JOYOReverb Pedal 9 Digital Reverb Types with Modulation and Trail Function for Electric Guitar Effect (Atmosphere R-14)

In the mid-2010's, I purchased a bunch of cheap Joyo drive pedals - sort of a gateway drug into later buying more expensive and higher-quality gear. I sold most of them later on, but the Baatsin is a uniquely high-value opportunity to get 8 of those circuits in a single pedal for around $50.And it sounds really good...for the most part. To me, the Joyo "clones" were never really that close to the original source material, other than maybe the Tubescreamer. What I appreciated about the Joyo pedals is that a lot of them did EXTREME things that the name-brand version would do. So it's best to think of the Baatsin as a collection of 8 different soft- and hard-clipping drive circuits that are actually quite different from one another and cover a ton of sonic territory.For reference, I'll give a very brief impression of the different mods (from actual use, not comparison to what they claim to be "cloning"):T. OD - If it's a "Timmy", the EQ is kind of broken. It's a very warm, rounded, soft-clipping low/medium gain overdrive with good output, but it's tough to open up the high end.SWEETY - I believe this was the Joyo Sweet Baby. Much brighter, and not very compressed. More gain/saturation on tap than I remembered.B. BOOST - A lot of people assumed this was an Xotic BB Preamp clone, but it's actually a very thick clean boost. Excellent with single coils.T.808 - A Tubescreamer circuit, similar to the Vintage Overdrive. Smooth upper end with a mid-range focus, used best to boost your signal while adding a little bit of gain/sustain.OVERDRIVE - I believe this was supposed to be a BOSS OD-1 or SD-1. I'm not fan of this one, as it has low output and absolutely no low end, but I could see it being okay with a darker setup.CRUNCHY - Based off a MI Audio Crunch Box, but tons of output. It's like British/Marshall type of distortion with medium gain and it cuts through nicely.RIOTER - Based off the Suhr Riot (I had the U.S. Dream briefly, but hated the enclosure of that run of Joyo pedals). Compared to the CRUNCHY setting, it has more gain and low-end presence.O.C. DRIVE - Joyo basically comes out and says this is the Ultimate Drive, which was their Fulltone OCD clone that sort of put Joyo on the map a decade ago. It does sound bad, but it has so much low end you can't dial out that its tough to use effectively. But it makes cheap/weak amps sound big, which I think was a lot of the original appeal.In terms of the pedal itself, it looks huge in pictures, but it's actually only slightly bigger than a BOSS compact pedal oriented sideways. The knobs actually had firm resistance to them, though some of the text on the selector knob did not line up exactly with the settings. The foot switch is the hard click kind - it's just okay, but probably isn't made to last 20 years. In addition to the indicator light, there is a dim LED orange glow around the frame of the pedal. It's kind of cool, but also largely pointless. There's a switch on the back to link that to the bypass switch or have it on all the time, I think.Even though it's a cheap, there's a ton of value here, and it's worth a look - especially if it goes on sale. I might even throw the Baatsin on my board for a bit, just because it can cover so many different tasks, and I only have room for one drive pedal.

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!

No buzz!! I already recommended this unit to a fellow musician. My other distortion pedals all had a buzz but this thing is superb (and cost less than my others). Would highly recommend it for lead guitar players and/or other players. thanks!!

cumpre o que promete

Es un pedal que tiene lo que promete, por el precio es una buena opción para iniciarse en el uso del looper. Una herramienta para probar arreglos sobre progresiones de acordes o para practicar sin metrónomo usando los sonidos de batería. Al inicio es difícil acoplarse a grabar usando la batería porque se siente un retraso pero necesito pasar más tiempo con el pedal para dar una opinión definitiva sobre el modo looper+drums. Pero por separado drums y looper van genial. Las luces led son un detalle extra, pueden parpadear a la velocidad de la batería, estar siempre prendidas o estar apagadas. En general tiene una buena relación calidad-precio permite hasta 40 minutos de grabación en capas, 7 estilos de batería distintos (género).Cosas mejorables: el control de volumen de la batería va desde el inicio muy alto y de ahí hacia arriba, hay que tenerlo muy cerca del cero para un volumen moderado.No tiene opción de usarse con batería de 9v y no incluye cable de alimentación.Para algunas personas las opciones de drums pueden ser limitadas (no hay muchas opciones de compases) pero hay que tener en cuenta el accesible precio.

Für den Preis ein tolles Pedal! Zum Teil unterscheiden sich die Sounds jedoch nicht allzu sehr. Die Lautstärkeunterschiede zwischen den Modi sind teils massiv. Am meisten stört mich, dass mit zunehmendem Gain die Höhen immer greller werden - auch mit dem Tone-Regler ist das nicht auszugleichen. Mit Amp-Treble auf 1 funktioniert es dann aber super. Trotzdem: 4 Overdrives (T.OD, T-808, Overdrive 1 und O.CD) sowie 1 Distortion (heißt hier Crunch) gefallen mir. So ist das Baatsin insgesamt sein Geld wert. Die bessere Wahl und auch von Joyo ist meines Geschmacks nach das R-05 Maximum. Für Leute mit einem bereits gut ausgestattem Pedalboard gibt's hier aber nichts Neues zu entdecken.

Good quality and I like the blue light background.
