NU-X Tube Man MKII Overdrive Pedal

NU-X Tube Man MKII Overdrive Pedal Overview

Genuine Tube-like sound that makes it more than your average Screamer pedal! More gain! That was the overall goal. If you’re not playing through a real tube amp, cranked for overdrive, it’s difficult to get genuine tube overdrive sound. The original Tube Screamer pedals used an OP-AMP system, a basic circuitry that became popular for its “perfect amp” attributes. It had no distortion so it had to be overdriven or distorted by re-shaping the signal until it distorts (diode-clipping). Clipping it a little bit gives you Overdrive. Clipping is a lot gives you Distortion. But there’s a better way! Using a FET Transistor System, which already has overdrive and distortion capabilities is a better approach to maintain the genuine sound you get from an actual analogue tube amp. A FET allows you to bring out the harmonic attributes, and break up the distortion into a finer grit, the way a real tube does. Now, your leads will sing richer and longer, and your rhythm will be more open and expressive than ever before. It all culminates into a superbly dynamic overdrive, with crisp precise clarity that lets players cut through a dense mix, without losing fat mid-range.
