Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!❤️🙌🏼

💯💯🙌🏼

That sounds like a great rig! I just use only the Cerberus for small gigs too!😃

Then I’m sure you had a great Christmas! ❤️🙌🏼 hope you are enjoying the pedal!

Thankyou man! I really appreciate it!!

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!❤️🙌🏼

Glad you liked it and it helped!❤️🙌🏼

Thank you HK! Glad it was helpful!🙌🏼❤️

Yup it’s a really good buy! They also just released their new pedal the MG-30 which I’ve heard is supposed to be really good!

I ordered one, customer return, never opened the box, $199.......Boom!!!

@@gmanchefboy wow that was a good deal!🙌🏼

Thankyou so much for that comment Luk! That made my day! Your setup sounds epic, would love to try that out! Really appreciate it! Please do consider subscribing and helping me grow the channel! Cheers from Sri Lanka!🙌🏼

@@SheahanDevadoss I will. Please check out my Instagram instagram.com/tonegear75 you'll see my gear there.

You actually got the MIDI on the Cerberus to do something useful? Kudos.

Thanks for the the comment Tim! And thank you for the information on the MIDI side of it! I actually haven’t tried the MIDI functionality of the pedal myself, but it sounds like it gives you a lot more control! Yea the Cerberus really delivers some awesome sounds and features in a great package!❤️🙌🏼

@@SheahanDevadoss The MIDI relay I used was the discontinued NuX PMS-2.

Thanks Matthew! Yes it’s definitely worth it!❤️ 🙌🏼 please do consider subscribing to my Channel!🙈❤️

Cerberus or ME 80?

Thank you, that really means a lot!!🙏🏼❤️

Wow that just made my day man! Glad you like it as much as I do! ❤️❤️ please do consider subscribing to the channel!

@@SheahanDevadoss sorry i forgot to suscribe:)

No worries, I really appreciate it!!❤️

That’s awesome, and yes it is an amazing piece of equipment!🙌🏼😃

Hey Paul, I would definitely go with the Cerberus between the two. However NUX actually released a new pedal called the MG-30 which has and does everything the Cerberus can but also has MORE! you should definitely consider the MG-30 too!❤️🙌

Hey Gregster thank you so much! 1) it does not have a wah wah function. You would have to get another external wah pedal for that. 2) yes you can use the boost in preset mode. You would have to connect an external footswitch to toggle it on or off.. Just as a side note, there was talks of a firmware update that would enable you to do that even without an external foot controller. Not too sure if that rolled out yet. But that mean if you were in patch A and clicked the A button again it would function as the control switch instead of going into edit mode! Hope that helps! Cheers!🙌🏼

Yea NUX makes some excellent pedals! You should definitely check out their MG-30 as well! It’s so much better than many other pedals that cost more than 5 times it’s price!🙌🏼

Hey Bob, thank you! I haven’t done one yet, but will try reach out to the company and see if we could work something out!🙌🏼

Thankyou bro!♥️

You would place that after the fx loop then. Let me know if you need more info!❤️

Hey GATvsGAT, 1) the internal reverbs are all stereo... as for the delays, 1 is stereo and the other two seem to be mono. 2) there is a firmware update which brought trails i think. When you connect it to the computer you can select if you want it or not. I myself haven’t done it yet though, but I really need to🙈 3) the fx loop is mono as far as I am aware. Up until the modulation section it is mono.. the modulation section is where the signal becomes stereo from.

Thanks for the detailed answer! One more question. In “patch mode, does the unit actually store the settings or is it only the signal routing that’s stored? I hope that question makes sense. As an example I have a Sansamp PSA 1.1 Midi preamp where all of the knob settings are remembered once a preset is saved. Is this the case with the Cerberus?

Great question... so I’m patch mode if you change stuff on the fly and change patches, when you come back to the patch it would have reverted back to its last saved format... so yes you need to hit the save button on the pedal to make it permanent!🙌🏼 hope that helps!

Hey Thomas, Im not too sure about that. However there is Midi In & Out on the pedal, so it might be possible... But to be sure you might have to really do some research about it.. sorry I cant be much help on this 🙈

No. The MIDI is hopeless on the NUX. "Full featured" my arse

Thankyou! Yes there is no amp.. this is the direct sound of the Cerberus without any post processing as well!!🙌🏼😃

Hi Geir! That’s a great question.. but it really depends on the type of volume pedal that you have.. if your volume pedal is a standard guitar pedal with an input jack and an output jack, you can essentially put it anywhere in the chain you prefer.. either before the pedal, or in the FX loop (post drive) or at the output of Cerberus (post wet effects) However if it is just a volume controller and has only one jack, then you would have to use it in the EXP jack of the Cerberus. You will also have to connect your Cerberus to a computer and open up the editing software to select what the volume pedal will be controlling! Hope that helps!🙌🏼❤️

@@SheahanDevadoss but what anout an expression pedal? The expressiin has just one kable beside rhe input. How do do this? The expression oedal has two. Is there an stereo cable om use here?

