NUX Cerberus. The best affordable multi effects unit I've ever played. ASTONISHINGLY GOOD!!! 

Hey Paulo. Thx for the comment man. It’s all about the last line you said. It’s ONLY about music. Consumerism is taking over music he same way it has taken over everything else.

If you use the same device, put in very minute variation and produce two sound clips. And then ask people which one is better. If you tell people A is a 1000 dollars device, and B costs only 100 dollars. Most of them will say A is slightly better. If you don't tell anything, the choice will be very random. It won't be much different if the two sound clips are from two device, one expensive and one cheap, as long as you tweak both to the best to your liking.

Agreed. It's the guitarist :). Best Regards/Wishes!

Hey Mark. Thx again for the comment. It’s the practicality of this unit that makes it stand out for me actually especially with the software update. Really is very impressive. Especially for the money.

Cheers Dee. Appreciate the comment

Hey Rick. Thx for the comment mate. Right now my band’s violin player is using it and it fulfills that role fantastically well too. A really great unit. And thx from Kildare in Ireland!

I can totally see how this could do Floyd!!!

Hey. Thx for the comment. Never actually tried an ME80 heard good things though.

Hey Jimmy. Thx for the comment. It really is a great piece of kit. Very very impressive

Hey. Thx for the comment. Yeah I’m discovering great new stuff with it all The time.

Hey Gavan. Thx for the comment. I actually had the flu rig V1 Too. Really great piece of kit. This is a different thing really you can do a lot more with it. I will say though it doesn’t have the preamp the way the fly rig does I just put the Joyo American sound in the loop and it works great.

@@TheGuitarEffect sweet tip. The pedal addiction is strong. 🎸❤️

Wow! What a really lovely message. Thanks so much. So I would have to say that ultimately I’m a songwriter first and a guitarist second. I think that’s why I don’t really rate my guitar skills. As far as I’m concerned it’s just a tool to help me write and perform songs. Unless I’m laying covers to earn money but even then I’m not really trying to play blistering solos as much as trying to entertain people and make them feel joy through music. An IR is a digital capture of the sound of a cabinet. There is a part of the software for the Cerberus where you can load IR files to be able to play without an amp. So the IR replaces the speaker and the American sound replaces the amp. Can I ask that you check out my band? youtube.com/@kampalaband?si=87BAPrmI3P10L1xS

@@TheGuitarEffect Composing is the best, I praise your taste, sharing with people is also very important to position yourself. You don't have to ask me to see your band, I've already done it and I'm going to continue doing it, it would be great if you included texts with the lyrics of the songs in any of the videos. Thank you for your patience with my ignorance, now I am also completely clear about the IR and the reason for the use of the American Sound pedal. It was a little naïve of me to ask you if you also used them in the acoustic. I suppose that in addition to the modulation effects in that case the Cerberus own preamp is used and nothing else because we need a sound that is as clean as possible, TRUE? You have completely convinced me with this pedal, I don't see anything on the market that offers so much for less, although I would ask your opinion about the Rumble Seat pedal, I have only heard it through videos but it really sounds like the American and English sound of the "60" in its best version. Of course it is much more limited in terms of options.

Hey Emilio. I’ve never heard of analog alien or the Rumble Seat. Can’t help you there sorry.

Hey man. Thx for the comment. So yes this would be a great solution to pair with the Marshall. Also because the preamp of the Marshall is in the loop of the Cerberus if you add a Marshall 412 in the IR loader you could go direct to a desk or recording interface and jut use the amp for monitoring onstage. However if you wanted to spend a bit more money and get a boss MS3 you could have the same setup and also add in your drivemaster and another pedal and bring them in and out on the MS3. And you could also control the footswitch functions on the amp.

Hey. Thx for the comment. So yeah the Cerberus has speaker simulation which means you can use it direct like you did your pedalboard. Though I think it’s more meant to be used with an amp and I think it sounds better with an amp. It’s very impressive though. A really pro feeling and sounding pice of gear. I researched the trident about a week ago. While it has the construction of the Cerberus it’s all digital and spirant have the analog drive section which is a bit disappointing. Still though. I’ll hopefully be able to try it out.

@@TheGuitarEffect Hmm..no analog drive? Ugh. Thanks for update!

