First Impressions - Joyo Preamp House, Atmosphere & Meteor II

[@bluessumlin...7067]

Played through bantamp for about 2 years great value amps… l agree with others below the Preamp house is the winner!🙂👍

[@robertmenzies3032]

Really like the preamp house could really see how well this would work both for practicing at home but also getting some great tones on a larger setting. Also love the simplicity of a clean and dirty channel per amp sim rather then just an various amount of presets.

[@robertclarkguitar]

Preamp house is awesome.

[@Brutuscomedy]

Brutus likes those black and gold boxes! I think the pedals would sound better with tubes in the chain somehow. Didn't Atomic amps make (perhaps still does) a tube power amp cab? I bet that would warm things up nicely, for instance.

[@asbestosnest7405]

I love this channel, I lost it at “orange flavored amp”!

[@richarddlewis5422]

How does the Joyo Atmosphere sound on an acoustic guitar? Can it be compared to Strymon in quality of sound?

[@stoneysdead689]

I think for each amp A is the clean channel, B is the dirt channel- and the gain on A is for light breakup tones? Maybe?

[@TSFAHTPS]

Yeah you have the 9 amps and each amp has a clean and dirty channel - and you can save any of the clean amps to be preset A and any of the dirty amps to be preset B

[@brendanflaherty6696]

Which amp is the “B” factory preset on the Preamp House? It’s glorious! I might buy the damn thing for that sound alone. I like the ability to assign the cab sim to specific outputs. Clever

[@serginhosena]

Bogner maybe? An Uberschall probably.

[@TSFAHTPS]

I think it sounds like the FM BE100 model...which is the Friedman BE 100... it's a really good sound!

[@serginhosena]

@@TSFAHTPS oh yes, i fogot the BE! 😋

[@URTH-yb5xh]

Joyo stuff very nice

[@StratsRUs]

There aren't many preamp pedals priced like this. I have to decide on whether the Iridium is worth the full whack to be always happy with the fatness of tone being incompromised.

[@Jestersage]

So is Preamp House digital or analog (or hybrid, eg using analog for the most part except using digital IR)?

[@stoneysdead689]

Man, I want to play with this stuff so badly but- first I have to buy the gear that goes with it and makes it work- a cab, some FRFR speakers, something like that- some way to hear it. Right now, all I have is some headphones- they are good headphones though- Sennheiser studio grade- they have a model number, but I forgot it many moons ago. This morning the girl at the pharmacy asked me how old I was- I honestly couldn't remember. I knew I was either 49 or 50 but- had to literally do the math to figure out which. So- I decided today, no more birthdays- I'm staying 50. "So scared of getting older, only good at being young- so I play the number game and find a way to say, life has just begun." - I don't know if John wrote these words or not, but I certainly get what they mean.

[@TSFAHTPS]

Haha...yeah that happens...I'm not too far behind you...but in the end its just a number!!

[@OmegaPhoenix42]

I recently got the joyo pre-amp house but I'm having a lot of trouble with the cab sim sounding ridiculously dark, like unusablely bassy and muffled no matter what I do with the EQ. I'm running it at the end of my board into a scarlett 2i2 -> pesonus E3.5 studio monitors. If I turn the cab sim off then the guitar is present sounding and not muffled (but obviously unnaturally fizzy without any cab simulation). Any ideas what could be the reason? A conflict between the cab simulation and the studio monitors? I've no idea where to start to troubleshoot this.

[@paolo-1283]

I got this pedal too and the way i brighten it up is by adding a separate cab sim pedal at the end of the chain, i'm using the sonicake ir: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5qXn2x-fN-Hf5Y to pair with joyo and sounds amazing.

[@BeesWaxMinder]

Preamp House looks promising but it IS pricey (for me at least!)… ‘have to say there’s a big move away, it seems, from digital modelling such as KEMPER etc, these days, folks seem to be going back to more “sans amp“ territory/technology

[@TSFAHTPS]

I always liked the SansAmp stuff. I had one of their first FlyRigs as a 'backup' for when the backline amps were crap - which happened often...so I used to use it a LOT and it always sounded really good to me

[@BeesWaxMinder]

@@TSFAHTPS Those times are coming back I reckon…!

[@claudevieaul1465]

The Preamp House is somewhere in between - it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a Kemper, like hundreds of effects and IR's, but it definitely has a better cab sim than I've ever heard from a SansAmp, and a really useful choice of amp models too... I'm using one to record at home, and it does work really well!
