Down to this and the diezel herbert. I've got the evh 5150 with 6l6 tubes.. might end up getting both eventually but wondering if the ceres is the way to go for now. Thanks
I have the Diezel Herbert too and although the Diezel is good, you should be looking into the Ceres and the Kraken. Cut the Diezel off the list bc the Ceres and Kraken are legit better. That's a lot bc I seriously love my Diezel Herbert but the Ceres and Kraken are Kings of the preamp pedal game.
@@louistorres thanks man. Seems like we have the same taste in tone. Going with the ceres. Like supporting small businesses as well and I'm an ohio guy.
please tell me in amplifier no loop effects send return, whether goodksr ceres sounds in the input of the amplifier and whether it will be good to connect to the card focus rite through vst nrl dsp turn off amp leave only cab? .
Hi Louis,is there any difference in sound between this and the LY-ROCK pedal as this Ceres sounds brutal and if I can get these chugs of the LY-ROCK I’ll order one of them.Thanks
Hell Yes! All the stuff Kyle builds is top notch, he’s got a killer ear for modern metal tones! Been waiting to hear more about this pedal since NAMM, should’ve known you’d bring the Chugs!
Bro, I'm using it right now with my headphones and the KSR plugged into my Mooer Radar cabinet sim. It's incredible! The video still lacks the tone it really has! Without question, it's my favorite FAVORITE pedal right now!! Although it's pricey, I'm glad I jumped on it! I only know of KSR bc my buddy Justin has a Gemini and I was like, "what's that?" He loves that thing and after watching a few videos, I knew I had to have anything by KSR!
@Louis Torres you should do a shootout video between this and the diezel herbert pedal. That would be a killer comparison! I just ordered the ceres in orange last night. So stoked to FINALLY get it!!
Oh no, Greggory!! I sold my Ceres a few months ago bc I knew I'd be getting the KSR Eros. I'll see if I can borrow one and do a comparison, especially since I now have a Pepers' Pedals Switch!
@@louistorres no worries! It could be an awesome video though. Btw incredible hi gain pedal alert. Check out the Okko Dominator mk2. It comes in 2 versions. Black which is more mid scooped mesa king of tone and the red which is like an evil more aggressive 5150 type of tone. Just ordered the red. Should have it soon!
Hotone have one too Hotone Loudster. 75whatts in 4ohms... also works on 8ohms and 16ohms with less power. i have one of this and its amazing!!! Im have a babybomb too!!! LOL
Never owned the Apex pedal, don't know what it's like but check out some videos with the Apex on TH-cam. See which one sounds good to you. Is Horizon Devices still around? I thought they closed shop but who knows.
I love my KSR Ceres but man, they're expensive! I just ordered the Seymour Powerstage 170 on Wednesday! That thing was pricey too! Ugh! Lol! I'll have a new video with the PS170 + Ceres and the Diezel Herbert.
@@louistorres sick! Herbert pedal or amp? Yeah it's not cheap but the same thing would cost you over $600 for all three Revv pedals (3 channels). But I hear ya bro. Looking forward to more vids. Cheers and have a great weekend!
@@SlinkyT82 E-man, you are the best and have a great weekend as well! I love the Herbert and the REVV G4 is a monster! About to upload my Line6 G50 wireless video! :)
You know... I feel like you can get your perfect tone without a boost, since it has its own boost toggle switch called "bright" but I know some guys switch it off and use their favorite boost pedal. :)
@@louistorres so after 8 months of convincing myself and saving up I was able to buy one and HOLY SHIT this thing frickin' slays. Best money I ever spent so far.
I literally just added you to my "TH-cam List" of things to do! You have a sick studio! I'm jealous bro! You have no idea! I can't even record anything bc it's too frustrating! Lol! I just want a cassette recorder like the old days! Hahaha!
@@louistorres Thanks man. I know how you feel. I just spent three day on editing my lates video. It was so frustrating! My PC crashes all the time due to my 4K videos.
