I like seeing you demo high end amps and all but really dig it when you demo something that is in the price range that everyone can afford.
That's the best that 7 string ever sounded on this channel in my opinion. Just brutal, clear and harmonically rich
Yeah I got one of these recently and it rips. Absolutely one of the best high gain distortion pedals you’re ever gonna find for sixty bucks. It’s a one channel version of the KRS Ceres.
Awesome sounding pedal Kyle. Brutal crushing tones i can't get enough of. Have a great trip and enjoy yourself. Thanks man!
I dig that you’re using an expensive amp as well as lower costing amps or that move directly into the daw. That’s hitting a lot of different players!
As far as the pedal goes, dude I’m surprised! Wow sometimes those lower costing pedals just have the magic in them! Those lower tones are crushing! Very cool! Awesome demo yo! 🤘🤘
Great demo. Loved the fact that you played Soaked in Torment at the end, absolutely crushing riff from one of the most underrated bands in hardcore.
I am lost for words at how great this thing sounds! like you said it has no business sounding the way it does! please do more of these
Sounds kinda like a boosted Marshall….. pretty impressive 🫨
This is coming in the mail today and can’t wait to try it out! All these videos of it and how awesome it sounds for a $60 is amazing! Had the Ceres a cpl times and this sounds better with more bass 😂 I love KSR too and still have the Vesta preamp and Hera OD pedal by them.
That's a crazy tone! In a good way. For 70 bucks you can't beat it honestly. Combine that with something like a boss katana 100 2x12 combo and you have a VERY cheap badass sounding rig
Pretty crazy. Great tones.
Forget the brand and forget the cost, that thing sounds GNARLY A/F!!! Fantastic tone, and I much preferred the pedal into the Blackstar power pedal over into the expensive tube amp. It was just doing the thing so well. Great review!
Me too!!
Sounds phenomenal for the price. I don’t know if you saw my comment on your other video but I just recently got the Argos overdrive from Joyo which is based on the precision drive from horizon devices and it is phenomenal and it was only 40 bucks. love their stuff
Just got the argos for myself on Xmas, can't wait
@@jackbootshamangaming4541 nice. I think you will like it. It can pretty well match what a sd1 or tube screamer does and then some. It replaced the sd1 on my board for general use. Now I just use the sd1 for a lead boost really
Just got mine yesterday. Love it
Blackstar amped 1 is an underrated pedal platform amp.
The recent selection of preamp pedals coming out is blowing my mind. Like, you can get this, a soldano pedal, Rev, AMT...etc, and have a ton of different tones for recording fairly easily.
Dude, thanks for helping to make some more tones than are helping form a better description of tones that are better for single note/technical playing. I have had the opinion for a short while now that the "honkier" tones are better for technical stuff, they tend to be clearer and punch through a mix much nicer. Greenbacks and Creambacks lean toward that description. 3 or more string chords and it gets funky though, high gain stuff that is. If doing a lot of 3+ string chords, a bit of mid scoop does tend to mitigate the tendancy to turn it all into an indecipherable ball of white noise.
Merch idea… a t-shirt of your face at 0:07 that says “Let’s do it” underneath
Sounds pretty decent for that price for sure. When running direct into your DAW, have you ever tried the ignite amps tpa-1 power amp sim before your cab sim? I find that it works wonders running my synergy syn-1 direct. Cheers!
With a boost it sounds really good indeed.
I have the Oxford Sound, an orange voiced preamp pedal from Joyo, and I love it. I boost it with the Argos Drive, which is Joyo's take on a Precision Drive clone. It legit doesn't need anything else, though admittedly a tube power amp or a tube power emulation pedal or IR with power tube saturation does help, especially if it's EL34 flavored, though I've also tried 6L6 and it still doesn't disappoint. This Rigel unit seems to do more of the same, in terms of quality and not needing much, but with more sculpting options. I run a stereo rig, and the other amp tone I go for is usually chainsaw, so I wonder how well this would take a stacked turbo rat and eyemaster combo? 😈
Wow, I was about to invest in a $160 preamp pedal but now I’m reconsidering. That sounds pretty amazing. I just bought a new Jackson JS32 that’s gonna get a set of Dimarzios or Duncan’s at some point so I might have to get one of these cuz I really like that tight tone.
I wonder how that would sound through the power amp of my JCM800?
Joyo are absolutely killing it lately. Almost all of their new large box pedals sound great! They've also released a couple of bass pedals in this format that are killer sounding. I'm guessing that this one is geared towards the Friedman BE/hotrod Marshall kinda preamp, but I'm not sure. Would be great to see you compare it to the Chopper-Z preamp pedal!
