Thx for the comment. It is indeed very schweet!

Hey. Thx for the comment. Yeah I think they’re the same analog drive circuits. Such a great great pedal this. Love it.

@@TheGuitarEffect Thank you!!!!!!!!

Sorry mate! No idea who Sirius is! Apologies. But these things rarely do sound like the real thing but in a way I don’t think they’re supposed to. They’re more to give the feel or idea in a specific setting. I think this does that well

Hey. Thx for the comment. I’d check out the Trex Diva Drive and the Lovepedal Amp 11 too. Both can be very natural

Hey thx for the comment. Yeah it’s a great pedal.

Thx Randy. Good to hear from you. Hope all is well.

Thx as always man. It’s a great pedal. Hard to make a demo about a volume pedal though!

@@TheGuitarEffect 😂😂😂 you're telling me

Yeah it’s kind of… turn it up, turn it down…. Theme music!

Hey thx for the comment. I can’t honestly say there is any influence from Ohio in that song but I’ll take the compliment! Here is the actual song. It’s by my band Kampala: czcams.com/video/HVNF8-ylwOA/video.htmlsi=4GcAr5iAVa6mZlaY

Nice one! Great pedal. Enjoy!

Hey. No cab sim featured. Thx

Hey man. Not sure how I could actually program it for you? Where are you based. Thx for the sub. Appreciate it.

@@TheGuitarEffect Hi again, thanks for your reply, I really appreciate that. If it's for me and I live in Mooresville C.N. I would like to be able to update my Cerberus that way and I'm looking for someone who can do it.

So do you mean you want to do the aft ware update or to have the sounds that I demo in the video?

@@TheGuitarEffect The sounds of the video

OK there are two possibilities. I don’t have my Cerberus anymore but it’s possible my presets may be still saved in the software. If that doesn’t work we could do a zoom call and I could show you how to program it. I wouldn’t charge for the presets but I would charge for the zoom call.

It’s a song by my band Kampala. We’ve never recorded that one but you can hear us at CZcams.com/@kampalaband

Hey. There are some settings on the pitch knob where the heel position on the pedal changes the pitch. So as long as the pedal is on this is possible

Hey Thx for the comment. It’s an interesting point, this. Are you saying you think I shouldn’t have made this video as it endorses him? I ask that in a conversational way rather than a defensive one.

Hey. Thx for the comment. Yeah it’s really great alright. Capable of a lot of very useable tones.

Hey. Thx for the comment. Yeah it’s just an absolute belter. And I totally agree about the volume knob.

Hey. Thx for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Sorry to hear that!!! Yeah I’ll be hanging on to this. They’re easy enough to get used for decent money

@@TheGuitarEffect still available from sweetwater new here In the states, I’ve been burning through the affordable pedal market

Affordable pedals are really top notch h now and as a result pretty addictive!!

@@TheGuitarEffect yeah I’ve been trying to buy up entire ranges of them before churning out reviews. Some of these affordable companies produce alot of variety 🤣

Same. I had an older version with the blue led. I should have never sold it. 😢

Yeah that’s all exactly right. That right there would work great. I have the two notes revolut and could do the exact same thing for the live rig. I think this would be a great choice for the in front pedal. Or the Od 200

Hey Paul. Thx for the comment and the info. I think I had heard that the pedals were still being produced alright.

Hey Taurus. Thx for the comment. Indeed this really is a great all round dirt pedal. It really can cover all the gain sounds you might need. I just wish it had a way of knowing what preset you are on when using MIDI. I’ve not tried any Flamma stuff but indeed NUX and Sonicake are making really great gear. I think the tone deaf thing is all subjective. There’s a lot of big CZcams players out there whose tone I’m not a fan of but they’re not playing music taht I’m a fan of so I wouldn’t be a fair judge of what their going for. Like I really like Dan Steinharts guitar tone cause I like what he plays but I’m not a blues fan so I’m not into Mick’s sound though I’m certain it’s exactly what he is looking for. Know what I mean?

I don’t have this pedal anymore but as far as I know you could turn trails on and off.

Thx for the comment. I appreciate your feedback and will try harder.

Yeah. You’re totally right.

Hey Gerry. Thx for the comment. Hope you are well. So, believe it or not there is absolutely no string noise (bar one or two missed moments per video) in any of my videos. As soon as it’s recorded I go in to the audio and mute my vocal mic whenever I’m playing the guitar. The guitar is recorded direct so there’s no string noice of any kind. If you are hearing string noise on this it’s just inherent statiness!!

@@TheGuitarEffect it could well be just the bright single-coil sound indeed. In which case, ignore my comment🙃 Thanks for the videos, though... always great stuff.