@@PaulKingMetal aaaawww bro! Sorry that happened, wth your system crashing! Lol! Your videos are bad ass; you do a great job with them, without question! Love that added touch with outdoor footage!
@@PaulKingMetal your videos are what videos should look like! Mine are terrible but that's because I'm lazy and don't want to make them better. Lord knows I've tried but I legit have zero patience! Zeeeeero! Lol. Keep up the amazing work brother! I'm going to make a video in a bit with my Mooer Radar + REVV G4 and will plug your channel! Guys need to hear and watch you play!! You're a sick musician!!!! :)
What the Depth Finder does is it gives any pedal preamp+ poweramp combo that presence which makes it sound fuller. Take any tube amp and set the presence to zero. Play it for two minutes, then add presence back in. That's what the Depth Finder does with its available Presence and Resonance knobs. :)
Have you tried the rivera metal shaman? Nobody ever reviews that but they are always low in stock. Anyways the diezel and ksr are absolute beasts, I'm hoping the rivera delivers.
I have a question. I'm running a bunch of pedals, including a Donner black devil preamp, but don't have a guitar power amp or head. The SD Powerstage 170 sounds great, but, I also happen to own a Quilter BB800 bass amp, that people say I can use as a power amp (if I go through the xlr input I bypass the preamp altogether). That would work too, right?
Looking at the back panel of the Quilter BB800, I have to agree that using an XLR with your preamp pedal should work. XLR cables should be about $15, give or take.
I just ordered a Ceres! Bro! I can’t wait for it to get here! That is brutal! I’ve got two Mesa’s. I’ve got a DC-5 (it’s a 50 watt Rectifier with out the Rectifier tubes and they added a 5 band eq) and a Mark IV. I’m hoping that the Ceres adds another sound to my rig.
Louis Torres I had to get the Dirty Tree too! I wouldn’t have even known about Peper’s Pedals if it wasn’t for your videos man! Thanks man! Love your videos man! Fuck clean!
Damn you! Hahaha! I almost bought one too!! Bro, everyone I know that has one LOVES their MT15! I'll look for one now! This local guy was selling his for $475 and I didn't buy it, for whatever reason. Losing that head was the reason I pounced on the EVH5153/EL34 that I have!! Hahaha! Cheapest one right now on eBay is $550 in New Jersey. Let me offer him a little less since shipping will be less going to New York! Wish me luck!!
You have convinced me to buy one of these and run it through my effects loop as a preamp. I received my diamond and it’s awesome BUT. It’s missing that roar like a Mesa and this seems to have it
Hey Hernan, your best bet may be to listen to all these pedals individually, since there are a number of great videos, and see which one you like. Of the list you posted, I only own three of the eight pedals you mentioned, that's why I can't rate them for you. Sorry about that brother.
There was a time I would look on reverb every single day, for WEEKS!! Lol. I'm glad I got it but man, they're pretty rare. I don't know how many Kyle actually made so far.
It kind of blows my mind how fast people pre-order these kind of things and turn around and sell it shortly there after. I’m too much of a collector to get rid of much lol. Even if it’s not what I originally wanted, I’m usually hard pressed to get rid of stuff...unless it’s going to the greater good of better shit lol
Hey brother! Thank you so much for watching and I hope I make you laugh out loud! The best part is being able to chat with guys like you! Everyone's really cool and down to earth man and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!! I appreciate you doing that, bro. :)
Sick!! For a rig that would probably fit in a guitar case or gig bag....dayum!! Add in the mooer radar for safety and forget about it!! Lol. I totally thinks it’s worth the money, for what it does and portability.
I need to do a comparison video with the various preamp pedals I have! Jeff, you'd like this KSR! I'm thinking the extra cost of roughly $175 compared to other preamp pedals is due to the extra features it has. There are lots of toggle switches that help create the brutal sound this thing makes!
