NUX NBK-5 Masamune Booster & Kompressor

We love the two-knob effects pedals in the Verdugo Series Stompbox lineup from our friends at NUX, and we’ve got a sweet front-of-chain unit that will transform your tone. The NBK-5 Masamune Booster & Kompressor features two effects in one box, as so all the Verdugo series, changing your initial input signal in the best of ways. Bring the funk, boost your volume, breakup your amp – they’re all possible with this gleaming white beauty!

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. 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 adjusts the final Output level for the Compressor, perfectly balancing your Input and Output signals. Sustain adjusts the compression ratio, and increases sustain. Higher sustain levels will squash your signal harder when you hit the strings and creates a longer, richer sustain. Blend adjusts the compressor transparency from 50% to 100%, so you can dial-in the exact amount of compressed dry-signal blend you want.

There’s also a Clip Toggle that 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. There are a ton of options and tones here in the NBK-5 Masamune Booster & Kompressor – be sure to visit the NUX website for ALL the info on this one.
