I love my Helix.But I've been wanting to play with my amp again sometimes. This seems a quick option. Your playing is as heavenly as always.Well Done !

Hola!!✌️❤️

[@RafaelStCruz]

@@JonIsJustTooLoud Sorry about my English. The better way to use The Cerberus, maybe are using some preamp in the chain?

[@renaldojaramillogaviria535]

I love this unit, you´re right Jonathan, this unit shines with a real amp and maybe other stompboxes like a comp or a wah pedal depend on the taste of the person, nux called this unit as a "Integrated Effects", so that is the idea it is a versatile unit.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Yes it is✌️❤️

[@andrewawakened628]

Wow...$299 sounds incredibly reasonable for an all-in-one stompbox with all those connections plus the ability to route effects...PLUS you can load in IR's???!!! Wow!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Yes...but there are pros and cons...watch the video especially the summary Andrew ✌❤

[@MikeSuttonXerox]

Love this dude...just cool as a cucumber and what a great player..

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Thank you Mike... this dude thanks you✌️❤️

[@playersonn5136]

i like the ability to load custom cab IRs and on the fly series and parallel routing for delay/reverb. you can also use different cab IRs per patch

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Yes.. it can .. I just wish they include an amp simulator in the unit too✌️❤️

[@tomdameek]

Wow ! That vega trem is amazing it’s great to see the extra confidence you have in it. I like the layout of the Cerberus. The tones for the price sound great to me. The CE chorus in particular sounded great. At one stage it sounded like “is this love” by Whitesnake. This really is a fascinating golden age of gear isn’t it. Thanks for quite a comprehensive and interesting review Jon 😀👍👍

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

My pleasure Tom...a fun review to do!✌❤

Great little device. Last year i bought a little portable rig containing this, a small 1 Channel Laney Cub12 and a Epiphone ES 339. All at once, brand new. My bandmates i play with for 25 + yrs. say i never sounded that good. With JCMs, Boogies, Hughes & Kettners and all kinds of guitars gone by. Can hardly go wrong with that thing.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

exactly! I just thought this is something that will work really great with a great amp!!✌❤

Hi Jon, Thanks for sharing this video, it was really helpfull when selecting my pedalboard. I bought a used Nux Cerberus and I use it as a standalone directly do the Mixing table for small gigs using the cab simulator and it has a great sound. Very organic and realistic. Looking forward to buy some valves and transformer for my dead Peavey Delta Blues 115 to try this baby as a stompbox using the 4CM

Excellent review, I only wish you would show the power cable and wall wort . None of the demo-ists show the power which I am guessing is a flimsy skinny wire attached to a large obnoxious wall-wort. right?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

watch the video thoroughly, I did mentioned that the power supple is not included. I used my existing 9v power supply

[@MarshallAmpMan]

@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thanks you' are correct so, I posted my question too soon. Apologies.

[@CamposCaster]

hello, can i put some of my favorite pedals inside the chain? I don't mean guit..ts9,,,chorus, and then enter the Cerberus. I mean to insert them and also that they appear when I use the preset mode. the rear panel shows something like this for distortions and also aside, for delays and modulations. Is that some kind of send/return for pedals (plus a loop for amp in and out?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

No you can't..there 's no effects send and return on the unit.

[@sasavid]

Greeting! Is it possible to make the same sound for example: distortion (with very little drive) delay, reverb on one switch, and on the other switch the same sound (so the same distortion), but with many more drives? Thank you 🙂

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Not possible✌❤

[@ottolofstrom3896]

Can you use this without an effects loop?

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Yes it’s possible

[@davideskelin8266]

I could probably eliminate a few pedals with this and maybe simplify things. I split off into a Fender tube amp and a Boss programmable amp, takes some tweaking, but really cool sound I can't get from one amp.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Yep David... nifty great to have ✌️❤️

[@raymondtong2640]

Hey you are one of my fav reviewers/players thx. A question if I may. I have an old RP355. I am moving towards Amp in a box for core tone and pedal based drives. I have a Petty John Gold which will act as a amp in this context. I don’t gig and will only play through my mixer and monitors. Missing in the chain are modulation effects, good IR Can sim, and a good looper. I am using my old RP355 to bridge these gaps but I don’t I am getting the best out of my pedals without an IR? Between this one and newer MG300 which you also reviewed which one will get better sounds out of my setup? If MG300 IR and sound quality is of same level as Cerberus, it saves me from having to buy a looper pedal separately. But I am not sure if MG 300 can take pedals well without clipping. I even have a TC tube driver pedal which I like to use. Thx.

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Hey Raymond!! Just wait for the NUX MG30! It will help you lots!! Est time of release.. later Feb/ March ✌️❤️

[@raymondtong2640]

Jonathan Koh thx. Checked out MG30 spec. That’s next level really a better choice for the long term.

@@raymondtong2640 yep!

[@craigpons7153]

Hi John great review as always , I'm interested in getting this pedal to go with my VHT D-50 amplifier which is a affordable dumble clone, but my question is does it give a very good clean tone without gain or will it affect the clean tone of that amp , it's getting a very good clean tone right now using it with a 10 band joyo eq pedal and I'm concerned that weather this pedal might affect that by introducing it in thorough the front of the amp , I would of course use the modulation effects through the effects loop but primarily I'd like to keep the tone as clean as possible unless using the overdrive or distortion

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

Cool ✌️❤️

[@craigpons7153]

So you don't think this effects pedals clean tone would add gain to my tone if I add it to my pedal chain ?

[@GreekRocker00]

Hey there Jonathan! Did you have any noise issues using the Cerberus? The amount of noise that it produces is equal to a common pedalboard? Thank you very much!!

[@JonIsJustTooLoud]

No I didnt...yes about the same as any clean pedal board...✌🤓

[@antoniomuniz2071]

@@JonIsJustTooLoud I have one of these units and your review convinced me that I made a wise purchase.✌

[@mattgilbert7347]

1) The overdrives are voiced too dark 2) Mods like Phaser and Univibe sound way better pre-gain 2) The MIDI is useless 4) No external tap? 5) It needs a preamp in the loop to sound decent 6) Everything sounds like the 80s when using this unit (and not the Indie 80s, I mean stuff like commercial radio soft-rock 80s) and it's hard to dial out. Using own drives/distortion/fuzz recommended. A comp (as mentioned in the video) or wah makes for some good tones. 7) Preset mode disables tap tempo 8) The Ctrl ALWAYS defaults to reverb Props to Jonathan for the Laney VC30 in the background. Had one forever, only been serviced once. Total workhorse, sounds good, takes every pedal known to man or woman.
