NUX Horseman Overdrive Pedal

Legendary transparent drive without the boutique priceThe Horseman from NUX Audio delivers legendary boutique-style overdrive in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format. Inspired by one of the most sought-after overdrive circuits of the 1990s, this pedal provides transparent drive, rich harmonics, and plenty of headroom — all at a price that won’t break the bank.

With its simple Gain, Treble and Output controls, the Horseman is quick to dial in and incredibly versatile. Use it as a clean boost to push your amp, a low-gain transparent overdrive, or stack it with other pedals for thicker lead tones and saturated rock sounds.

A switchable Gold and Silver mode gives you two distinct voicings in one pedal. Gold mode offers the classic smooth, transparent drive that enhances your natural guitar and amp tone, while Silver mode adds extra gain and tighter low end for more aggressive crunch and cutting lead tones. Despite its small size, the Horseman delivers excellent headroom and dynamic response, reacting naturally to your picking and cleaning up beautifully with your guitar’s volume control. Built into a rugged metal enclosure with selectable true or buffered bypass, it’s a reliable and flexible addition to any pedalboard.

For players chasing boutique overdrive tones on a realistic budget, the Horseman is a powerful little pedal that punches well above its price tag.
