What's going on everybody?!? SeanPierceJohnson here and welcome to another episode of "Stompbox Saturday"! On the stompin' block this week is the Horseman overdrive by NUX.
By now, the Klon centaur has become LEGENDARY...for one reason or another. But many players will never own one thanks to their insane price tags and the feet-dragging on the part of their builder to release new versions of the KTR or other pedals. Because of this the KLONE market has become saturated with new pedals seeking to replicate the classic tones and offer them at more affordable prices.
Enter NUX and the Horseman. The Horseman is a brave move on the part of NU-X. Chinese companies already have a hard time as it is being taken seriously but NUX has shown us over the last couple of years that we can expect them to make great pedals and sell them at great prices. And the Horseman continues that by offering a TWO types of Centaur-style overdrive in ONE mini pedal!
The Horseman uses a new diode to create the clipping in the overdrive and provides both Gold and Silver variations of the circuit.
Let's hear it and have some fun!

Really enjoyed the way you do reviews and am now a subscriber. Great job sir. Also I will be buying this pedal. You've put me over the top on wanting to purchase it.

@SeanPierceJohnson 4 года назад

Thanks Keith! Glad to have you here. If you can, join us for the live stream sometime. Thanks for Subscribing and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays

@mattgilbert7347 4 года назад

I put together an all-NUX pedalboard, just for fun - and it's great! Masamune>Monterey>Morningstar>Horseman>Time Force>Mod Core Deluxe>Atlantic>Loop Core Deluxe>Amp(s) and/or Solid Studio>Mixer>PA I still use my "secret weapon" pedal in front of all that. I'd tell you, but then I'd have to send you to the Black Lodge.

@thedeadxtras9927 Год назад

Sounds decent I’ve been impressed with the NUX pedals I’ve purchased, Tape Core Deluxe an excellent pedal definitely my favourite, Mod Core Deluxe is a good multi modulation pedal for its price, most modulation styles are decent, Morning Star a great drive pedal totally suits my guitar style and love using.

@Jaysteenn 4 года назад

Awsome demo and cool pedal! I played the other night with two other guitar players and I think the only overdrive I stepped on the whole time was my Tumnus Deluxe. There is something special about the Klon style circuits.

@SeanPierceJohnson 4 года назад

you know there is...i'd love to play a legit Klon if it wasn't insanely expensive and if Bill Finnegan didn't get any of my money

@guitmickify 4 года назад

Hey Sean, that's a great sounding pedal, I like both sides as well

@SeanPierceJohnson 4 года назад

Mickey Settlemire thanks Mickey 👍 I’ve been playing it quite extensively since I wrapped this video and it still remains hard to decide which mode is my favorite. One bonus though: since it’s cheap I could get another and have a silver and gold Centaur on a board.

Half of my board is a NU>X fest atm. The pedals are affordable and sound good.

@jburdsinfuse 4 года назад

Great playing! These sound like they have a lot more gain than the normal Klon clones. I’ve heard other demos and there was a lot of noise...kind of a hallmark of “affordable” pedals.

@SeanPierceJohnson 4 года назад

maybe, i've only ever heard an actual Klon but played plenthy klones. the Horseman is surprisingly quiet. NUX does a good job.

@DeadmanDance 4 года назад

Your reviews are the best👌💜 now I have this urge to feel how the nux goes with my violin, thanks 😂🤘

@SeanPierceJohnson 4 года назад

ooooo...that would be something I'd like to hear! and thank you for the kind words.

@DeadmanDance 4 года назад

@@SeanPierceJohnson got some videos on my channel, but it's a tube screamer plus some fuzz 💜

@TheElrondo 2 года назад

Thumbs up. Great demo of the pedal. It's great you mentioned the NUX Blog with the background information to the pedal. I own 6 Klon Clones and the Horseman is one of my favorites. If i can make a steal on a used Horseman i'm going to swap the Schottky diodes to the magic diodes. Just for fun 😁

@SeanPierceJohnson 2 года назад

very nice! yeah, this is a true hidden gem amongst the endless amount of cheap Klones. it certainly wouldn't put you out a lot of money to try one out WITH the "magic diodes".

