NUX - Drive Core Deluxe MKII Overdrive Pedal
Eight classic analogue drive circuits with instant switchingThe NUX Drive Core Deluxe MKII packs an impressive collection of classic overdrive flavours into a single compact pedal. Designed for players who want the flexibility of multiple drive pedals without filling their pedalboard, it delivers eight carefully voiced analogue circuits that cover everything from transparent low-gain tones to richer, more saturated overdrive.
Switching between the different drive modes is quick and intuitive using the rotary selector, making it easy to match your sound to the guitar, amplifier or style of music you're playing. Whether you're looking for a smooth blues lead, a punchy mid-focused rhythm tone or a tighter overdrive to push an already-driven amp, there's plenty of tonal variety to explore.
Unlike digital modelling pedals, the Drive Core Deluxe MKII uses a fully analogue signal path with relay-based switching. This preserves the natural feel and response of your playing while allowing you to move between drive circuits without unwanted tone loss or signal degradation. The result is an organic, responsive overdrive that reacts naturally to your picking dynamics and your guitar's volume control.
A built-in Post Boost adds another layer of practicality. Activated with a simple press-and-hold of the footswitch, it delivers up to 7dB of additional output after the drive circuit, making it an ideal solution for lifting solos above the mix without changing your carefully dialled-in overdrive tone.
Finished in a robust metal enclosure with true bypass switching, the Drive Core Deluxe MKII is built to handle regular rehearsals, recording sessions and live performances. If you're looking for a versatile analogue overdrive pedal that offers multiple classic drive characters in one straightforward package, it's an excellent addition to any pedalboard.
