distorted tones. A single mono effect send and return loop is located prior to the main output. I'm currently running a Joyo "Atmosphere" reverb effects pedal in the loop and it sounds great. The "Clean" channel sounds really great, the Fender models are my favorite but there are many great tones available. The "Dirty" channel can really crunch and sing, the EVH voice is outstanding, I like all the dirty sounds and have had a lot of fun experimenting with them. A favorite feature is how the Dirty channel gets cleaner as you turn down the guitar driving the Preamp House. I've done most of my playing and testing of the Preamp House pedal using a Gibson SG and a Line6 Variax Standard guitar. Clean acoustic guitar sounds are full and rich, crunchy sounds easily go from Clapton to AC-DC to Stones and even Black Sabbath. One caution, the Joyo Preamp House requires more current than a 9-volt battery can provide. I tried a brand new Duracell 9-volt and it would make the lights light up but the pedal produced no audio. When I powered the pedal with a 500ma power supply output I was rewarded with big rich sound. (Hint: the Joyo Atmosphere pedal also likes more current than a 9-volt battery can deliver). I personally like this Joyo Preamp House pedal much better than the more expensive SansAmp or Strymon Iridium. While the Iridium allows more IR capability it does not have an effects loop nor channel switching nor the ability to store your settings. The overall build quality on the Joyo Preamp House is excellent. The metal work is heavy duty and all the controls feel good and solid, the pots are smooth without any scratchiness. The paintwork, nomenclature and silk screening are all very high quality as well. The Joyo Preamp House turns my little battery powered Bose S1 FRFR speaker into a fire breathing Marshall or a Fender Deluxe Reverb or something in-between, I could easily gig with this combination and be happy with the dynamics and tone. The Joyo Preamp House WAY exceeded my expectations and fulfills a need. It allows me to play rock guitar without dragging along a dedicated guitar amp. The XLR output can drive a PA system direct while the 1/4" output can drive a stage monitor amp like my Bose S1 or I can turn off the IR on the 1/4" output and plug into one of my Marshall combo amps. Preamp House is a great pedal, great tones, great features and a great price. Good luck and good music to all!

I've only had this pedal for a short time it worked great until the other day I turned it on and it has no output sound at all ...I tried several different amps cables and guitars trying to troubleshoot and it turns out it's the pedal I think it fizzed out in me ...it bothers me because this was my favorite pedal I own out of the 122 pedals I own .....🤷🏻🥺🥺🥺🥺😭

Amazon wants me to talk a about the Delay. This is NOT a delay pedal. It is a functional amp modeler and pre-amp. The models are pretty good. That being said, after 6 months it developed a ground hum that can't be isolated even with the lift switch. The fittings need to be tightened regularly. It's better suited for rehearsal and studio work because if you accidently tweek a parameter mid song it will fade in and out with a nice whining pitch until you "set" it. For the most part mine has become a powered direct box for the studio.

I was looking for an amp sim on a budget and came across this one. Was a great plus that this had an FX loop and two channels. My overall view on this is that it's quite a good pedal at this cost (probably top for me, I've used a Behringer Amp sim before this). Pros: -- Two channels! Gives some more variation and in the amp model I'm using (UK 900), the gain channel is quite responsive to how I play the guitar. -- Versatility: While I have found and saved my favortie Amp settings, the ability to quickly switch amps for different genres is amazing! Cons: -- For the high gain channel, I did get some noise (might be WAI). -- Again on the high gain channel, the EQ seemed a bit off. where the knobs didn't change the tone much! the overall sound felt a bit throttled. I'm found a work around by have tweaking my input using a BD2. In terms of sound quality, I've never had the more expensive pedals other than a couple of BOSS so I wouldn't be able to compare. However, I've used a few Fender and Marshall amps live and this one does emulate those decently. I've got quite a few pedals that go before this and have managed to get some decent tones. For the Aquarius: I've always only had a single type of delay, and with this one I've been having quite a it of fun exploring the different delays and how they can be used for ambient and some interesting tones. Still need to stress test this but like it for now. For the JOYO Revolution series, the DESIGN is a total win for me. I really do like the lights around the pedal. Might get the Noise gate next.

