NU-X 'Tube Man MKII' Mini Core Series Overdrive Effects Pedal

NU-X Mini Core Series Tube Man MK11 Overdrive Effects Pedal. Mini but Mighty!

Genuine Tube-like sound that makes it more than your average Tube Screamer! 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 it a lot gives you Distortion.

But there's a better way! Using an FET Transistor System, which already has overdrive and distortion capabilities is a better approach to maintain the genuine sound you get from an actual analog 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.