Ah no I take any negative comment with an open mind. I’m fairly old… and as a result opinionated! So I’m not always receptive but that’s a fair comment. It is just the guitar though. Thx for the kind words. Appreciated

Hey. Thx for the comment. As I was reading this I was thinking “Oh god don’t get a bigsby if you’re a beginner, it’s a nightmare to restring!) but you didn’t so great move. Also kudos to you for wanting something left of centre. I think it’s so important that you feel your guitar extends your identity / personality. It’s a banger of a guitar. Great choice.

Oh my god that have that now????? Oh wait. I bet it plays blues for you. 🙄

Hey. Thx so much. Yes should absolutely work. In fact I think you can download these patches and load them into the stomp.

@@TheGuitarEffect thank you so much for the response! Liked and subscribed

Very welcome and thx!

Hey. Thx for the comment. This isn’t made anymore. But it would have been the vintera model about 10 /12 years ago so I’d say very similar. It’s an absolutely excellent guitar.

@TheGuitarEffect I tried a 60s vintera today at a guitar store and loved it so looking on the 2nd hand market and found your guitar locally. Just trying to work out the differences. Do you think they'd have the same pick ups? The vintera just says Vintage-Style Mid-'60s pickups. Is that what the classic series have? Are they alnico V?

I actually don’t know what the pickups in mine are called but they definitely have a 60s sound for sure.

I want to switching all channels on my katana head.. But if I buying midi controller with keyboard or pedal form factor, I'll spend to much money and the others feature would be useless for me

Hey. So unfortunately no you can’t. I really wish this had midi out too. It has the MIDI ports but can’t send MIDI PC messages. Neither can the NUX Cerberus, Trident or the Hotone ampero. It f you really want to get a multi effects that can send midi I’d recommend the BOSS MS3

@@TheGuitarEffect so the best multi effect(also affordable and reasonable price) with midi controller, to replacing the true footswitch from Boss for my Kat have to be come from the origin manufacturer (Boss product).. Am I correct?? Thanks for answering my curious questions.. Ohhh BTW I saw a midi in and out on the back from matribox 2, so the ports are usable for what function??

There’s nothing I know if that can do that new for under €350. But you could get a used line 6 pod HD, boss GT10, GT100. But honestly. If you could I’d spend the money on a BOSS MS3. That way you can plug in your own gain pedals if you want and control external pedals, the katana and have all the effects from the MS3 The midi in port is for controlling the Mateibox 2 with an external midi controller and the midi out port is for daisy chaining other midi devices.

@@TheGuitarEffect ahhhh I see know, so the midi ports in and out are useless for external device, thanks for ur explanation, I really considering matribox for the bedroom playing.. Maybe if I could buy it, I would choose 4 cables method 😂😂😂 And thank you for your suggestion about another boss product, I will think again maybe..

Thx for the comment t. It’s such an individual sounding pedal. I really love it.

Thx for the comment. Yeah it’s an absolutely brilliant pedal. I didn’t know Chris used one.

Hey. Thx for the comment. It’s the Mosky Amp Turbo.

Hey. Thx for the comment. Yeah the Lovepedal stuff is great. Doesn’t sound anything like TS to me which is really interesting. I really like it and I’m not the biggest fan of tube screamers.

@@TheGuitarEffect No problem you always give a good honest review and your videos are enjoyable to watch, Sorry for the nerdiness but I like to throw circuits together for fun plus it saves a fortune on G.A.S, So yeah if you search for the timmy and tube screamer schematics online they are very similar topology. The amp 11 seems to be identical to the timmy with the input impedance biased higher to 1M ohm more like your amps input impedance and the gain pot is half the value so a little less gain.

Ah! Interesting I had been using the Mosky Amp turbo and it sounds amazing. It had the boost separate. So the other amp 11 versions have the boost separate? I didn’t know that

@@TheGuitarEffect yeah that's correct. I think it's only the small box teal that has the restricted boost option. Could be useful in itself though to go from one extreme to the other easily.

Hey. I upgraded the pickups in the strat to bare knuckle 65 veneer board strat pickups and it changed it completely. It had fat 50 pickups in it. It really does sound great now.

@@TheGuitarEffect I'm going to have to look into those, that's a fantastic sounding Strat for sure. BKP aren't cheap, but they sure do make a nice pickup

So I went to the music store I buy stuff from and said I think I want 60s strat pickups as opposed to 50s and he happened to have these in stock. Did me a great deal. I would normally discount BKP as they’re above my paygrade! But in SOME circumstances you do get what you pay for!

Yeah I’ve heard that before alright.

@@TheGuitarEffect It has been confirmed on the DIY Pedal forums, it's not a rumour.