Hey arts and life. Thx for the comment I appreciate it. Equally I’m always happy to speak to another Irish person in here. Happening a bit lately actually which is great.

Cheers Garrett.

Hey. Thx for the comment! The Cerberus will cover that need really well. One thing to note is the Cerberus has some of the firmest footswitches I’ve ever come across. Might not be the easiest in a gig situation with your fingers. I love Dean DeLeo. He’s an unbelievable songwriter and has an instantly recognizable style.

@@TheGuitarEffect Hi again (same guy - different account!), and thanks for your reply! I received it yesterday and I couldn't be happier with it. It's every bit as good as I hoped for. You certainly weren't joking about the firm footswitches! It's fine though. I spent this evening recording a little "demo" video in case there are other steel players who would be looking for something like this. So if you're interested, you can find it on this account. Thanks again!

Thx again for the reply. I do t know anything about lap steel but I’ll check it out.

Hey man.Thx for the comment. I made a video about just that! No MIDI between them which would be great but take a look and see what you think: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P_Tq4uYSews.html

Thx Luke. It just think stuff that sounds good and works well is what we all need. And this does both. I w just done 3 videos of the Tident the follow up to the Cerberus. It’s fantastic too. I’m really liking what these guys are doing.

Yeah it really is extremely good for the money. Thx for the comment. 👍

Hey Deadzid. I can’t see any way to turn it on or off. Or even include or omit it from a preset. Which is unfortunate but again it’s one blip on its record and it’s so great and affordable I reckon it’s forgivable!

@@TheGuitarEffect alright thanx for the input... well i guess I could throw in a noise gate or eq pedal and just leave it always on 😄

Hey Louis. Ironically I’m currently in Rome and visited the colosseum yesterday. But yeah I get the Russel Crowe Thing all the time! And yes NUX are the best pedal manufacturer from the Far East for me right now. Very progressive thinkers.

@@TheGuitarEffect Yeah I also visited the coliseum 2 months ago, what a wonderful place. Your videos are very informative. Keep up the good work and glad you did not mind the humour. Cheers!!

Hey Louis. Absolutely not. I’ll quite happily be told I look like Russel Crowe!

"Are you not entertained!"

Hey. Thx for the comment! And you are welcome. New video on the Cerberus coming this week.

Hey. Thx for the comment! Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s the Atlantic alright. Which really makes this great value for money.

Yeah it’s very highly featured.

Hey Francisco. Thx for the comment. I’m not surprised people are still talking about it. Actually on that note the idea that the newest gear is the best gear is not something I subscribe to at all. It just drives views on RU-vid channels and obviously brands want to get their newest stuff out there. But for example I was looking for one of these and could get one for 5 weeks and there is nothing out that’s new that can do what it does. New gear is not always the best IMO. It’s the analog drives, the IR capabilities, the no menus thing, the excellent delay and reverb and the switching capabilities that makes this a no brainer for the money. Unreal.

Yes it can. I actually demonstrated that in the video about 3/4 the way thorough.

@@TheGuitarEffect sorry i just skip thru some parts , im quick checking vid while cleaning up things in our small café. Yeah got it around 22:00 Thank you very much

No probs at all mate. It’s a very long video.

Hey Bobby thx for the comment. I as disappointed to see the Trident didn’t have the analog drive section the Cerberus has but on reflection digital drive has come on a long way.

Looking forward to trying it too.

Hey Padawan. Hope all is well. I only used the line6 allure pack deluxe 112 IR because I know it. There’s nothing wrong with the on board IRs. However worth noting the allure IR pack is free from the Line6 website

@@TheGuitarEffect great thanks Rob

​@TheGuitarEffect I pulled the trigger on this, got one from adverts that's due tomorrow. Looking forward to it

Hey. Thx for the comment. No IR in use I’m playing through the Cerberus into the clean channel of my Koch studiotone 20 head and using the emulated output (analog) for cab sim

