Is NUX the new BOSS?

@LeonTodd 4 года назад

Really impressed with what they're doing.

@hoosierdaddy2308 4 года назад

No sir. 😂 Sorry, but to beat boss they will have a long way to go I think in proving their worth. Not saying their bad at all, but as far as perception I think they'll have to really prove their wares. 😀👍

@peterschmidt9942 4 года назад

I don't think they're even close. Boss have been doing it for so long and so well (from a build point of view), that every other pedal is compared against that standard. How many other pedals from the 80's can you say are still working fine without being repaired? In terms of affordability, they're on the right track. NUX are bringing out some good affordable options. It's a great time to be a guitar player with options and not have to take out a second mortgage for gear..

@josefromankiewicz3513 Год назад

Thx for the video! Cool stuff! Where's your volume poti on your fender all the way? On my Les Paul this pedal only crunches and the sound will break off when the guitar volume is at 10. Any idea where the fault is?

@harleyhexxe9806 3 года назад

I know this is an old post, but it just came across my feed and had to check it out. I have one of these on my NUX pedal board, just after the OD and Distortion on the Cerberus pedal, and it's a KILLER! This adds an element to the sound that is missing, and it's a good one. I have an original Centaur to compare it to, and the question is: Is it as good as the Centaur? I'll say this, it's close, but not an exact duplicate. It's not bad at all actually, and for the price, you'd be hard pressed to do better. Good video Leon!

Sounded great! What amp were you running it in front of? Or was it going into the front of your Axe FX 3? I've been thinking of trying my Tumnus Deluxe in front of the Axe, but I'm not sure if there's anything I need to be aware of before trying that.

@jremi Год назад

I bought this pedal a couple of years ago and I just love it. Personally, It was a kind of revelation and it made me realize the klon type sound is what I was unknowingly looking for. There might be better pedals to get that sound, but I don’t see the need to change. I plug it in front of my Yamaha THR-10 with a light crunch setting and it sounds amazing.

@LeonTodd Год назад

Great tone and great value!

@smrii2487 2 года назад

I love this pedal! My only complaint is that the the output is SO LOUD. You go from a basically inaudible at 6.5 o'clock and then louder than anything in the mix or your pedal board at 7oclock.

@scoobydoo936 4 года назад

I tried out Nux around 2012/13 I guess, they were kinda new on the market. I got myself 2 stomp boxes and I was really disappointed, both broke down in a matter of 2 weeks and weren’t at all road proof. I called them up to tell them what was wrong with their pedals, they were very kind and send me replacements, however they too broke down soon and I didn’t bother wasting any more time. I really hope they have improved their QC by now, because they did sound solid for the money they cost, I mean you can’t expect more from inexpensive pedals sound wise, maybe just a bit more durability.

@witeshade 4 года назад

Sounds nice with the drive up high. The low drive settings sound both too much and too little at the same time. Like the breakup sounds more like a mistake than a specific tone. The higher gain sounds seemed more deliberate. Then again, in the mix it did sound quite good even at the lower gain settings.

Funny stuff happens in and out of a mix hey. So many times I'll try a pedal and go "meh" but then it will work in a track, and vice versa.

@hoosierdaddy2308 4 года назад

Hey my Aussie buddy. I'm loving that yjm strat. What a beautiful guitar. It looks almost an Ice silver blue color on my TV. Very cool. One dumb questiom: Did you change the nut from a brass to something else, and if so why may I ask? I ask because I am thinking of getting a brass nut for my kinda Strat. A 1991 or 2 SV Ibanez which has a small V neck profile and two point gold Gotoh trem like the Fender American trems basically. It also has locking Gold matching tuners and gold pickup bezels, so I'm thinking to dress it up I'll install Gold EVO frets and a brass nut. It needs a new fret job anyway. Might as well use matching frets. Even that Nux overdrive would match. Hahaha.. 😂 It sounds good to me. You use your axeFx with this? Keep up the great vids. I'm addicted to your channel sir. 😂 If I'm watching you I'm not watching someone else because of the value you bring. Most appreciated.💝👍💝👍👍👍

@LeonTodd 4 года назад

Brass but changed for bone. I went up a string gauge from stock so it was easier to pop in a new nut TBH.

@peterschmidt9942 4 года назад

Hoosier Daddy Brass nuts seemed to be one of those things that were done in the late 70's/80's. The reasoning behind it was that the open strings would sound more like the fretted notes. I'm not too sure whether I noticed it that much, or whether it sounded better, just slightly different. They're definitely harder to make than a bone nut. I'm actually in the process of recreating a black LP copy I had back in the day with a brass nut & Bill Lawrence pickups. What can I say, I'm nostalgic!

@hoosierdaddy2308 4 года назад

@@peterschmidt9942 Yes. I lived back then too and have had one on an old Charvel from back in the early 80s. It did sewm to help to me with sustain, at least with open strings. I think the biggest contributer to good tone in my almost 40 years of experience is first pickup, then nut and bridge. Just my two cents. I have no scientific proof, but I do believe it's probably true, especially since that is what the strings have the most effect and contact with. Other stuff like neck thickness which doesn't rob the strings of vibration if the neck is thick, etc, I believe also matter. 👍😀👍

@peterschmidt9942 4 года назад

@@hoosierdaddy2308 Mate, I reckon you're spot on with that. Pickups have the biggest impact to sound (even just setting them up correctly makes a difference). The rest like neck profiles etc are player comfort. A guitar that's uncomfortable to play isn't worth shit if it's not setup to play! While strings do change the sound and maybe the way it plays, I couldn't give two shits these days what type of strings are on a guitar. I just buy what's on special and as long as they don't break too often, I'm happy. That's what the tone knobs on your amp are for!

I do believe this little guitar effects box is a "clone or take off" of the Iron Horseman distortion pedal? (Which is my all time favorite distortion pedal especially V.2). I'd say this NUX has bright to brittle overtones, worse, is the "unwanted" fuzz I'm hearing. It's like it doesn't keep it's tone based on the settings. must be inexpensive.

@peterschmidt9942 4 года назад

Never understood the interest and why a Klon demands such a high price on the used marked. I get that originals are rare, but there's nothing very hard about the circuit (although unique at the time) or hard to find parts. I've always found it a lead sort of pedal as with rhythm it sounds too fuzzy for my liking. With this pedal: the gold mode sounds like a Klon, but for me the silver mode is where it's at. Glad to see there's a lot of cheaper options out there now if you're into this sort of thing.

@LeonTodd 4 года назад

I think I like the silver mode more too

@fuckenps3 3 года назад

I think it's mostly famous for bringing attention to the importance of clean boost, clean/overdrive blending, and natural clipping. Additionally its unique power converter setup of 27v created considerable 'headroom'. It was also one of the first boutique pedals, with an unorthodox story. After a few endorsements from famous guitarists later, legend does the rest...

not to dis the pedal but that's a great sounding strat. my guess is that the pickups are set fairly low. this seems to make a more stratlike tone. i'v been testing this theory and it does change the tone but if it's better or just different I can't say. I've got a regular golden horsie and I like it quite a lot. nice demo and playing. You get a like. Rock on!