@silviolutti1522 2 года назад

Hello. Can you tell me if the nux horseman is noisy once it is turned on? I'm talking about rustle, not volume. Thank you.

@TheElrondo 2 года назад

@@silviolutti1522 i don't have any issues beeing noisy, but i don't run it on very high gain.

@silviolutti1522 2 года назад

Sorry, I don't understand your answer. I wanted to know if when it is on, without ringing, if it has a background noise.

@ncreb86 4 года назад

Subscribed! Very in-depth review. I’m definitely gonna have to check out this pedal and other NUX pedals.

@SeanPierceJohnson 4 года назад

Thanks my friend! I have several other NUX videos on the channel so be sure to check those out. I'd recommend the Cerberus demo to start. That thing is unreal!

@noiselabproject9659 9 месяцев назад

Nice demo. I ordered one earlier they seem great and ......... just a stupid Idea : get 4 of them and then chain them and then .......... some full on 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse shall ensue I`m sure ! hah hah

@silviolutti1522 2 года назад

Hi, thank you for posting this video. The sound of this pedal is really very nice and I really like it, but before buying it I wanted to ask you if the pedal is noisy when you turn it on, if it has background hiss regardless of the amount of gain set. Sorry if I ask you but I can't figure it out from the video. I thank you.

@SeanPierceJohnson 2 года назад

Hey Silvio! Thanks for watching the video and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Any overdrive/distortion pedal is going to produce SOME background noise. It can be as little as a slight hum one second and then can be amplified because of your pickups, proximity to lights and other electrical sources, and whatever other pedals you have on in the chain. Luckily, this one produces very little noise that will become a distraction. Hope that helps!

@silviolutti1522 2 года назад

Hi, thanks for answering me. Greetings from Italy!

@sebastionhawk5565 4 года назад

it seems to boost middle well, even at lowest gain

@SeanPierceJohnson 4 года назад

yep, the Klon has a mid bump but not the kind that a TS drive would have. it's mostly a bump in the Low Mids.

@sebastionhawk5565 4 года назад

@@SeanPierceJohnson that sounds really accurate...I was thinking that it has a real middle boost, but, i could not put my finger on whether it was really a low or middle boost, and, it sounded closer to the "mids." Low mids makes sense. Have you ever tried the JHS spooky mids? It seems that it could do this type of thing REALLY well. The JHS guy was showing it in a vid, and, I heard some REALLY close Alex Lifeson tones coming from paying around with that low-mid are i think...

@covalandi 11 месяцев назад

What is better in your opinion: Nux horseman or Nux plexi drive?

@SeanPierceJohnson 11 месяцев назад

I've never played the Plexi Drive so I can't compare the two. But based on their names one is a Marshall and one is a Klon...two completely different pedals.

@silviolutti1522 3 года назад

This pedal it's analog or digital? Smd components?

@SeanPierceJohnson 3 года назад

Like most drives it is analog. There may be some digital stuff to switch the modes and change the circuit but the clipping is analog. And yes, the pedal has surface mount components. You can’t have a pedal this small without there being some. But if you liked the sound, don’t let that scare you away.

@Twirlyhead 2 месяца назад

I have one and it's OK but I'm not in love with it. Doesn't have the _air_ that I hear in a Klon.

@DJ7tringGuitar 4 года назад

It's too bad they didn't send you a 2nd. Could've tried stacking them in opposite modes

do you also say "frodrick"?

@LevitatorMusic 3 года назад

@@SeanPierceJohnson lol. I've mostly heard it pronounced like "new-x" but obviously some people pronounce it "nux" as it's spelled. In the movie Young Frankenstein with Gene Wilder, his character is trying to distance himself from his dark roots and be taken seriously as a scientist so he pronounces his name differently and this scene popped into my head lol. kind of obscure, i know lol. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nxxSIX3fmmo.html
