@Pughhead Год назад

Quite a few people actually, Bea's tone is quite fuzzy and boomy in the low end, not really suited for tight djent tones that the apex is aiming for.

@EWhite-95 6 лет назад

I loved the demo but (don't want to be this person) but I wish we could of heard it through an effect loop return rater being stacked on top of the EQ from the kraken or through a clean low gain amp to see how it would react. Otherwise I hope some of the riff you played in the demo are on Fire by the Silos!

@PariahVSGear 5 лет назад

I just checked it out next to a Ceres on my channel...as a lot of us expected, these folks used them into channels of amps and such because this thing needs A LOT of help to sound decent.

@billyhenley6968 4 года назад

Pretty cool little preamp but I must say that the Kraken V4 preamp crushes it in terms of note definition, clarity and saturation. I also realize it's not an apples for apples comparison.

@illyadass 6 лет назад

Correct me if im wrong but if you plug this into the return of your amp you could basically just use this as your amp. so wah compressor and overdrive infront of the Apex in the signal chain and then after you would have your chorus delay reverb etc, and then plug all that into the return of the amp you have. so you can have all these pedals but you wont have to plug the modulation and time effects into an effects loop because they are after the Apex in the signal chain. hope this makes sense.

I love how Rabbea just has 5150s, Marshalls, and Victorys just stacked up hanging out in the back and he's just casually using a Kemper as a table for this pedal. This is the level I wish to be at someday.

@RabeaMassaad 5 лет назад

Hahah, well, the 5150’s and Marshall I collected over the years way before RU-vid. In old bands etc, lending to mates and getting them back. But yeah the victory stuff and the kemper came much later. I’m genuinely thankful and lucky to have the gear, and wouldn’t dream of taking it for granted. Thanks for watching dude!

Hi Rabea, awesome review here! I want your opinion for best match (metal tone like Amon Amarth, Djent, Gojira, Pantera). Cabinet: Harley Benton G212 V30 #1: apex preamp + boss katana head #2: apex preamp + peavey 6505 MH #3: peavey invective MH #4: apex preamp + invective MH #5: apex preamp + Joyo zombie Thanks, Bert

@lateralus6216 4 года назад

Apex + invective MH would be the best sounding in my opinion, but the best sound for the price would probably be the apex + boss katana head. Good luck on your tone journey my friend :)

@lottshouse4 3 года назад

This pedal is great if you feel like paying for $120 more for an already existing pedal with just adding cab sim which doesn’t really feel or sound worth it honestly for being $320 the MXR 5150 pedal is literally the same thing played side by side they sound the same and there is a $120 price difference for $80 more you can get the KSR Ceres which not only sounds better for djenty tones but has 3 channels instead of basically 1 with a boost option

Great box. The cab sim add on would be interesting to also try as a re amp box to grot up strings synths bland samples maybe even filthy snares and dirty kicks. Dig that the gate almost goes square closing. To my ears the gain was more appealing at lower settings where the even odd harmonics got through..cool vid

He didn't demo it in the return loop because that will make the Horizon sound just like an overdrive, not even a high distortion gain Pre Amp.

@ArunKamathMusic 6 лет назад

Sounds great! I'd be interested to know what it's like going into the FX return of an amp, or into one of the modern solid state power amps like the SD Powerstage. Wonder if the pedal reacts very differently that way as opposed to in front of an amplifiers already existing preamp section - as Ola proved in one of his recent vids.

@NutsTesticles 6 лет назад

They sound really good in an FX loop. Well, the 5150 OD does, and this is essentially the same thing so im assuming this sounds similar.

@adriandeftones 6 лет назад

I hate they call it a preamp and the best I have seen using it is like a distorsion pedal or a boost, so I think it is not really a preamp, i find its sound and enclosure like a mod of the MXR 5150 overdrive which misha used as a preamp and as a travel rig

@luigi1mario 6 лет назад

@PariahVSGear 5 лет назад

Just did a video of this side by side with a ksr Ceres and man. Rabea made it work..but please do yourself a favor and check out other options outside this. Using it by itself, it's one of the worst standalone preamps I've ever used. The way it's being used here, you could get similar results with a bunch of distortion or even overdrive pedals.

@sonicx2218 6 лет назад

My current bare bones OD sound is just the precision into an EVH 5150 pedal. Would this replace the EVH or would it go in the chain before it?

@junomartini-zeller614 6 лет назад

It would probably go before the EVH in your chain, since this would function as the "amp" that you're plugging into. You could have both and just get ALL THE GAIN... or you could use this alone and get the sound of a pretty tight amp.

@TylerStewardTV 6 лет назад

Many people would say that the Apex is basically the 5150 on steroids, so I would say it would replace it. However they both have different sounds. They're both pretty much amps in a box after all. worth having both if you're into the 5150's sound.

@call2arms 6 лет назад

It would replace both the EVH and Precision Drive. Misha intended it to be its own thing and an all in one solution for tight modern metal tone. He says is you stack the PD on top of it, it’ll give you an over the top tight tone.

@KRayxKodessA 6 лет назад

But it's supposed to work very well WITH the Precision drive as well. Having this and the EVH in a chain would be redundant, as they're both preamp pedals...unless that's what you're going for, of course.

@mehtabbhogal5591 6 лет назад

You would want to replace the 5150 with the Apex or keep the 5150 as a "second channel" if that makes sense. I would recommend doing: Precision Drive ---> Apex ---> 5150

@derekcarter4952 4 года назад

With the preamp, are you using it when the amp is on clean? Or do you have it mixed with the distortion of the amp as well.