I love this little thing. All you need is this box, your electric guitar, a guitar cable, and a pair of headphones. If you have that, you can practice anywhere anytime. You do need a 500 milliamp port on your power supply to run it. It pulls about 400. But it's great. I plug my guitar into this; I run my pedal board through the effects loop; and I output via the XLR to my mixer. No trouble with signal strength. This thing puts out. The ability to program in settings for a clean tone and an overdrive tone and then just bounce back and forth between them with the foot switch is great. What's even better is that the gain and volume settings are included in your saved settings for the tone, but then you have a master volume which is not. So you can make it where you don't suddenly get super loud as soon as you kick in your overdrive. You can adjust the volume that is part of the settings so that your clean tone is pushing out a little extra and your boost tone is dialing back a bit, so that the volume level is balanced as you jump back and forth between the two. Then you can use the master volume to push more total signal out if you need to. I caught this on sale for $113. At that price, it's hard to imagine anything beating it.

Have had for 3 months now. Only use 3 of the settings, but am quite happy with my tone from those 3

Compre el Joyo Preamp House y llegó fallado. Al conectar a la alimentación de corriente se enciende, pero se apaga en unos segundos. Ya por el con varios adaptadores de corriente y nada.

What a super little box provided great tones, easy to use well worth the money

This is a great pedal. The tones that you are able to get are amazing! I love that it has an FX loop which really allows the user to make the most of this unit and the tone of and feel of a real amp when using time based effects. The simulated cab is also a great addition! It’s very rare to have a simulated line out that sounds as good as this. This pedal is great for home practicing, recording demos, or even it live. I love it! I wish that Joyo! Would send me pedals to review! 😅

I'm a actually a pro signed guitarist fairly recently (2yr). And when I was exploring gear I heard good things on this and reviews on youtube etc but nah.... Not for me at all and went for the $400 pre Amps instead lol. UPDATE: Amazon won't let me review the 10band EQ I got from joyo it only let's me review this original review of a totally different pedal.. Disappointed again I'm afraid. Super noisy. It's versatile and the tones you can get are awesome, I was able to reduce the mussy sound my Gibson les Paul was giving, pick up low tones and raise mids and highs to give it that appetite for destruction sound and was awesome but unfortunately the background noise was horrific. I used voodoo labs gear. Sound decimater 2 pedal,still noise, even with no OD or dist. Etc mega noisy.... Add the OD and Dist and was out of control so returned it. I couldn't get into this at all... The presets weren't impressive, amps didn't sound like what I'd expect for eg. the vox didn't sound like a vox to me, it also crackled terribly on clean and was very hard to keep its gain low even when turned low, any hardish strumming on clean gave a distorted sound to some degree and a crackle with it....major issue for me that... It's the ugliest 'clean* sound I've ever heard Distortion was loud and noisy. Mega buzzing. Horrible. It's cheap and really not good to me at all... I ended up just getting a universal Ruby pre Amp instead... Significantly more expensive but worth it for the size venues I'm playing with an audience between 2k people and 6k per show 4-5 days a week. I wouldn't even use this at home because it's so off putting I just didn't want to even bother playing because I knew it would sound bad and so I returned it. Also very annoying to bypass it you have to manually hold both buttons down at the same time which you can't do with your foot. So you're gona be on your knees lol. Dials are cheap nasty plastic too and it's flimsy and light, wouldn't expect it to last too long. I really wouldn't bother. Save up and get a good pre Amp that's renowned tried and tested, pre Amp is super important kit for you along with a good quality compressor. Boring pedals yeah but super important so you wanna spend your money on those things. Buying the newer MXR instead that's been designed to be quiet apparently

Unit i received is partially defective or jot fully engineered, but works decently, mainly the distortion settings sound off and requires the right setting to sound clean has different sound depending on what output is selected, the distortion button also dosnt work somtimes and have to push 2 or 3 times to switch and clean channel switches everytime, the sound dosnt hold a preset intuitively and have to wiggle each knob to reset and adjust everytime,