I know this is old but this is a clone of the KSR Ceres preamp pedal and the Chopper Z is a clone of the Horizon Devices Apex preamp pedal
@@MetalheadOv666 Really? I've never thought of the Ceres as a hotrodded-Marshall type pre-amp, but maybe it is? I've never had the chance to try one unfortunately.
@@nj1255 yes it’s more of a vintage style but don’t get me wrong it gets super brutal and tight especially when boosted with the KSR Hera
@@MetalheadOv666 Everything KSR makes is brutal, so I don't doubt that.
@@nj1255 no sorry the Vesta is a more hot rodded Marshall-y type not the Ceres
Sounds pretty darn good
I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE THIS THANK YOU
dude, look up the tpa-1 by emissary. it is a vst plugin that emulates the power amp. if you put that before your impulse response with this preamp pedal you could get some seriously killer recording tones. It gives you the choice between power tube types, sag, presence and depth. The plugin is absolutely free too!
Personally, I use my marshall head for clean tones and use my distortion preamp in the loop, gonna get an ABY pedal to switch between the two, fuzz and OD work better in front, distortion works better in the loop by itself imo
Awesome review! Perfect for my kind of playing. Do the Chopper Z next pls 🙏🙏🙏
You got it!
@@belligerentamateur you're the man!
I tried one of these. It's basically a poor mans KSR Ceres; one channel instead of three. The controls are pretty much as a Ceres but just for one channel.
Nice !!
For 70$, that's an extremely good value for money option! Well done
What pickups do you have in that guitar? I'm trying to build a Balaguer guitar to order, and I can't decide on the pickups.
SDuncan 'Distortion'
Probably mean “amp head tones” with the mod switch, like different models of a marshall with different levels of head room
This pedal is supposed to be a clone of the lead (maybe the crunch?) channel of the KSR Ceres preamp. So the Mode switch on that is different gain flavours from KSR amps
That Anthrax album still makes me wonder, *Amigros. *(even Billy the Kid would go shopping, don't you?!) Cold enough that I'd eat baconed Rösti in August. Namastè.
off topic question, but have you (or anyone else who may read this) tried a bogner 212 oversized cab? After checking youtube it sounds like the most 412 sounding 212, in a direct comparison to other 212s. But checking some forums it seems people feel like it's a bit to loose and woody/wooly for tight metal sounds. Agreed or think it works great for tight/modern metal/hardcore stuffs?
Hey dude! I own one. Love it to death, it sounds massive but it is a VERY dark sounding cab. Mine is the 212 OS with CB65/V30 combo. I play mostly metal, but a little bit of everything and I have to use some pretty “extreme” eq settings
@@BEEPEE767 Thank you for the reply! I'm looking for a workhorse studio cab (but 212 for transportability since I don't have my own live room). So yeah if it's overly dark it might be better to look for something else. Thanks for letting me know!
(zilla comes to mind as an alternative)
@@dubiousdaydream1695 no problem dude, good luck on the search!
Oh! btw it is Rigel not Regal... I was wondering why i couldnt find it!
It's right on the pedal that's in the entire video my man, haha.
would that not be pronounced "RYE jel"? Like the star?
This is correct, I came to say the same thing lol
Could that be used as a preamp to run an amp sim to a real cab?
nope. For that you need a power amp, not a pre amp. This pedal also needs a power amp to run into a cab
Shockwave!
@belligerentamateur have you ever thought about hooking up some of these like Budget gear stuff up and running them through a Boss katana since how lot of people that’s what they’ve gotten their bedroom like me .
That's because it's a KSR Ceres clone.
Ah thanks for info... Was wondering if Regal = King of Tone variety
Prueba el joyo uzi aber qué tal suena
For less than $100, that sounds pretty fricken sweet.
Ok. This one is most impressive. Holy FK?!!
Sounded really good!! 🔥 But maannn, that IR didn't do it any justice, lol, sounded crap as shit compared to the real cab 💩 I sure hope it sounds at least 10 times better on another IR?! 😬
Teach me your money making ways, sensei! CZcams must be doing good for your banking, given that wall of high dollar gear you have behind you.
Dude, someone told me that you're one of the best blues players on the planet. is this true? Asking for a friend
or i am totally deaf but i like it more than revv g3 g4
This is the same what this small amps are.And this is a pedal.This small amp should be a pedal not amps.