Hey Chirag, that’s a great question. To be very honest I haven’t tried out the Mooer Black Truck.. I tried reaching out to Mooer, to make it happen and am still waiting to hear back… but the Cerberus when it comes to sound quality is 💯.. I recently got my hands on the MG30 and I can safely say it’s by far the best guitar pedal I’ve played through!!! The sounds are just as good if not better than on the Cerberus with all the additional fx and functionality.. I’ve played through the Helix, the Kemper, Zoom G5n, and a whole bunch of other pedals.. the MG30 blows them all out of the water when it comes to sound quality and ease of use… the only thing it lacks is more footswitches! However you can get a midi foot controller like from Melo Audio and hook it up to solve that issue! I would suggest the Mg30 if you have a choice! It won’t disappoint!❤️🙌🏼

Thank you so much for your response man! Really appreciate it! A good chance that I might take the MG30 now!😬

@@chiragbhawnani67 that’s a great choice man! Let me know how you like it, once you get yours!❤️😁🙌🏼

Wow thanks for this information Dan! Really appreciate it!❤️🙌🏼 that will definitely help a bunch of people who have these questions!

Hey thank you so much man!❤️ No this is actually the Sterling by Musicman JP100D🙂

Hey I’m so glad that this helped!❤️ and thank you for that comment! It made my day!❤️

Great question. That’s actually a great idea.. but IMO, instead of the Cerberus get the NUX MG30.. it’s a newer pedal from the company and it has everything the Cerberus has and more! Trust me that would be you’re best bet! I did a video on the MG30 which you can check out!🙌🏼👍🏼 hope it helps

I've been using a Cerberus with an American Sound (modded to remove the speaker emulation so I can use the IR in the Cerberus instead) in the loop to the PA for gigs for a while now - I put that rig together as a lightweight backup for my Helix, enjoyed the sound and feel so much that it's now pretty much my main rig with just an added compressor and wah.

@@FuzzWoof Thanks Fuzzdog. What was up with the AMS speaker emulation that you removed it? Are you getting a "better" sound out of the Cerberus IR, or just different? My ears seemed to have gotten use the AMS through a PA so can't really tell what its missing.

Hey Con Artist, sounds funny when I say that out loud 😂🤣 anyways thanks for the SUB!🙌🏼 As for switching between the chorus and phaser that is possible in 2 different ways.. when you're in pedalboard mode you can assign the CTRL switch to seperately toggle the Mod FX from the chorus or the reverb from the delay... Or you can do what I did, which was buying a dual footswitch and connect it using the TRS cable as I showed in the video.. this way you can control 2 things and still run it in patch mode if you want!🙌🏼🙌🏼 Hope that made sense. Thanks again for the SUB!🙏🏼♥️

@@SheahanDevadoss Yes, certainly did! Cool, Thanks Sheahan. My name is really Con and I’m an artists so it seems to work. Just can’t work out why people don’t seem to trust me? Oh well! Have a great day! Con

Hahahaha yup it's a mystery why people don't trust you 😂😜

@@SheahanDevadoss Yeah, Got me puzzled! 😂

Hey Spencer the Cerberus does not have a built in noise gate! However it does have a post-drive boost built in! It’s perfect for jumping out of your bands mix when playing live!🙌🏼 hope that helps!!

It doesn’t have a built in noise gate, but if you have a good clean power source you won’t have any issues! If incase you do not have a good clean power source then getting a noise gate/suppressor might be a good idea!🙌🏼❤️

Thanks man 👍

🙌🏼No problem!

Hey Pedro! Yes you can!🙌🏼

Hey Rock N Vinyle, I’m not sure if I fully understood your question.. but are you asking how to connect it to the digitech pedal?

@@SheahanDevadoss hello,it works, I connected everything from the trio ;-)

Yes, and as a matter of fact that is exactly what I use! that way I can use the Cerberus on Patch mode and use the Dual Switch to control the tap tempo for delays and as a boost.🙌

@@SheahanDevadoss Thanks for the reply. great to know. Your video was very good too by the way. Nice chops, good info and nice production. Thanks!

Thank you so much Rob! I really appreciate it!❤️❤️

@@SheahanDevadoss You're welcome. I got my Cerberus running with the Mosky dual switch. It's great. I've also got a Flamma preamp pedal in the loop and it after some dialling in it sounds really good either DI'd or into a little powered 1x10 cab I made with a class-D power amp and a Tonetubby 10" alnico speaker.