Stop it! Do you? No joke, I never think of clean intros but I'm sure it has to do with the music I listened to when I was a kid. My buddy Tom, who bought my 5150EVH is a beast of a guitarist and is the same, like you. He can think of really cool clean intros or will bust out clean riffs in the middle (sort of like Linkin Park) You know, maybe I just need to try and see how it goes. Legit though, I never think of clean tones but some musicians are gifted and can come up with great clean/ reverb/ delayed riffs. I should listen to a few bands/ songs to hear how others use the clean channel. Thanks for leaving your comment, bro!! It never hurts to try something new! :)
Damn, that's brutal! I'm contemplating selling my Tight Metal Pro and Wampler Plexi Drive Deluxe to fund a Ceres. How would you rate this compared to the TMP? Awesome demo bro \m/
Hey Paul! I have a Tight Metal Jr that I love but I'm not going to lie, you're going to love the KSR Ceres! It's my #1 favorite preamp pedal! Glad you like it, brother! I'll be adding my videos this week!!!!
@@Nightbreed82 Paul, I still LOVE my REVV G4 a ton and to be honest, was really surprised when I used the Ceres. At first I thought, "could this thing be better sounding that my REVV?" And although they're both in the ultra chug ballpark, the Ceres just roars. For double the price of the REVV, maybe it should be a bit better, right. :) You're the best brother! Thank you for the comment and happy Monday!!
Damn man that thing is a beast!! I'm gonna have to get me a rig like that.. great pre amp pedal and a good small power amp by Mooer. That kind of set up will be great for when we're in the practice space. I can just get me another 4x12 cab to leave there and have my pedals in my guitar case. Hauling around a half stack is getting to be a pain in my ass!
Omfg! I can't imagine always moving things around and you know, the Baby Bomb is only 30 watts and my EHX Magnum 44 just came in and it's even better! Yeah bro, I feel like everyone's moving to lighter gear since everything coming out now is incredible! Ideally, Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170 and KSR Ceres preamp pedal or Diezel Herbert preamp pedal and done! Bring the head when you play a show or don't, and just use the pedal gear! They're fun without a doubt and they sound shockingly great! I wish I were 20 years old at this stage of music advancements in technology. It's the ideal time bc everything is incredible that these companies are producing. In 1988, you used whatever you could afford and it all sucked! Even Marshall because they needed to be boosted and boost pedals were awful! Hahaha! Then the only glimpse of hope we had was a major let down with the Boss Metal Zone! Hahaha! Bzzzz!!! Lol. That was an awful time but fastforward to now! I'm writing a track now without a drummer!!! You have NO idea how futuristic this shit is! I grew up with telephones attached to wires and you could only walk five feet away! Hahaha! You live in the future right now!!! Get yourself some of these preamp pedals! You're going to love them!!!!
@@louistorres yeah man we definitely live in a time where being a guitar player is getting easier. I'm 33 now and I wish I would've had this stuff when I was 15-16 years old that they have now. I'm really wanting to get me a DAW together so I can start recording and making music by myself. I'll have to use a plug-in for drums like Toontrack or GGD.

There's all this kick ass stuff coming out for us and I'll tell you man, shit's getting expensive!

Don't have the Apex but a lot of dudes don't like it, so I'll take their word for it. That's why I only have the Tokyo Drive, which is an awesome pedal. I have videos with each, hopefully you'll like one of the three.

Don't have the Apex but a lot of dudes don't like it, so I'll take their word for it. That's why I only have the Tokyo Drive, which is an awesome pedal. I have videos with each, hopefully you'll like one of the three.
@@louistorres Nice, yea I had the precision drive for awhile and liked it. Have you tried any of the KSR full on amps?
@@fireitinmyhole my buddy Justin has a KSR Gemini and LOVES it! Alas, I've never had the chance to use one. :'( They all sound incredible in the videos I've watched!! :)
Yea devices is real Swedish sounding but it's good u don't need to worry about a noise gate since one's inbuilt.
