Could not have spent a lot of time researching this before demonstrating, first of all it’s not a modeller but a multieffect pedal board, the main selling feature of this is that the drive is based on JHS Morning Glory and the drive is JHS AngryCharlie both analoge and faithful circuit replicas.
Additionally the CAB simulation here is an IR loader (and you can load custom IRs, while I agree the factory provided ones sounds like arse, they can be replaced).
There is also a software editor (which is why there is an USB jack on the backside) further more you completely missed the shimmer reverb (which requires the software to setup though, as it was added in a software update. It replaces the slot of the hall reverb). And what ”kill dry” etc is useful for is clearly documented in the manual, even given with examples…

Digital John aka Johnny Bandana, what a killer player; he made that product sound awesome.

I’ve used this unit in gigs, so let me write pros and cons from my subjective perspective:
Pros: Very good modulation effects, both manual and patch mode, has tuner and output-input loop, small footprint, good software.
Cons: O/D is light and distortion is heavy (I wish the O/D had more dirt), on board IR is not very good and need external IR to be loaded, no master level, CTRL switch functions (reverb, modfx etc) need fiddling (I want to use boost, so everytime I turn on the unit, I need to adjust it).
I mostly used it with additional O/D and compressor pedals, yet one can use it as it is. I have other processors but I keep this for small venue gigs.

This is a killer pedal for those who like the sound of analog drives, but want the versatility of digital multi-effects for modulation, delays, reverbs, and an IR loader. I use it frequently for smaller gigs when I don't want to bring the full pedalboard and it gets the job done nicely. I also have done a nice review of it on my YouTube channel. However, this unit came out good 5-6 years ago and, while it was priced very competitively back then, I believe fully digital multi effect units (including Nux MG-series) improved significantly in sound quality, usability, and reduced a lot in price during this time

That intro was phenomenal! I had no idea John had licks like that.

[francescodamico]

I think that this time, onestly, you went quite wrong on this test.
1- there is a firmware update that allows some more options
2- drive and dist are all analog !
3- cab sim (which you disliked) is active only on "out 2" (i think you plugged from out 1)
4- many IRs available for choice... and many more that you can load.
5- Cerberus came out many years ago
6- don't think of it as a digital all in one. Is a stomp boxes pedalboard whitin one box
6- you could compare with red truck mooer, fly rig sans amp, and those kind of things

[taurushamilton]

This is one of my all time favorite pedals ever made… seriously!🤘🏾💯

[CGCEifel]

Got mine for 2 yrs. and it's amazing in front of my Laney Cub. You can switch one Reverb mode for a Shimmer Reverb via the NUX Software. And it's one of the best i ever heard. The Univibe is also great. OD section feels super responsive. They even copied the logo of the Morning Glory in said software, which i consider a pretty ballsy move. Love that thing.

[zewenyang]

Works really well with loadbox setups, it keeps the signal chain running with the least adda. The drive and distortion are analog, it runs into amp and from speaker out of the amp into a loadbox, from which signal enters the unit again to load IR for cab sim and then running thru the mod dalay and reverb. For it is a product released 3 years ago, you can get one of this used at used line6 M9 price. I just hope it could include a comp in the very front of the chain, but man, at this price I can't really complain any on it hahah!

[niclastname]

This kind of thing may not appeal to most of us who have been playing and have pedals etc, but something like this is perfect for someone just starting out and just needs the basics. It's simple and all in one and sounds pretty good. I think getting a kid their first guitar and something like this and they're all set! Plus it's got a headphones out, they don't even need an amp to start off.
I could even see something like this for "boomers" who want something simpler to take as a little travel amp instead of something more complicated like a headrush or podgo etc.

[golfrick]

Anderton's commercials are worth it just to hear Digital John and Mr. Pete!❤

[Mzlew]

I just bought one at the suggestion of my teacher and I love it!

[sergiohotjazz]

The most underrated piece of gear ever. It's my swiss army knife.

[TheGuitarEffect]

I’m sure some people have mentioned this already but the boost, overdrive and distortion are actually analog, you can plug an external footswitch in and do extra control switching and it sends MIDI PC Every time you change preset which is really useful.

[tornadoluke]

Listen to these great analogue drive/distortion sounds but also the fullness of the effects!! I've been using the Cerberus for 2 years now and I want nothing else. (I even bought a backup unit). I use it along side a Plethora X5 of TC Electronic cause it adds looper, compressor and many other and the presets are midi linked.

[orionasgardzero]

3 of my students bought Cerberus under my suggestion; I have to say it sounds very good, It fits very well in the mix, it's a solid unit, great construction and It has analog drive and distortion too..really good product!! 2 years ago they bought It for 190€, incredible valute for the price!! In my opinion it's better then digital Boss stuff like M models..Italian turist in Anderton's, thanks for the pic Lee and Pete 👋😉

[terryenglish]

I have the NuX micro amp and Tube Screamer clone (no horrible nasal sound like a real one ) and both sound great, w a surprisingly big soundstage

[gatrupi]

Great video as always, please next time you can make a video between the NUX Trident (that has the amp simulation too) and ME90. Also I still wait a review for the NUX MG 30

[EzequielTejerina]

The product is great! It doesn't have a preamp but does have a cab sim, so if you use a preamp after de OD/Dist, it sounds great. There are also a few more things you can do with the computer application, even changing IRs and uploading your own. I still have mine and I'm so sad od section is not working. (It fell to the ground pretty bad)

[grrrahg]

Kill dry is used if you have a serial fx loop on your amp. Very useful.
