I have the Cerberus and I guess this would work well with it. What I have on my board is a Quilter Superblock which works great with the Cerberus. It's either a preamp with DI, a full-blown amp driving a cab or both at the same time.
@taurushamilton2739 Жыл бұрын
@@RobCmusic Curious to know what the Cerberus sounded like FOH w the cab sim engaged? Never tried that as I thought the Cerberus was not a preamp as it were, but I guess w cab simulation, might as well be? I was thinking of putting AA at the end of my board after the Cerberus, so the Cerberus goes into AA and AA provides the amp simulation to FOH.

Really good demo man! Been eyeing this thing for a while now, it basically would be the perfect pedalboard amp for my needs, especially with the balanced D.I. out. Been a fan of NU-X stuff for a while now, I have an Ace of Tone (Tube Screaner / Bluesbreaker dual overdrive), first generation Mod Factory and an Ocean Machine (Delay / Reverb dual pedal with inbuilt three variations on both and even a nice shimmer on the plate reverb when pedal is held down) and I wouldn't trade them out, Ace of Tone and Ocean Machine have become real stables of my core sounds! Also, I believe you can run this straight to an amp's power section through effect loop return with I.R. off and it can function fine as a monitor while you run the D.I. out to mixing desk with I.R. on! The functionality of this is mad! You could even buy two for the price of a single 100W Katana and have a fully functioning wet/dry stereo rig.

Great demo. I think "modern" high gain might not be it's strong suit, but for everything else i'd take it. I already have the NUX NBP-5 for playing live on bass gigs that i have to go FOH, and it's pretty sturdy and good sounding. Even used it in the studio. Now, I also have to play guitar on some songs in the context of that band and I think this pedal might be the one for me. Even has an XLR compared to the Strymon Iridium, which seems like such a mistake on strymons part.

When you say you would have a compressor and other pedals before this and the mods trems verbs and tremolos before...that is the reason I never went with a Strymon Iridium...no loop and you get a distorted reverb and delay which sounds horrible.

These seem very similar to the Atomic Amplifire Firebox units from of a few years ago. Very similar IMO. After a very long time of playing exclusively with digital preamps? I just don't honestly gel with them, and the limitless options distract me more than help. I recently chose to make a dramatic commitment and investment with a Victory V4 preamp for direct recording. I still use digital for all post FX, power amp, and cab IR, but I wanted the closest thing to the front end of a "real" tube amp, but with all the capabilities of digital tracking, and all I had was a limited budget of $500. The V4 has done that for me in spades. Now my fuzz, wah, boost, and OD pedals react the way I remember and want them to, but I can now also use a midi foot controller for all my freaky chorus, delays, and reverb FX "in the box". Ulimately? I chose to give up a limitless amount of different "amps" for one committed core tone, and in doing that? I freed myself of endless searching and could focus more on post FX and mixing. Not saying that all digital is all bad, but for me? I needed a more WYSIWYG approach to get me back on track. I highly recommend any of the Victory V4 preamp pedals BTW. All tube analog and ZERO round trip latency up front is a glorious thing IMO Great demo as always Jon! Stay golden man.

How well does it work as a pedal in a live situation, as opposed to as a computer interface? Did you try making 3 vastly different preset "scenes" with different EFX, reverb, mod and delay settings and actually moving between them in a "live" situation by using the foot pedal to go between them? I ask because another review I saw claimed that all the inbuilt FX and mods are always the same settings across all 3 scenes, only difference being whether the effect is turned on or off. This seems like a near deal breaker to me if true.

You are an amazing player and love your reviews! I play live in a punk band and am happy with my live sound for which I always get compliments. However, I am always looking to improve my recorded tones. Currently I use various analogue pedals into a Two Notes Cab M+ but always think I could get better sounds on playback. Currently considering a Strymon Riverside as I've heard good things about the range of sounds and the approach is different to just buying another MIAB-type pedal. Also, very interested in this Amp Academy and wondering how it compares in your view to the MOOER Preamp X2? I'm not looking for a plethora of different sounds which is why I stay away from the HX Stomp and POD GO as I don't want option paralysis, but really a few great sounds that translate well to a recorded mix. Thanks, John.
