i keep my modest little basement 'studio' on a strict budget. Its nice when some gear comes along that sounds good and doesnt bust a hole in the wallet.
I think there a few levels of gear: the really cheap, doesnt-sound-good-at-all- knockoff, the cheap-made-but-sound-good stuff, and the sound-good- and built-like-a-tank (and also $$) stuff. Realisitically, I think most of us, like myself, fall into the middle category. Unless you're running a pro studio, and gigging/ touring regularly, gear like this is quite sufficient. Good vid as always man, thanks!
For so little money this pedal is a really great pedal, it’s very well built, looks great, sounds great, has plenty editing features especially when using the app. Love using mine a little too much sometimes I have to make myself turn it off even I don’t want to. Well worth the money.
This is really great. It's something of the closest to a real tape delay.... and then the price. GET IT
It's actually very good, warm but not muddy. Feedbacks like a dream so great for fx noises.
I have a dozen of delay pedals, some very high end and very good but this one is the only to really imitate perfecly a real (reel) tape delay. I cannot explain why but when I use it I see a spinning tape in front of my eyes, a strange case of hallucination !
That is a GREAT sounding echo unit. I reckon they got the parameters just right on that one.
I expected very little given the price and it knocked my socks off!
I'm a huge fan of the roland RE-21 space echo and the boss RE-20. The fact that you can plug this into a computer and modulate parameters is pretty killer. Solid pedal. I actually just bought one for my Melodica that i modded to be electric. 😛
Electric Melodica! Where can I hear this?
@@LeonTodd I will post a few videos. One of me adding the Piezo pick up, and then another once i receive the Boss RE-20. I'm still waiting for the pick ups to come in the mail
@@LeonTodd shit I just noticed my phone changed modding to modded. Damn auto correct. Yeah as soon as I get that shit it the mail, i'll post videos. I'm surprised how many people are interested in an electric melodica.
Had one of these. Sounds ok but cheap build that failed within 2 weeks. Got the Belle Epoch now there's no looking back!
I love how it doesn’t interfere with the original guitar signal and complements the signal beautifully! Thanks for the post Leon!
absolutely great, even at 150€ it would be nice. Bought it 68€! insane price. tap delay allows to come over 1 second which is also cool and as tempo is set, you can still change the modes and it keeps working.
what can I say more ? sound is really awesome and I'd be interrested in hearing a shootout with the real space echo Roland.
Definitely a great pedal! That gives you a lot more than the Roland it's modeled after
Soooo cheap too
Nice demo and killer licks man!
Great at any price. For the actual price this thing is unbelievable.
thx mate, was a great help to decide wheteher to buy or not... (obviously buy!) :-)
is it actually possible to store the settings (like activated sync and auto tap) to use the pedal without a computer?
Thank you for the demo, this pedal is on MF's for the SDOTD for 59 US... sold.
Happy Pickin'
It's a bargain alright
Hi there. I'm new to your channel but I definitely think you made it sound great! I came upon your video by searching for a cheap echo tape type pedal, glad I found it and nice to learn about this pedal. It's definitely a contender in my search so far. I'll be checking out more of your channel too. Thanks!
It's a good one. Computer editor brings it to life
Hey Leon, EXCELLENT review. Incredibly thorough with great musicianship on top of it. I've actually bought 2 pieces of NUX gear based on great youtube reviews (a B2 wireless system and a mini practice amp) and both were surprisingly garbage. I even returned and repurchased to give them the benefit of the doubt but had the same dismal results. On top of that their customer service was HORRIBLE. So, not to be a downer, but I'd advise anyone watching that NUX quality and customer service is a pretty bad and what they receive will not be the same quality that they provide to online reviewers. NUX is cheap. And you get what you pay for.
That's a shame to here. I'm road testing a B2 at the moment so hopefully it holds up.
It's unfortunate that you have to hook it up to a computer to access wow and flutter and saturation. The larger DD-7 version allows you to click down on the select knob to access those parameters right from the pedal.
Holy cow! Man these new cheap digital pedals just keep getting better and better all the time! I personally lean more towards the Echoplex tape delay side, but I would have absolutely no complaints having this handy.
Thanks for the demo! Cheers!
This is probably my favourite "cheap" pedal
@@LeonTodd I'm still scratching my head over how awesome it sounds! I've played on the actual Space Echo pedal. This thing nails it good enough to my ears.
@@EasyHeat "close enough for rock'n'roll" with change to spare!
Wow. Sounds really cool. Love the different sounds you were getting from it. But your guitar playing is amazing. Very talented guy. Thanks for sharing buddy. Top man 👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸
Thanks a lot!
Great sounding pedal. But I hate that you have to hook it up to a computer to get all it offers.
The reason I prefer individual effect pedals over multieffect unities is quick access to all parameters. And this one fails to deliver that.
First class demo Leon. Thanks.
