- What's up gear nerds? Today on BCGR, we take a quick tour of the LY Rock preamp pedal. It is a clone of the KRS series, and shares similar features. How does it fair to your ear? Love it? Hate it? Let us know!
I bought one and immediately sold my revv g3. This ksr ceres clone sounds way better for my taste compared to the revv...
Thanks for your feedback, Jorge. I’m hoping to get my hands on an actual head and compare the two. I appreciate your comment. How are you running your pedal? Power amp? Through a head’s return?
@@bluecollargearreview trough a harley benton power amp paired with a 112 V30 cab and also via IR. Both sounds great.
@@jorgefernando9306 HB gear is so solid for the price point. Thanks for the input; more gear to research now! Thanks for the reply!
@@bluecollargearreview only return, otherwise if the preamp + preamp sounds bad in the input of the amplifier, or in the instrumental input of the card and vst cab
revv sounds good in an amp
Was in the market for a ceres for my fly rig. Took the gamble and went for one of these so time will tell 😉
You’ll be pleased on the gamble. Since this video, I have really enjoyed tweaking and dinging in deeper with this pedal.
Did your unit ever die on you? I bought one recently and now I’m worried because I’ve seen some people say their unit died on them
No, mine is still working flawlessly
@@bluecollargearreview do you think I should hang on to mine then?
@@finnancahill2644 totally up to you! If you need the cash or looking for something else, sure. I’d you’re happy, hang onto it.
@@finnancahill2644...umm.uh...duh.yes..why do you need somebody else to tell you to keep it or not.thats super weak.
@@bluecollargearreviewany update? How many hours did you use it or did you just use it for demoing purposes?
amazing bro!!! but, how you connect the pedal? in the Fx Loop our Input?
Using it as a preamp, you plug your guitar into the input of the pedal then the output goes into the return of the FX loop of an amp. This way, your using the amps power section and bypassing the preamp. Thanks for watching!
I don't even strictly need this, but it's so cheap, they practically pay me to buy them, so why not lol. I might order the guitar and bass preamp versions. I think it's kind of unclassy the way many of the foreign devs make unabashedly exact copies, but I guess I'm selfish, cos when I see how cheap a fake "Les Paul Custom" for $300 is, then after a set up it's 80% as good, then my greed outdoes my butthurt, lol. Thx for demoing, it was a useful reference. Lol, you kind of remind me of this one step uncle I see every Thanksgiving, ha haha. I mean that in a good way...but only in a "good" way, I don't mean.. like "THAT", or anything..😬🤣
I mean, for a fraction of the price and to try a product, why not?! Uncle Blue Collar thinks you for watching!
Does this clone feel like a real amp like Ola mentioned?
It really does. If you removed the idea of it being a clone, and just play it, it definitely feels and responds well depending on how your amp. This was through a tube head. I am getting a Duncan power stage soon to try as well. Thanks for watching.
can I use it with my Line Spider V 240 MKII?
As long as you have a send and return, yes. Connect it to the return input.
is it pre amp??
Hey Bryan. Yes. It’s a preamp pedal; three channels with a variety of modes. The more time I’ve spent, I see how it could make up a killer travel rig if you paired it with a power amp of sorts. Cheers!
@@bluecollargearreview one more thing how does the clean channel? is it good also?
It sounds surprisingly good. I am using it through the power section of a 5150 so it gets a little color from there, but it certainly has a useable clean channel.
already broken in two weeks. many such cases
Dang! What happened? I haven’t taken on this the road and don’t really intend to.
@@bluecollargearreview it just stopped to work. It lights on but the only sound is tru bypass mode . I am a poor bedroom guitarrist. I will never recover financially from this loss.
All parts are shaved to prevent repair.
@@bluecollargearreview i pinpoint two overheating in c30 and IC u2. 74c
@@lulapt2030 I don’t use this pedal often enough to make it fail, but maybe I should try and recreate it.
I've been using mine almost daily for about 2 years now and it still works fine.
Hey mate, I've heard so many big claims about how this thing sounds and (more importantly to me) feels like a tube amp. What are your thoughts on that?
Thanks for the comment. I’ve recently been messing with this unit more. Running through a power section of a tube amp, it’s really surprisingly good, and it ‘feels’ like a tube amp. It really will depend on how you run to chase that feel. Even for a clone, I think it does tend to hold its own if powered right.
@@bluecollargearreview thanks for the reply. Yeah I've just ordered one and will be running it through the power amp of a 6505 and orange dark terror so I expect it to sound and feel pretty good. Cheers
@@bluecollargearreview bro is it close to the ksr?
Funny you should ask! I am working on getting my hands on a KSR to do a direct A/B comparison. That video is coming soon.
@@bluecollargearreview oh ty dude
