NUX - Masamune Boost and Compressor Pedal
Two Essential Stages of Tone, Perfectly CombinedThe NUX Masamune brings together two of the most important tools in a guitarist’s signal chain—compression and boost—in a single, intelligently designed pedal built for modern players who want maximum control without cluttering their board. At its core, the Masamune delivers smooth, musical compression that evens out dynamics while preserving your natural attack and feel. From subtle tightening of clean tones to more pronounced sustain for lead lines, it responds like a high-quality studio unit but remains simple and intuitive on a pedalboard.
Paired with this is a powerful clean boost section, giving you the ability to push your amp into natural saturation, lift solos above the mix, or add extra punch to rhythm parts. Whether used independently or stacked together, the two sections can be routed in flexible ways to suit your rig and playing style. Designed with versatility in mind, the Masamune is equally at home as an always-on tone shaper or an expressive performance tool. Transparent, musical, and road-ready—it’s a compact solution for players who want professional-grade dynamics and gain control in one unit.
