The mid-1990s featured the launch of one of the guitar world’s most sought-after pedals, celebrated for its dual-overdrive capability and unique character. The NUX Horseman captures the historic musical mythos and distills it into a pocket-sized powerhouse that invokes an updated and enhanced version of the dual-overdrive aural alchemy that defined its iconic pedal predecessor. Its Treble, Output, and Gain controls give you the full suite of clean boosts and natural distortions that the op-amp design of the original’s voltage-converter circuit evoked. NUX hand-selected the Schottky diodes of the Horseman pedal, to faithfully emulate the indelible waveform-clipping output that the original’s now-discontinued germanium diodes were responsible for producing. But Sweetwater’s 6-string sorcerers agree that the NUX Horseman’s Gold and Silver modes are what really set this centaur apart from the pack. While the Gold mode harkens to the sounds of its namesake ancestor, so too does the Silver mode, conjuring the harmonic-rich and high-headroom sonics of the past-version’s 18-volt design, without the need for upping the voltage supplied to the Horseman. Plus, the dual bypass modes — alongside the robust mini-sized chassis — ensure your sonic steed seamlessly integrates with myriad stage and studio setups.
