NUX NBK-5 Masamune Booster and Compressor Pedal

NUX NBK-5 Masamune Booster and Compressor Pedal (NBK 5)

Booster and Compressor Pedals are the gigging guitarist’s secret weapon.

Both pedals are now available in one convenient metal housing, and it comes with selectable signal routing. The Boost Section comes with Boost Level, Drive, and Hi-Cut controls. The Compressor Section comes with Komp Level, Sustain, Blend, and Clip controls. The Masamune has an external foot-switch jack Input, you can easily operate the pedal by using an additional remote switch.

NUX Masamune is a sound-crafter pedal

It forges your dry-signal, enhancing your sound before sending your signal to your amp, and/or any effects unit. The Booster adds beneficial color to your signal, and, if necessary, after you adjust the boost & drive levels, you can cut high frequencies on your Input signal with the Hi-Cut Toggle Switch.

Masamune’s Kompressor does a remarkable job managing and enhancing your signal: Komp Level knob adjusts the final Output level for the Compressor, perfectly balancing your Input and Output signals. The sustain knob adjusts the compression ratio and increases sustain. Higher sustain levels will squash your signal harder when you hit the strings and create a longer, richer sustain. The blend knob adjusts the compressor transparency from 50% to 100%, so you can dial in the exact amount of compressed dry-signal blend you want.

Clip Toggle allows you to choose the clipping range of your Input signal. The Toggle-UP position will squeeze the signal for voluminous sound, and Toggle-DOWN will open up more space on your clipping range.
