    One of the most sought-after dual overdrive pedals produced in the mid '90s is now in one unique pedal design-with a pocket size. NUX Horseman pays homage to the legendary Centaur pedal. There are 3 dials for primary settings and 2 modes: Gold and Silver, and it offers massive headway usually requiring an 18v input.
    Gold Mode mimics its classic predecessor; the transparent Gold Centaur overdrive pedal and the Silver Mode is a powered-up version with an extended gain range (Silver Centaur).
    The sound is based on the Centaur's voltage converter circuit. But the Horseman's characteristic design is crafted with a built-in OP-AMP voltage-converter driving the 18V to OP-AMP. Higher voltage-supply orders-up more harmonics, and convincingly reproduces the sound of this unique pedal.
    Another “classic” way to use the NUX Horseman. Very useful when used in combination with the amplifiers drive channel (or any other drive pedal). And, depending on the Gain - Output adjustment, it lets the Horseman be used as a clean boost. Dial-up a low-gain with a high output setting, and it adds mostly volume and minimal color to your sound.
    Additionally, the controls can be set to distort the sound signal in the pedal, where two Schottky diodes can perform a waveform clipping. ( The germanium diodes are discontinued, we especially select the Schottky diodes to replicate the waveform clipping ) The "gain" knob is a double potentiometer (a "dual-ganged gain pot"), which controls bass and middle frequencies. Treble and volume are each controlled with separate knobs.
    NUX Horseman has an optional bypass mode. You can use the pedal in True Bypass mode to keep your signal untouched when the pedal is OFF in the chain. We highly recommend to select buffer bypass mode if you have more than 4 pedals connected together; switch to Buffer Bypass mode and there will be no signal loss in your pedal chain!
    Push and hold the footswitch and power-up the pedal; the LED indicator will show which bypass mode is activated; RED - True Bypass / GREEN - Buffer Bypass.

    Can I just say that I love your reviews and the way you do them? No six minutes of talking before actually playing; you just play the darn thing and let text on screen do the describing. Love it, wish more followed your example instead of all trying to be TPS.

      This is not a review. This is a demo.
      Review is supposed to contain some analysis or opinions about the product, hence the talk.
      If your boss review your job, what will he do? He will talk or write his opinions.

    Great to see a demo from someone who doesn't just dime the gain and crank the guitar and blast. Nice, subtle playing in a tone that I could see myself really enjoying. Might have to pick one of these up at the price for my budget bedroom rig.

    Great playing Mike. This little pedal sounds great with a F Telecaster player ( Alnico 5 pickups ) and a Fender 57 tweed in both modes ( gold and silver ).
    Great value not only for the little money. Complete opposite to my Xotic ACRC OZ which will stay my Nr.1 ... ( one minus ... Made in China. Sorry for that... )

    There are sooooooooooooo many overdrive pedals that are way better than SD-1, OD-3, Tube Screamers etc nowadays. NUX HORSEMAN is among the many cheap but high quality Overdrive pedals you can buy that sound so much better than all those overhype 'famous' pedals above.

      True there are so many great overdrives out there and most are great in their own way. As far as tube screamers go, I bought a Maxon vop9 over 20 years ago. In that time I have bought and tried many others but I always, always come back to my Maxon ( they made the original TS for Ibanez), as my go to od. Tone is a very personal and subjective quest.

      @@imalright2837 Same, absolutely! Shit pedal (though I bought a very inexpensive Joyo clone). However, being a Strat user, I found that by pressing the bright switch on my amp I managed to turn my Strat into a Telecaster. The mid-boost that the Tube Screamer sound gives you (once brightened) a great spanky country tone. At least I found one use for what I thought was a frankly useless pedal.

    Actually, on consideration, because I love Way Huge pedals, I will probably get one anyway and will use this space more usefully to say, yet again, that you are by a long way my favourite player who is kind enough to demo pedals for us. Peter Thorne is a great player but I doubt I'd spot him in a crowd. Shawn Tubbs is better but you're the best.

    @MrBallynally2 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just bought one.The video makes me slightly worried about the extended bottom end when the pedal is engaged and used as a solo boost w the gain low and the volume up.
    Might work better as a low overdrive with at least some gain..

    Hi, I'm a rhythm guitarist with strong chords and a mahogany humbucker, just like 50 percent of guitarists. You forgot about us !!.I am really interested in this pedal and your videos so I was disappointed in this one. Please include power chords with a humbucker so that I can hear the dull and crunch of the pedals, even if it's only for a few seconds so you don't leave out the rhythm guitarists. , that we are very many.Thank you