Yes you can! 🙌🏼❤️

Yes it can!!! That’s what the kill dry switch is for... you can essentially take all the dry guitar from the fx loop out then and the wet signal from one of the outputs. Hope that helps. There must be other ways of doing it as well, but this is the easiest way to get it done👍🏼

Hey Richard, if you're using it going straight into a PA you will have to use Output 2.

But yea without the CAB sim engaged if you run it straight through a PA, it's basically just like every analog OD and Dist..😜

You need to load a cab sim.(impulse response) Got to the Celestion website they have awesome cab sims! You can sound like a whole stack.

Thankyou Bedroom Rocker, I really appreciate it! A lot of it has to do with using the right keywords and doing a bit of promotion. DM me on Instagram @jonafat99 and I can help you out!👍🏼

Hey Juan! That’s a great question! I actually haven’t personally tried out the MG30 yet, but will be getting one around December/January… I would say it really depends on the type of player you are and what you want from the pedal. The Cerberus has amazing analog OD & Distortions along with a built in Cab sim (which you can load your own IRs aswell).. the delays, reverbs, and modulation fx are great too. However the pedal does not have a compressor/octaver/flanger/wahwah etc… if you are looking to do everything in just one tiny pedal, then the Cerberus is lacking in that… however the Cerberus is designed to integrate with other analog pedals and amps beautifully. And you get really beautiful sounds from it!!! All the cover songs on my channel are using the Cerberus, so check them out and hear it for yourself. The MG30 on the other hand has all the fx built in but is digital in nature. That being said I’ve heard some sounds coming from it and it sounds absolutely beautiful. And it has all the fx that the Cerberus is lacking, PLUS more. It has a looper, an expression pedal, a full color display, and just more sonic capabilities. So the Cerberus is analog and does quite a bunch of sounds extremely well! The MG30 is digital and has waaay more fx/control options but it may not be as good as the Cerberus in some..

Thanks man! I really appreciate it! Glad you liked the video!🙌🏼♥️

Hey Richard it does have a cab simulator + IR loader... You can see this from 4:20 on the video.

So you can use it in pedalboard mode in which each section of the pedal is like it’s own stomp box… or in patch mode in which there are 32 banks of 4 presets each which brings the total to 128🙌🏼 hope that helps!❤️🙌🏼

I think it was made with the guitar in mind.. but that doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t work.. as for getting two different tones altogether at the same time, I don’t think that’s possible unless you use the fx loop output or the other two make a separate chain.. hope that helps!❤️

@@SheahanDevadoss ok thanks for the input 👍🏼

Anytime!!❤️

I haven’t ever tried out the Tech 21.. so it’s hard to say! I would love to know more about that though!

Yes exactly.. that can be done when you are in preset/patch mode! 😃🙌🏼

Hey I’m using one of the IR’s that come in the pedal. It’s the 4x12 vintage greenback if I’m not mistaken. Or something like that.

The Cerberus has 9 banks of 4 patches each.

My studio has a UPS which adds quite a bit of noise even if I turn away from it. This is due to electrical interference and it affects all the pedals I have😢.. but that's just in my room.. as for the Boss Me 80; I've never owned one, but I have played through my friend's Me 80.. aaand I can very safely say that the CERBERUS blows the Me 80 out of the park!!🔥🙌🏼 Just don't tell my friend I said that...🤣😂

Hey there! Just saw this comment and I was curious which way you went. I have an ME-80 and I’m considering switching to the NUX. It seems like the ME-80 has more things you can do but the quality of the Nux sounds seems better. Is that fair to say?

The Cerberus has got a firmware update which has opened the doors wide to what you can do with it! As well as its midi control functionality!! So now I'm not so sure about that.. as far as sound goes though, the Cerberus is miles ahead!!!🙌🙌

Hey man what do you mean? Could you give me an example? Then I can maybe flog over it🙌🏼

@@SheahanDevadoss some people add another stomp/pedals to their rigs. add seperate cab or delay , midi swicth , wah etc. they need routing the chains right. with 4cable method i think it posible. or maybe mixed with vst on the DAW. 🙏

@@garfield2742 Hey Garfield as a matter of fact that is exactly how use the pedal as you can see at 11:50 on the video... I didnt go too much into detail about it because there are a few videos that have just covered that topic.. here is a link to one of them... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLN9iMpmvM69qYU.html&ab_channel=BrettKingman

@@SheahanDevadoss ok thx

Well in terms of sound I would definitely go with the Cerberus, however the the ME80 does have a built in expression pedal. If you have a wah pedal or an external foot controller, it’s a no brainer to go with the Cerberus. But if a foot controller is important and you don’t have one, you would have to either buy one as well to go with the Cerberus or think about the ME80

@@SheahanDevadoss i have bought the ME80, second hand. I also have the Cerberus. After playing with the ME80 for past couple of day, i would say that ME80 is a more versatile option for a beginner, due to the controls and knobs. In term of sound, it is probably the 2nd thing i look at. The 2 mfx sounds pretty different. But thanks for the video & the reply.

