Each feature is another reason to own Cerberus!

Cerberus is a multi-function effect pedal which can be used stand-alone or with the 4 cable method and comes packed with extraordinary features includinginside routing,IR loader,analog overdrive & distortionanddigital effects.

You can use Cerberus as a stand-alone device to prepare your setup and control as a stomp-box chain and/or save any combinations including routing as a preset and recall by a single click. You can add your essential gears into the chain with using4 cable methodno matter which equipment you use. Cerberus also offersMIDI controlto organize your own effect pedals and improve your effects control at the same time.
We’ve put together 2 selected analog Drive / Distortion pedals, modulation effects and delay & reverb effects. All these sounds and effects were improvised both from theall-time-classicand newly most-liked gears.
Analog Overdrive and Distortion:

Overdrive (Blues Breaker):Cerberus Overdrive sound is a tribute to the 70s Little Wing / Hendrix playing-style. The technology is only about 10 years ago but it quickly became one of the most-preferred overdrive sounds on the market. The Overdrive Channel simply takes your guitar tone to the next level without adding mid-frequencies or any other unwanted characteristics inherent in Tube Screamer Style circuits, and provides a transparent overdrive sound. Any pedal can sound amazing but when you create an effect chain, harmonizing the sound is critical for maximum efficiency.

Distortion (Brown Anger):If you prefer high gain distortion with a Classic British flavor, rich bass responses, thick mid-frequencies and a balanced treble response, Cerberus Distortion will soon become one of your all-time-favorite sounds. Weve also considered compatibility in respect to the Overdrive and Distortion channels. Whether you use distortion standalone or combine with overdrive, when you hit your distortion switch, youll feel the classic JCM touch on your sound.

Drive section has analog circuitry with digital control parameters and it remains analog (AD/DA converter starts from the MOD FX section).
Modulation Effects:

Tremolo:Cerberus Tremolo creates authentic vintage tremolo guitar sounds and it is an easy-to-use compact effect but it offers wide parameters for precise effect tailoring.
Phaser:It’s warm, organic, and rarely harsh and burnt-orange phaser. From simple and warm, to tuneful character melodic?
Sleepy psychedelic swirl, with rich high-end harmonics, Cerberus’s Phaser is a joy to use.
U-vibe:For guitarists who really dig the swirling vibes sound– especially in “vintage” mode, Cerberuss U-Vibe offers a massive swirl, that’s true, it’s more than feeling the U-Vibe sound, you can jump on it. We made sure our U-Vibe effect included the classic favorites, and Cerberus has them readyChorus(CE – Analog, SC – Digital, ST – Modern)

CE Chorus: This chorus type is from early years of Chorus effect. There is no any other vintage sound without an analog chorus touch.
SC Chorus:SC Chorus adds a dreamy chorus sound and creates an ambient guitar tone. That’s another alternative chorus if you like a digital touch and to create and ensemble chorus effect.
ST Chorus:This is the most common chorus effect. From clean arpeggios or strumming and fat-drive power chords to sparkling distortion killer solos, Cerberus ST Chorus fills in the gaps to complete your sound.
Delay (60’s, 70’s and 80’s)

60’s Delay (Tape Delay) 55ms – 550ms:Tape delay effects that never get old. We picked a heavy-lift tape echo and shrunk it to add one of the delay modes in Cerberus. In 60s Delay mode you can create aged over-saturated repeats — the way tape does!
70’s Delay (BBD) 40ms – 400ms:This mode can handle all or your performance needs if you prefer to use analog-style repeats. It has a decreased modulation so you feel really the popular analog-like BBD sound repeats.
80’s Delay (Digital Delay) 80ms – 800ms:80s Delay sounds fantastic is super easy to use. Its simplicity makes it the best mode if you are already using modulation effects, and all you want are crystal clear repeats.

TAP TEMPO
All of the Delay effects provide an original sound and each one has its own delay speed range. When TAP TEMPO is activated, the Time Knob controls the repeat quantize andTAP TEMPO delay range is 125ms – 1500msfor all delay types. And while youtweak the Time Knob, it still allows you to have the original delay time range to emergeinfinite feedback,run-away/oscillationas physical tape echo and BBD delay.Reverb (Plate, Hall and Spring)

Plate Reverb:Plate reverb helps you to have the touch of reverb. If you are in need of a deep ambiance, long decay parameters will give you the deepest but also versatile and organic reverb sound.
Hall Reverb:It offers the spacious feeling of a well-architected performance hall with natural reflections in a studio quality reverb effect.
Spring Reverb:Based on a tank sound, get the warmth and richness of a vintage reverb unit with Cerberus’s Spring Reverb function.
Impulse Response (IR) Loader

Cerberus hasstereooutputs: one is a dedicated Output with speaker simulation for direct connection to the mixer or your audio interface. When using both Outputs, you can activate or deactivate by pressing the Speaker Cab Sim button. This comes in handy when running 2 amps. Theheadphone output is cabin simulated and ready-to-play. It can run any 3rd party IR files as well.

Features and Requirements of Cerberus’s IR loader:

• Built-in IR: High-Quality 4×12 Closed Back Cabinet
• Zero Latency
• 44.1kHz Sampling Rate, 24-Bit
• Max Resolution: 512 Samples
• Nux factory cabs and 3rd party IR files can be loaded toCerberus via Cerberus Editor software (check the support page)

For the real IR experience, you can use theNUX PA-50 Personal Monitor. The second channel isFull-Range Flat-Responseinput, you will get the real sound characteristic when you use the speaker cabinet simulation.