This pedal is almost takes 2 people to operate it, the guitarist using and someone behind the curtain tweaking it....lol. Sounds like it might be the perfect pedal for someone wanting to copy or simulate the David Gilmour tone, for the price $99 new it beats the crap out of the Keeley Dark Side pedal $299 new. It's Very Cool pedal.
to be fair the Keeley does quite a bit more than this does. Not trying to downplay how good this sounds, especially for the money, but the Dark Side pedal has a fair amount of effects packed into it. And no, I cant possibly afford it lol
@Dave Young Absolutely the Keeley is a much better pedal and it should be for costing 3 times as much, but just listening to the NUX pedal and seeing what all it can do, for someone like me a " bedroom hack" 🤣🤣it's a better deal. Even used the Dark Side is well over $200 bucks where you can get one of these used for around $50 and less.
i know its 2 years later but WOW what a demo - i read after editing you can save the edit to the 1-7 slot on the pedal you did not show this in the vid cheers anyway
I've got one and have more Nux pedals they are pretty good for the price I paid $120 for mine I'm in Australia ,I like your videos too bro awesome stuff
Thanks mate. They're great value for money
@@LeonTodd I did a cover using Nux Metal Core pedal ua-cam.com/video/4APn7Lq7PhA/v-deo.html
Can you adjust Wow/Flutter/etc & then SAVE it all on the Pedal so ya don’t have to drag a LapTop to the Gig?!
Yes
@@danielrogers6492 Please share how to save software settings to the pedal.
Sounds really good 😊 you should try the hotone ampero! For £369 it sounds killer. Bargain for something that has dual dsp. And this is coming from an axe fx user.
Too bad you need a computer again. When I play guitar with an amp and pedals I hate having to bring a computer close, switch it on, run the software, plug the pedal to the computer, tweak settings, etc.
Great demo of a cool pedal. So, an expression pedal can be used to change the tape head speed like back in the day? Thanks.
I overlooked that part of it - yes you're correct!
Leon Todd Hi Leon. That’s really impressive. Lot of bang for the buck.
Hello,
Congratulations
Thanks to your really professional demo I am really enjoying this NUX TAPE CORE very much.
I also tried ATLANTIC from NUX and I must say that they are really working very well.
I should buy a stereo echo to pair with my tc flascback delay.
What do you think about it? Is it more suitable t-rex replay stereo, thera echo boss stereo or this nux tape core (mono input - stereo output)?
The problem in my case is that it is not stereo in but it works really well.
For what it costs maybe it is better to buy 2 and do the double line with the other stereo effects that I already have in this sequence: VESTA FIRE STEREO CHORUS - TC FLASCH BACK STEREO - 2 pieces NUX TAPE CHORE? - TC LOOPER FIRM X2.
What do you think about it?
I subscribed to your VERY INTERESTING AND PROFESSIONAL channel.
Thank you very much
Finally, I get to imitate Mick Jones in an affordable way
Great demo! Thanks a lot Leon
1st demo was like Hawkwinds Silver Machine :-)
I love how this sounds, but is it the same as the tape delay in the mg 300?thanks,
Can it keep the config when you unplug from the computer???
excellent review- wondering how the tones compare to my Strymon El Cap...btw did you run the Nux in the EFX loop of the AxeFx 3? sounded phenomenal
Yes, Axe for all the amp tones. For the money this little thing is very impressive.
How do you get onto the editor ? Can’t seem to find it on the NUX online page !?
Sounds great for the money
Sounds good to me 🤙
Does it have stereo ping pong delay ?
The smile on your face kinda says it all really lol. Nux are really knocking it out of the park for guys like myself. Had a period of about 3-4 years where I let music slip away, thanks to brands like this (and Afterpay lol) I've been able to accumulate some gig worthy gear really quickly and for bugger all money. These videos on budget gear are seriously valuable and important to me, really love your work mate! 🤘🖤
That means a lot mate. i realise not everyone has big dollars for heaps of gear and it's something i want to work on going forward.
I'm just happy to be playing again bro, I can upgrade bits and pieces as I go. All I needed was a decent selection of base tones to get me started, and I just ordered a bunch of stuff this afternoon to start building my pedalboard rig (specifically for DI). You definitely made me want that Nano attack, that's probably my dream boost pedal now!
@@RubyD80 that's the best attitude to have. Easy to lose track of how fun playing is.
Can anybody point me somewhere I can download the editor software? The NUX website keeps giving me a 404
Good vid. Nice pedal.
Le son clair ,n existe pas chez vous ?
Its a great sounding delay pedal for the little money it costs.
Great.
Are the app settings possible to save to the pedal, or do you have to connect the app every time you want to add some wow and flutter? I tried the app but the Load/Save buttons seems just save a settings file to the computer.
Truthfully even the three and four hundred dollar multi tap delays don't sound as good as this. I was surprised when I got mine and I sold my fancy over priced giant pedals , they're useless space hogs now. I bought them just for the multi tap delays and they don't do this good a job at multi tap note values and sync, in fact, they are non-adjustable parameters ...... touché pricey junk!
Pronounced "Noo-ex".
imagine putting all that time and money into a company with excellent and affordable products just to have all the schlubs call is NUCKS.
