The NUX NDS-2 Brownie Distortion recreates the iconic British dirt tones of the 70s and packs it into a single compact pedal. Utilising a unique hybrid of circuits allows this innovative device to create natural warm distortion that accurately replicates the breakup of a valve amplifier. Asymmetrical clipping generates additional harmonic content and lends a gritty edge to the tone. Combining an op-amp and 2 LEDs in the clipping circuit helps deliver distortion versatility to do smooth saturation as accurately as pure crunch. A clever inclusion is the low-pass tone control filter which simulates the Variac effect nicely rounding-off your tone. True bypass switching maintains your signal purity so your mammoth tones are kept entirely separate from your dry signal. This means pure character when engaged and no tonal bleed when disengaged. All housed in a robust enclosure and youre guaranteed huge tones time after time.

NUX
In the current JustPedals catalogue, NUX is represented by Multi-Effects Pedals, Overdrive Pedals and Delay Pedals. Current listings include Analog Delay, Plexi Crunch and Analog Chorus. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Distortion Pedals
Distortion pedals use stronger or more deliberate clipping than a typical overdrive, adding harmonics, compression and sustain. Some are voiced for amp-like crunch, others for high-gain rhythm or a deliberately abrasive texture. Gain, tone, presence, resonance and output controls determine how the pedal interacts with the amplifier and pickups; a blend or noise gate can preserve clarity in heavier settings. Placement changes the result, so check whether the design is intended to push an amp, run into a clean platform or feed a direct cabinet simulation.

Hybrid
Hybrid products combine analogue audio circuitry with digital control, conversion or processing. The useful question is which part of the signal path stays analogue and which functions—such as presets, filtering, modulation or USB—are handled digitally. This can provide hands-on response with modern recall, but latency, power and bypass behaviour vary. Check the signal path and routing rather than assuming the label describes the entire product.
True Bypass
True bypass removes the effect circuit from the audio path when bypassed, usually by mechanical, relay or switching circuitry. This can preserve the direct signal but does not automatically solve long-cable loading, and it may create a pop or leave no buffer for the rest of the board. Check the actual switching method, trails or spillover, input and output loading and the number of other true-bypass pedals in the chain.
