Thank You, I can’t believe Mr Brown changed the tight metal pro to look like a 50 dollar Amazon pedal! These are the best lol! Great Demo!

Second time watching this, just noticed that the settings on the Empress Heavy are pretty low. I thought it sounded too weak on this video compared to when I use it or on Ola’s video. The gain on the Ceres is all the way up and on the Empress the gain, output and weight are too low. The weight gives it a thicker sound in my opinion.

KSR wins

KRS, Tight metal, empress, chug

Chug and Ceres are the best, but I still prefer the new chug pedal. Ola Englund did an amazing job, I'll get one for my pedalboard for sure 🤘

Now this is a proper comparision video.

You do stuff, that we love, thx, man!

I noticed you didn’t use the other channel on the Empress. I have the Heavy and prefer the other channel because it’s tighter and much clearer for modern metal.

Ceres and TightMetalPro wins… FLAWLESS VICTORY

The Ceres seemed the best to me

I feel like the Tight Metal would have kept up better with the included boost on. Ceres doesn't need a boost to be tight. I still own the Ceres and a TMP, sold my Empress Heavy though as I felt it didn't work as well as a preamp. There was something weird in the mids I could never dial out, sounds good hear though.

I actually had three of those: Ceres, Heavy and Chug, all awesome. Ceres is closest to amp like preamp, the heavy is probably the best metal distortion ever made when used into a good clean amp. Chug is cool and all but its not comparable in feel to the ceres as a preamp. Does what it says well - it chugs consistently anywhere you plug it (amp, direct, power in). Ceres and Kraken v4 were my favorites, the ceres has more features and more compact but I ended up going back for the kraken for my go to pedalboard. it's big and heavy but for me for plugging into power amp is the best. Out of those four I'd go for Ceres as a preamp and Heavy as a distortion.

I’ve used Amptweaker tight metal and tight metal pro for years. Bought the new pro 2 version and didn’t realize that James brown sold Amptweaker to another guy. Nothing beats the quality of the original tight metal pro.

Another great video from our brazilian brow !!! Valeu Silas

Yes! Here we are once again, to...

Silas brother how goes it my friend? Glad I caught this video 📹 🎶😈🤘

This video sold me on the Empress man, I appreciate the work you do.

Always mesmerized by Ceres

Nice chugging bro. I like the Ceres!

Great!

this pedals are insane dude!

Great comparison demo I'm Ceres user, love it because tube amp like, but Chug... I'm curious when compared with Airis effect nemesis preamp

Any pedal with the gain at full and a expensive platform is going to sound amazing, so is difficult to make a conscience judgment with this video.

Hey, post that in the main channel, good chugs are always welcome!

HEAVY & KSR...my faves!!!!

Great vid man. How do u set up your internal switches in tight metal pro?

Dude, I've been looking for Ceres comparison for so damn long and youtube search wasn't showing your video because of the "Cerers" typo.

This is some chugging shit SIlas at 61 yrs young I appreciate this man 😆 this was a sickness u had here 😂 thank u brother 🙏

Silas, How the Chug compares to a Revv G3 or G4?

I use my EQ200 with my Empress Heavy. The chug wouldn’t need that and like the Empress Heavy it has a built in noise gate but it’s even better. If only it was released before I bought the Empress. 😢 This is a great video man, keep creating them.

KSR and the CHUG were my favorites.

KSR Ceres

10/10 demo

Do The Revv Northern Mauler

our sensational

So I was watching berried alive solo clip and he had a bandana on his headstock to mute the strings that are connected to the headstock and I was like does that make a difference? And now I come hear and I can hear it I'm forever ruined

My Metal Zone gives similar chugs but has fewer knobs.

I have a chugg pedal and I want to love it but it’s kinda needy and difficult to get it to do what you want. I’m scared I bought another metal zone. How do you have yours set up for the video

Riffs sound like a loud factory ... in a good way ... great demo

Very cool these pedals, I like these videos comparing them!!!! #BestKZfaqChannelROF #RigOnFire

Liked them all Its between the Ceres and the Amp Tweaker for me. The Chug was good but too cold for my tastes. I loved the Empress but it was a little dark. but I am certain the Empress could be dialled slightly brighter and it get closer to the other 3 for cut Ceres was rich in mid range , not sure if this is a Gain structure thing or a mids EQ thing, but there was something in the mid range that really makes that pedal stand out. It also had a nice low end warm yet tight, and really articulate high end The Amp Tweaker almost has a similar thing, has the richness but maybe a bit lower in the Freq spectrum, seemed to be the perfect mix of the other 2, the cut and tightness of the Chug, but the Fatness of the Empress. If you put a gun to my head I would probably chose the Ceres, with the Amptweaker a good close 2nd, felt the Ceres just had that extra layer of quality to its tone, sounds , as you say , like a Hi Gain modern Metal Tube amp, and a good one too. The Amptweaker also sounded very Tube Amp like, actually reminds me of my amps setups, the Ceres sounds like Amps I wish I could afford hahahaha Having said this for sheer Brutality the Chug will make a lot of players happy, and the Empress sounds killer and with a bit of Dialling I think I could get a tone I love out of it for sure they were all pretty good to be fair, seems like if you want heavy from a pedal, these all will work lool

Totally agree with your results. The Tight Metal Pro sounds brutal. It's my favorite here in this comparison, because of the dark brutal sounds. Do you know more about the 2. version, is the noise gate better to adjust? Your channel is one of the best metal gear archives. If I'm searching for something special or if I just need an inspiration, I watch your channel. 🤘

♡

Man the Ceres is fucking brootal!

Chuggity Chug Chug Chugger

dentro de esta competencia el orden de más a menos es ceres, chug, tight metal y heavy empress

All of them had a really good sound. Solar Guitars "Chug pedal" was just little bit better.

Thanks for using only 1 guitar, sick vid! I'll go for Ceres and Chug also

Empress all the way

They all sound great, but I don't think you can beat the $199 price for the CHUG pedal for fundamentally similar tonal capability.

For the chugs you are doing, the G4 from Revv would have held up to these pedals. Ceres and Revv G3 & G4 user here 😅

until my ear mixed it all I was pretty much going with the CHUG...

Personally i can see why some people wouldn't like the chug, i think ola had it modeled after a Randall Satan (his old sig amp) and that's a very bright amp but i like it. For the price it isn't bad compared to the other pedals on that line up.

The Chug was the worst for me. Really bright sounding. Reminded me of Dimebag sound or thrash.

6:03 Heavy 6:17 Ceres 7:48 Ceres 8:28 Heavy

Chug won.

Do the Revv Northern Mauler next🤘

I'm leaning towards the CHUG...

I’m guessing I still prefer the tone of the Chug or the Ceres, but I gotta tell ya, that lick you’re playing is absolutely terrible for analyzing the sound of a guitar/pedal. Could you please play something different?

My Blackstar HT-Metal is still the shit. Put it up against any on these and it will eat their lunch. Just sayin

god damn, modern metal tones are awful

Empress Heavy ftw \m/

Yep tight metal pro is the one

I love that no one knows chug is a racist term for Indians 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
