Cestus sounds killer and your playing is awesome !!! Love the way you demo the pedals and talk about the ins and outs of each of the pedals in the Mythos line up.
Question for the masses... If you have a fuzz and treble booster (both wanting to see guitar first w/ no buffers) what order do you run those two pedals? I have experimented with both and never really landed on a preference. Signal path context is everything in this case, but curious what the other viewers have tried and enjoyed?
Does it accentuate any frequencies in particular? I’m looking for something to brighten up my PAF loaded telecaster. Cutting bass early in the chain helps but the top end is still a little dull. Thanks!
I’ve used lots of treble booster pedals and they all push this really distinct upper mid range that will almost definitely both brighten up your guitar and make it less dull. Your amp is a factor too though as dirty amps are usually the go to. The clean tones when you roll down the volume on your guitar are similar to a vintage style fuzz as well, so they do this really nice chimey clean tone (see literally any Brian May clean ish tone)
This kind of circuit is typically more of an 'effect' for making lead parts jump out. I'd try something like the EQD Arrows, DOD 410, Zvex Super Hard On, or even a Boss Blues Driver - of course, you could just swap out the guitar's pots/pickups too.
I have my cestus in front of a dual hot cake into the benson delay into my AC15 and it’s rock and roll all day long really inspiring tones. Thanks Zack!
I love my Cestus, does the treble booster thing well. I have used/owned a lot of boutique treble boosters. Silicon definitely has its own vibe, and to my ears and fingers feels like a great treble booster.
Im convinced everything you make is incredible! I have a Golden Fleece and i got a Joey Landreth Mjolnir on from the Brothers Landreth show in Nottingham and ive not been able to leave it alone, it might be treble booster time!
Really like both of the switch positions more than the regular. The bottom setting almost seems like it's got that brown tone to it a bit, and I like it.

This has a permanent place on my pedalboard, picked it up a couple weeks ago back, and not stopped playing since. It’s class.
Thank you!
It’s knocked the Tumnus off my board. Kind of different pedals, I know. It goes in front of the Hot Cake.
Amps - VOX AC15, Princeton 65.
Glorious!
People don’t talk about how great this works for quiet rigs. Amp set to nothing, use it into an overdrive and it helps the amp feel alive
Welp, there goes 2 bills... I appreciate the honest assessment. Love your stuff 🍻
Excellent sounding pedal and demo.
Hey Zach - you should play more guitar on the RUclipss - you're a terrific player. Was that recorded with the Neural plugins?
Yes all neural! And thank you!
Great sound! Thanks for this series. Peace
Thanks for watching!

Just a matter of taste, I think a lot of people run the treble booster first
@@MythosPedals Thank you for the feedback, content, and contributions to the music community!
I'd do the full range and the treble boost on two Parallel circuits with a blend pot and that's all
wow...

Another Cestus into a Hotcake user….Wow!
reuse the name of a previous dud product , thats how you start a myth !
I use my Cestus to push a late 60s German Halifax Z (Hofner) Fuzz Wah.
That opening tone is THICK! Excellent. Never done a true treble booster. But man I love Mythos.

Similar to me! Cestus into Hot cake into Vox.
Man, this sounds great on all cap settings.

Amazing!
All i need Is a flanger/corus, and i could extensively make a mythos only pedalboard.😅

👍🏿🤘
How it work a cry baby in front of it?
Ehhh Haven't tried it but I would imagine it wouldnt play well with it, ala a vintage Fuzz style circuit
thanks for sharing
