User questions & answers

Question:	Does this include the power supply
Answer:	The answer is no. Does not come with a power supply, very few effects do. I use Trutone One Spots. They're about 20 bucks and they're great little adapters for effects.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this more of a vintage distortion sounding pedal or can i blaze high gain old school thrash metal on it
Answer:	It is a "Pre-Amp" in a box pedal... meant to sound like a vintage Plexi Marshall... you might be better served with an XTC Red or a Recto... but you can make those sounds if you fiddle with the plexi, and depending on what is going into it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Item page picture is the old model which sells for $29, not the deluxe model. the illustrations are of the flanger core pedal. what's going on here
Answer:	now only metal core deluxe in the market. we will update the pictures. thanks for your message.
Question:	Im using 9v battery to power my amp and no sound is coming out. The light is on so is this product defective or am i doing something wrong
Answer:	I use the adapter on mine and it works fine. Are you sure the battery is good? There may be enough juice to light the LED light, but not power the pedal. It is a cheap pedal. It may be defective???
Question:	Can I use this on a bass
Answer:	You can use practically any guitar pedal on a bass. But, because of the lower frequency, I would get a pedal designed specifically for bass guitar to ensure you don't get a "muddy" sound.

Question:	What are the dimensions
Answer:	12.6 x 4.3 x 2.5 inches
Question:	I see it has 2 outputs, but are the modulation effects in stereo
Answer:	Hello, Yes, this unit has 2 stereo outputs.
Question:	Is it battery operated

Two in One Overdrive Pedal

One of the most sought-after dual overdrive pedals produced in the mid '90s is now in one unique pedal design-with a pocket size. NUX Horseman pays homage to the legendary Centaur pedal. There are 3 dials for primary settings and 2 modes: Gold and Silver, and it offers massive headway usually requiring an 18v input.

Gold Mode mimics its>

NUX Unique Design

The sound is based on the Centaur's voltage converter circuit. But the Horseman's characteristic design is crafted with a built-in OP-AMP voltage-converter driving the 18V to OP-AMP. Higher voltage-supply orders-up more harmonics, and convincingly reproduces the sound of this unique pedal.

Clean Boost Another “classic” way to use the NUX Horseman. Very useful when used in combination with the amplifiers drive channel (or any other drive pedal). And, depending on the Gain - Output adjustment, it lets the Horseman be used as a clean boost. Dial-up a low-gain with a high output setting, and it adds mostly volume and minimal color to your sound.

Natural Distortion

Additionally, the controls can be set to distort the sound signal in the pedal, where two Schottky diodes can perform a waveform clipping. ( The germanium diodes are discontinued, we especially select the Schottky diodes to replicate the waveform clipping ) The "gain" knob is a double potentiometer (a "dual-ganged gain pot"), which controls bass and middle frequencies. Treble and volume are each controlled with separate knobs.

True/Buffer Bypass

NUX Horseman has an optional bypass mode. You can use the pedal in True Bypass mode to keep your signal untouched when the pedal is OFF in the chain. We highly recommend to select buffer bypass mode if you have more than 4 pedals connected together; switch to Buffer Bypass mode and there will be no signal loss in your pedal chain!

Push and hold the footswitch and power-up the pedal; the LED indicator will show which bypass mode is activated; RED - True Bypass / GREEN - Buffer Bypass.

Nux Brownie Mini Core Vintage British Distortion Guitar Pedal

Shopping for a British distortion pedal? Try NUX Brownie!

Classical British rock tones of 1970’s are packed into this little box.



How it works?

 

By using a hybrid of circuits, we create preamp and power tube distortion characteristics. You’ll be amazed to hear the warm and organic tone reproduced by it.

 

A special designed BJT input stage makes this distortion pedal breakup in a way when the preamp tube starts to distort. Also, Brownie has an asymmetrical clipping circuit with which you can simulate some of the characteristics of a tube amplifier. It can also keep the bottom tight by processing bass frequencies from getting muddy when they are distorted.

 

NUX Brownie uses a low-pass tone control filter to simulate the Variac effect (lower the voltage going into the amplifier) for rounding of your tone. The range of tone is controlled yet very useful in dialing the high end response.

 

The power clipping circuit is crafted from modern low noise op-amp and two red LED. It can create symmetrical clipping that distort both half of the signal and keep the sound smooth. True bypass circuits with a high quality TPDP mechanical foot switch makes the bypass signal clarity.
