Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Joyo R-24 Rigel is a surprisingly capable little preamp. It nails that classic British amp vibe, particularly a Plexi, and the 'Feel' switch gives you some flexibility in the gain character. It's a great budget-friendly option for players chasing a high-gain sound without a full stack.

Frequently Asked Questions
The 'Feel' switch subtly alters the preamp's gain structure, offering a smoother, more compressed tone versus a tighter, more aggressive response.
Absolutely! The R-24 is designed as a preamp; use it *before* your other gain pedals to thicken and saturate their sound.
Yes, the loop allows you to insert effects like reverb or delay *after* the preamp's gain stage, keeping them separate from the core distortion.
