I've been wanting to check out the Hebert preamp. Wanna see how it compared to my experience w/ Fractal's model (not good :ugh:).

Any thoughts on whether this will need a boost/TS OD type pedal to tighten things up? From the demos and the feel switch it doesn't seem like it but I've never played a KSR amp before so I don't know if they need or benefit from a boost/OD pedal.
I've been messing with a lot of preamp pedals lately, and I've found the vast majority need a boost to sound usable to me.

I'd say it depends on the power amp you're using with it, but most of them sound too loose and flubby. It's not an issue of having enough gain on tap, it's that most preamp pedals aren't tight enough on their own.

So I had to cancel my preorder. Some car-related shit came up, so fuck. :lol:

Oh well, hopefully some of you guys here preordered it and can give impressions.

Sorry to hear that! Hope everything works out with your car. One of our cats has to get major dental work next week. I thought about canceling because it will be a hefty vet bill but then I thought fuck it, my birthday is in the beginning of March and I’m making the Ceres a gift to myself.

I’ll let you know my thoughts on it then.

Another contender that seems really promising - Victory Kraken preamp! It's got tubez!

Cool. :D I'm still super interested, just need to deal with stuff before I go diving back in.

The Kraken pedal seems cool. I'd like to see more impressions on it.

Got an email from them yesterday. And they said maybe they will start shipping mid March. Something got to do with the delayed PCB. I'm also ready to pay for the balance.

Now you can start panicking. :lol:

Hoping it isn't too long of a wait.

Well, darn...I guess it will be a little bit longer then. I suppose I can zone out and stop incessantly checking for updates for a little bit.

Did you order early on or later? I ask because I ordered when they had around 50 left and haven’t received any status emails.

I have not heard anything though admittedly, I have not reached out either. The wait isn't a big deal but I'm suspecting we're all excited to try the Ceres out.
