In this video I took two KSR pedals out for a proper test drive: the Vesta three-channel preamp and the Eros boost/overdrive. I don’t review pedals all the time, so I approached this the way I’d actually use them in the real world—plug in, get sounds fast, and see if they feel like “a rig” instead of a science project. The Vesta looks like a lot at first, but it’s basically three rows = three channels: clean up top, rhythm in the middle, lead on the bottom. I ran it like a true preamp into a Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170 and an Orange 2x12, and it was shockingly easy to dial in a usable clean, a tight chunky rhythm tone, and a smoother lead sound. Then I switched over to the Eros in front of a KSR Gemini capture in the Quad Cortex (no cab), into the same PowerStage/Orange 2x12 setup with an SM57. I set everything at noon like Kyle told me—because this is not “just another Tube Screamer”—and it immediately tightened the low end, added punch, and brought the tone to life without getting overly fizzy or dumping a pile of distortion on top. Between the mode/feel options and the active EQ, it can be clean boost, a little grit, or full-on dirt, and honestly it’s one of the few boost pedals that actually impressed me.
