The NUX Metal Core Deluxe MKII is a high gain preamp pedal that gives you all the metal you need in one compact pedal. “You can’t destroy the Metal!” The Metal Core Deluxe MKII has 3 great whopping sounding replica preamps for you to select from. Utilising NUX’s Impulse response, you can go ampless as it simulates the projection a cabinet would give you.

3 Preamps

The Duo Rect is a digital recreation of the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, a powerful amp head that NUX have digitally simulated so that you can sound like Metallica, Soundgarden, Blink 182, and early Foo Fighters. This preamp will give you that versatile ‘90s American tonal palette for you to recreate famous punk, grunge, and metal sounds.

The Fireman is NUX’s digital take on the Friedman BE-100 that was responsible for carrying the signature sonic sound of Eddie Van Halen. This preamp will also give you that high gain, dry, and explosive sound of British rock at its finest.

The VH4 harnesses an incredible range of tone, based on the Diezel Amp VH4, you can produce a deep, fat, and fiery sound to blast the doors wide open. The versatility of this preamp makes it ideal for use in a studio or for someone who is wanting to achieve high-gain, beefy tones without losing the high-end.    

Key Features

  • USB-C Port – To easily use the MetalCore editing software to utilise the full capabilities this little pedal has to offer.
  • True-Bypass or Buffer-Bypass – Easy to fit on you pedal board, adding more versatile options for you to harness an exciting sonic palette.

Preamp & DI Pedals

A preamp brings an instrument signal to a controlled level and shapes its impedance, gain and frequency balance before amplification or recording. A DI converts the signal for a balanced, low-impedance connection and may include ground lift, pad and transformer isolation. Combined units can add drive, cabinet filtering, effects loops and parallel outputs while keeping the direct path stable.

Tags

Digital

Converts the signal or control process into numerical data for algorithmic processing. Digital designs can provide precise timing, long memory, complex routing and repeatable presets; sample rate, conversion, internal resolution and latency influence fidelity and response.

Distortion

Clips the waveform firmly and adds a dense series of harmonics with compression and sustain. The clipping devices, gain stages and tone filters determine whether the result is tight, smooth, mid-focused, scooped, grainy or deliberately abrasive.

IR Loader

Convolves the signal with an impulse response, a captured measurement of a cabinet, speaker, microphone, room or other linear system. File length, sample rate, latency, storage and routing determine the detail of the captured response and how flexibly it can be combined.

USB

Provides a Universal Serial Bus connection for power, audio, MIDI, firmware or editing data. The supported USB class and connector do not by themselves show its purpose; channel count, sample format, host compatibility and power demand define the actual function.
