Nux Metal Core Deluxe MKII Distortion Preamp and 3 Mode Amp Modeling Pedal

NUX METAL CORE DELUXE MKII is a high gain preamp pedal with 3 different high gain amp models including Duo Rect, Fireman and VH 4.

You can select these models via the 3-way switch.

• The Duo Rect is based on the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. It's that familiar 90s American metal sound with its iconic metal front panel that brings to mind countless classic records from metal to punk to grunge, including Metallica, Tool, Korn, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters and Blink 182.

• The Fireman is based on the Friedman BE-100, the man behind the signature tones of rock icons like Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens and Jerry Cantrell. For over a decade, the "BE" circuit has been considered the epitome of British tone.

• The VH4 is based on the industry-revolutionary 4-Channel Diezel Amp. This amp covers a wide range of tones and has a thick, clear, "big" sound that many musicians love.

Because of its flexibility, VH4 is used in many recording studios around the world.