Ok. If you have an amp and play through an amp get an OD200. If you play at home through monitors or headphones get an IR200. The IR200 is an amp medeller so you can switch between and clean and dirty amp. That’s a way to get distortion. But it’s not a distortion pedal per Se. The IR200 has reverb on board but nothing like the versatility or options of an RV200.

@@TheGuitarEffect thanks!

Hey. Thx for the comment. No it’s not. It’s only ever one effect at a time.

@@TheGuitarEffect Thanks for the quick response 👍

Hey. Thx for the comment. To be honest I think that the amp academy sounded better straight out of the box but the IR200 sounds pretty good with some tweaking and as a gigging guitar player the functionality of yhe IR200 can’t be beaten.

@@TheGuitarEffect Thanks for the swift reply! I've struggled for over a year to be completely satisfied with the IR-200. I need something that needs less tweaking, and as I'm not gigging (when I start gigging with my band, it'll be with an amp, because here in Sweden the ampless craze hasn't hit as much yet haha), so I could try the Amp Academy and see how it works for me. I just need simple and great sounds for my recording, something that works great with pedals, especially overdrive, distortion and fuzz, which I don't use much, though. I'll try it and then decide which of the pedals I'll keep. I'll also watch your IR-200 review, I might learn something. And now I'll go and subscribe.

Go check my recent video in the two notes revolt. It can be very simple with the onboard XLR compensated out or very complicated for recording with the software included. It’s very very good.

And thx for the subscription! Been to a Stockholm once before in ‘14 to see Pearl Jam. Lovely city. Great people.

​@@TheGuitarEffect Will do! I've already watched the IR-200 video, but I'll have to rewatch it. But first the Two Notes video. Cheers!

Hey Philip. Thx for the kind words mate. Very much appreciated. I’ve had the channel for 3 years now. Pretty happy with where it’s at but finding the time with the family and bands is a challenge! So regarding the revolt. I reckon it’s a winner. The clean channel is a little sterile (as in it doesn’t really break up in a mega pleasing way) but I reckon in a wedding / function band setting it would be perfect. I don’t do that gig anymore so I’d prefer a little more personality on the clean channel but there are ways around that. Take a look at this. It’s my current HX effects board. I use it for gigging direct or through an amp or recently both at a festival where I went to an amp for onstage monitoring and the IR200 for front of house. czcams.com/video/movDPi03mMo/video.htmlsi=raWZiNpLYJ3s8DDl

@@TheGuitarEffect yeah I’d imagine you could stick an EP boost or a KOT in front to give it a little hair. Have you tried it with any hotter pickups? Those bareknuckles in your strat would be pretty low output. But your demo sounds a lot less harsh and shrill than others I’ve watched. I’d never never fully make up my mind on a product based solely on demos. So many variables . But if a particular unit is getting very mixed reviews it does make it harder to make a decision to take a punt on something

Hey Philip. So yeah I’ve tried it with humbuckers. (Low output humbuckers though) and it’s still not really breaking up meaningfully. It does break up with the boost, but the boost has an EQ thing going on that works great on the dirty channels but it’s a bit odd in the clean channel. To be honest I think the clean channel is neutral so that you CAN style it with a pedal. Like, I reckon that’s the idea. If you ever want to borrow it you are welcome. Only thing is I use it for making demos so I couldn’t be without it for more than a few days and I think you’re in Sligo right. As it happens I’m going on holiday on Sunday so you can borrow it for the week if you can collect it and drop it back.

@@TheGuitarEffectYou're too kind. I'm based in Galway. I think it might be worth taking a punt on. And if I really didn't bond with it I could always send it back.

Actually I’m not sure where it’s produced. Fantastic guitar though.

Hey. Thx for the comment. Don’t think I’m aware of the juice box I’ll check it out.

Hey. The main knob controls the volume of the loop when you are in the Home Screen.

@@TheGuitarEffect Thank you so much for your time and videos

Hey. If you mean you want to out this on your board instead of using your amp and you normally run your delay pedal in the loop of your amp then yes. Put your delay in the loop of the IR200 and it will do the same thing. If you want to run the IR200 and your amp it’s a bit more complicated.

Hey. Yes absolutely. The only difference is you only have 3 presets. Not 6

Hey. Thx for the comment. I agree it has a lot to offer but it’s not readily on hand which I think is a blocker for it.

Thx. It’s a great guitar with its own thing going on.

Hey Jacob. Thx for the comment. I like you too. I mean I like your comment! 😬

Indeed he does. And if you don’t subscribe… he will have his vengeance in this life or the next.

@@TheGuitarEffect of course subscribe done even to the after life
