Description

Cerberus is a multi-function effect pedal which can be used standalone or with the 4-cable method and comes packed with attractive features including inside routing, IR loader, analogue overdrive & distortion, and digital 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. Also, by using the 4-cable method, you can add your essential gears into the chain no matter which equipment you use. Cerberus also offers MIDI control to organize your own effect pedals and improve your effects control at the same time.

Key Features

Analogue Overdrive and Distortion

• Overdrive (Blues Breaker) – The Cerberus Overdrive sound is a tribute to the 70’s 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-favourite sounds. Nux have 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, you’ll feel the classic JCM touch on your sound.

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.
• U-vibe – For guitarists who really dig the swirling vibes sound– especially in "vintage" mode, Cerberus’s U-Vibe offers a massive swirl.

Chorus

• CE Chorus – This chorus type is from early years of Chorus effect.
• SC Chorus – SC Chorus adds a dreamy chorus sound and creates an ambient guitar tone.
• 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 Delay (Tape Delay) 55ms – 550ms – Tape delay effects that never get old.  Nux have picked a heavy-lift tape echo and shrunk it to add one of the delay modes in Cerberus. In 60’s 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 analogue-style repeats. It has a decreased modulation, so you feel really the popular analogue-like BBD sound repeats.
• 80's Delay (Digital Delay) 80ms – 800ms – 80’s 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.

Reverb

• 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.
