NUX NBK-5 Masamune Dual Effects Pedal – Analog Compressor & Clean Boost with Blend Control
Unlock a massive range of tonal possibilities with the NUX NBK-5 Masamune Booster & Kompressor Dual Switch Effects Pedal. This powerful, versatile unit combines two essential, high-quality analog circuits—a transparent Clean Booster and a studio-grade Kompressor—into a single, compact, and road-ready enclosure. Whether you’re a guitarist or bassist, the Masamune is designed to manage, shape, and push your tone to perfection.
Channel 1: Studio-Grade Kompressor
The Masamune’s Kompressor circuit does a remarkable job managing your signal dynamics, offering transparent or heavy signal squashing based on your needs. It is designed to enhance sustain and balance your sound, making it perfect for clean passages, funk rhythms, or pushing leads forward.
- Komp Level: Adjusts the final output level for the compressor circuit, allowing you to perfectly balance the compressed signal with your uncompressed tone.
- Sustain: Controls the compression ratio. Higher settings will “squash” the signal harder, creating a longer, richer, and more controlled sustain.
- Blend: This crucial knob allows you to adjust the compressor transparency from 50% (half wet/dry mix) to 100% (fully compressed), giving you the versatility to dial in the exact amount of compressed dry-signal blend you desire, preserving natural attack dynamics.
Channel 2: Built-in Clean Booster
The Masamune also includes an independent, switchable Clean Booster (often a necessary feature for cutting through a mix or hitting the front end of an amp). This booster circuit is designed to be highly transparent, amplifying your signal without coloring your core tone. Use it to stack with the compressor for added girth or activate it independently for a clean volume jump during solos.
All-in-One Tonal Tool
The dual-footswitch layout allows you to engage the Compressor and Booster independently or simultaneously. This combination of compression and clean gain makes the NUX Masamune an indispensable tool for achieving professional-level dynamic control and volume shaping on stage or in the studio.
