KSR Ceres One: Heaviest High Gain Guitar Pedal? Full Demo & Mix
Can a mini preamp replace an amp head? Here’s the KSR Ceres One Mini across all three gain modes with a full mix and isolated tones. Skip to the tones and settings below.
This one is heavy… This Ceres One mini preamp pedal from @ProtoplasmaKSR is KILLER!
I have been addicted to playing this high gain preamp pedal since the moment I took it out of the box, and it is absolutely a pillar of my pedalboard as of now.

Why the Ceres One Mini is a killer option:**
– Compact version of the full Ceres series, offering three gain channels + a clean channel in one pedal.
– Clean channel mode means you can plug fuzzes or extra drives in front and treat this as a real all-in-one rig hub (which is exactly how I’ve got it setup).
– Built for direct to power amp or into your return loop, perfect for modern setups or fly rigs.
– Feel switch (Fat / Tight / Thick) + Mode toggle (Ares/Ortho Crunch, Artemis/Gemini Red, Colossus Lead) give you serious flexibility.
– For the demo blend I used the middle “Artemis/Gemini Red” channel toggle which gave me that satisfying gain.

Let me know what part of the KSR Amps Ceres One tone stood out to you the most, I read every comment!
had it's bigger brother. I want the vesta version of this 😀
Yeah!!! This is a really sick pedal!!! I'd say amps can be retired if pedals like this come along! ????????
Hey man, that little monster breathes fire.
You know what would be really interesting? If you made a video comparing the Joyo Rigel with this Ceres pedal, since rumor has it the Joyo is a clone.
You can connect both pedals to your interface and use the same IR, it could be from York Audio or similar. Cheers.