Hey. Thx for the comment. Really glad you found the video helpful. So in all honestly I’m a completely average guitar player so I don’t think my playing is especially painting the Cerberus in an extra good light. It’s just a brilliant unit in its own right. The other video uses the American sound as a preamp in the effects loop of the Cerberus combined with ten onboard IR loader for going ampless. So that’s why I made that video. You can achieve very similar results to using an amp. In relation to your third point. Whether or not this is enough by it’s self depends entirely on what your requirements are. For example I play in 2 bands. A wedding band where I’m the guitar player mostly and occasionally sing and an original band where I’m the sole guitar player and singer. For the wedding band this is perfectly adequate as I only need a few presets and basic sounds. But for the originals band I need 4 presets per song, (so I need to be able to name the presets) I need MIDI to control an external loop pedal, I need rotary, octave, fuzz, whammy and more immersive reverbs than the ones on offer on the Cerberus so I couldn’t even think about using it for that

@@TheGuitarEffect It's really unusual and very kind of you to pass me all this information, I guess then that when you play with your band you use several pedals, on a pedalboard, that are capable of fulfilling all these requirements. I appreciate your humility, but I still think you're a very good guitar player. If you allow me one last question, do you think that the modulation part of the Cerberus would also serve to supply fx to a high level acoustic guitar?

Hey. So for live shows with my band I use this pedalboard. It’s way more complex and expensive but it’s absolutely amazing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G98NQQ12_l0.html

I’ve used the Cerberus for an acoustic solo gig for delay, reverb, tremolo, and a boost before and it was outstanding.

Thanks for clarifying it for me, in that situation did you also need the American Sound pedal and the IRs, or not?

Hey. Thx for the comment Mark! You are indeed correct that’s exactly what they are based on and pretty unashamedly so! I must admit the overdrive and distortion behave very differently depending on which amplifier you are using which I always find to be a sign of a good gain pedal. They are both a little dark though.

Hey Toneranger. How’s it going. So I think Maybe I was changing a preset with mod on to one with distortion on. Just to be clear you do not have to turn off the mod to turn the distortion on. The Cerberus is very impressive. I had the flyrig. It was great but too limited for me.

There’s a lot about the Cerberus that’s not obvious mate. Thx for the comment!

There’s this thing called RU-vid where you can go and get exact details about how the unit works. Oh yes and the internet has this thing called google, go there and u can find a manual for the unit as well… just a thought 🧐🤣

Hey. Thx for the comment. So I’ve thought a lot about what you’ve said, I get one people like guitar effects to have a pleasing aesthetic, it’s particularly prevalent in more recent years but personally I just don’t get it. If it sounds good and works well I think that it’s kind of immaterial what it looks like. But again that’s just my own opinion

No. Not really

Hey. I have a bass bit only really ever use it for songwriting so the effects are always added in the DAW. One thing I do know is the bassists I play with always use drive pedals that have a clean blend to preserve low end and this doesn’t have that as far as I’m Aware of

@@TheGuitarEffect yeah, I did a bit more digging, and I just need to switch off my pedal impulse and deal with the fact that it's not gonna work for me 😂

Yeah I wise decision I reckon.

Hey Z Mahmood. Thx for the comment. Unfortunately I’ve never played an ME80 so I couldn’t answer taht. One thing is I’m pretty sure the ME80 has amp simulation which this doesn’t but simultaneously the OD and Distortion on the Cerberus is analog which at this kind of price point is likely to be a good thing.

@@TheGuitarEffect thanks for the info

No sweat. Hope it hells

Hey Sk 1979. I did mention I had to have the tone up on the overdrive quite far. But I did find this solved the problem.

Check YT clip about the secret EQ option

Hey. Thx for the comment. The Trident is in stereo and it’s pretty good. Different but good.

Hey man. It’s really really good. I’m Seriously impressed.

Sorry was signed into YT on the band acc

@@TheGuitarEffect we've all been there 😂😂 it'll make the algorithm think 3 people are talking rather than 2 anyway, so win win 😉👍

Happy days!

Hmm. Cool name. But let’s face it people are very much gonna want: everything and the fuzz!!!

@@TheGuitarEffect Yup. I would be all about this product if it had a fuzz.

Thanks for your comment Rudger. I’ll check out that demo.

Hey meng. Thx for the comment. I’m not an authority on IR’s but I’m using the line 6 allure pack deluxe 112 IR with it. But more importantly you’ll need a preamp pedal in the loop for sure.

@@TheGuitarEffect Can you share me or buy you with you? I want to try

Hey meng you can download them for free here: line6.com/allure/

They are a particular type of very stiff switch and are noisy alright. Doesn’t bother me though.
