New Modulation pedal day

Post by Johno »

I was looking for an all in one modualtion pedal & this seemed to fit the bill. It has 8 effects.

It's a Nux Mod Core, I ordered it from China it arrived after 10 days costing me $35 / £23 DELIVERED :).

Had a play about with it last night for an hour or so & could not be happier. The build quality seems fairly good apart from the knobs being mounted on nylon pot shafts & the really poorly designed battery door. I use a daisy chain so no biggie for me. Switch seems decent & its all housed in a metal box. Seems sturdier than my Behringer RV600 which I bought 2nd hand 5 years ago & is still going strong after plenty of use, so have confidence this pedal should last a while. The pedal is smaller than a Boss & slightly bigger than an MXR.

The pedal has an effects selector switch plus Rate/Depth/Tweak knobs

The Tweak knobs responds depending which effect is selected, like this....

Chorus/ Mix
Flange/Phaser/ Feedback
Tremolo/Pan/ Width
Rotary/U-Vibe/Vibrato/ N/A

The pedal also has stereo ins & outs. Plus a switch Normal/T.Lock/Deluxe

I think the Normal/Deluxe settings is supposed to be Modern/Vintage...
The switch in the T.lock position locks the settings for you, so all knobs loose function. If you press & hold the switch down with the switch in the T.Lock postion, you can save that setting as a preset next time you power on the pedal.

The sounds in this thing are great, Rate & Depth knobs give you a lot of flexibility going from subtle to mental.

All in all you can't go wrong for the price.

Someone on youtube going through the settings if you're interested.

Nice,

I got a CE-5 the other week, which I'm happy with, but I also want a trem and vibrato, so this could be just the ticket.

I'd never heard of Nux until you mentioned them the other day.

They also do a bigger version with tap tempo (complete with awesome demo guy):

Looks great, especially for the money. I'm tempted by their delay version.