Hahahaha yea it’s a great pedal to use along with other pedals especially with its versatility! I just did a demo of one of their latest delay pedals as well! That thing is a beast too!

Hey Salvatore 😃so my signal chain is this... Guitar ----> NUX Cerberus ----> Focusrite 2i2 (1st Gen) ----> DAW (Reaper) You are hearing the direct recording of this chain... Hope that answered your question!🙌🏼 And yes I have a set of Yamaha HS 8's, but we are hearing the direct recording of the signal chain into my DAW, so the HS 8's have nothing to do with the sound you're hearing! Hope all of that made sense!😜 Cheers!

@@SheahanDevadoss thank you sheahan! But how were you monitoring yourself while recording? Through the Yamaha's?

@@salvatorevitale9165 yea I was monitoring myself through the Yamaha HS 8's

Yea I’ve been trying to get my hands on the red truck for a while to do a comparison but still haven’t managed to😕

@@SheahanDevadoss Thanks matey. It would be a great comparison. You’re a great player. Well done!

@@SheahanDevadoss Thanks bro. Is there a new Cerberus coming out ie the NME3? Or is it the same pedal. On eBay there seem to be two different names. God bless!

Hi John, yes you can! There are the 2 main outputs (Left & Right) apart from the headphones and FX loop outputs.. so there are plenty of ways of using it👍🏼

Thanks !

@@johnmancina5976 of course man! Please do consider subscribing and joining me on this KZfaq journey of mine🙌🏼

Thankyou for the Sub! I really appreciate it!❤️🙌

❤️🙌🏼

No it doesn't have latency at all. It's just like any other analog pedals, fully real time🙌🏼🔥

Hey Matt, yea you can change the way the drives react by changing the cab sim! I just love a 4x12 Cab sound, but you could literally put any cab sim you like! 🙌😃 Thanks for the Delay feedback! Also I think you must have got a later version of the pedal which has the new firmware. Maybe I have not updated it to the latest firmware.. but on mine the cab sim was only on Out2, and then after the last update it was there on the headphones too but not Out1. Must definitely update! Thanks!❤

Check out some of the cover videos on my channel! It’s all using the Cerberus! And I play mostly rock and metal! Check out my cover of Levitating or Butter

🙈Thank you so much man! This seriously just made my day!❤❤🙌

@@SheahanDevadoss Its too bad that this pedal doesn't have a flanger or rotary speaker like a leslie where it can ramp up and slow down like a leslie.... I bought one due to your review, I should get it next week....

@@MarshallAmpMan hey, that’s awesome to hear man! It’s a great pedal and literally ends up on every video o put out now! Yea it would have been cool to have a few more stuff on it even a compressor, and an EQ… but I think the idea of it is just the main “bread and butter” of guitar in a nice compact package! And it definitely delivers on that!🙌🏼❤️

Yea that was one thing I was surprised about too😅 but maybe they might add that in a future firmware update.. I hope😜 Thanks for the comment Peter and please do consider subscribing to the channel.. would mean a lot to me!🙌🏼♥️

@@SheahanDevadoss Great vid. Without hearing the tones with headphones, I really can't use this pedal at home while the family is sleeping, unless perhaps I connect it to a Mooer Radar IR loader pedal - which has headphone output. What do you think of this idea?

Their claim is "The headphone output is cabin simulated and ready-to-play." as per their web site: www.nuxefx.com/cerberus.html Can you confirm if the HEADPHONE output is or isn't can simulated please?

Yea, but also you can just connect your headphones to output number 2 if you only want to hear it on your headphones..🤷🏻‍♂️ but the Mooer radar works too!!🙌🏼

🙌🏼🙌🏼

Unfortunately there’s no compressor... but a work around to that would be setting the OD gain to like 1 or 2 if you just want it to control the dynamics in a clean way... but you still won’t be able to change attack and release times like an actual compressor to change the way it feels... Or you can just add a tiny compressor to your board.. because the Cerberus sounds and works best with a bunch of pedal, while it can be the powerhouse for most of the tones and sounds!🙌🏼

Yea the tuner is the one thing that is missing on the pedal... so I ended up getting a separate tuning pedal!🙈

Huh? Sorry I didn’t understand what you meant?

Hmm 🤔 why do you think so?
