NUX NMP-2 Dual Foot Switch

The unbelievably simple user-interface comes from our complex Dual FET Circuit Design, but don't worry about what's under the hood.  Just enjoy the  1 Simple Control-Knob,  2 Boost Options, and 2 Bypass Modes. The 2 Boost Modes:  Clean Boost In the Clean mode, Lacerate only boosts the signal, increasing the volume without any sound colorization. For this reason, Lacerate is one of the cleanest "clean boost" pedals available. Crank Boost If you want fat , harmonically rich boost tone, just hold down the foot-switch (1 second) to engage the 2nd stage which adds your overdrive tone. Most boost pedals will only yield about + 20dB maximum, but Lacerate`s Crank mode gives you a whopping + 35dB . From average to huge! Higher Voltage, Increased Headroom & Dynamic     Lacerate has an integrated voltage-doubler which automatically changes 9V to 18V giving you ginormous headroom and dynamic. WARNING: To avoid damage to voltage doubler circuit, please ONLY use 9V Power Source. It will handle the conversion. True Bypass or Buffer Bypass Doubling the voltage to 18V gives you better dynamic, but it also creates a better headroom buffer. A lot of professional guitar players start their signal-chain with a stand-alone buffer. Lacerate has an embedded selectable buffer bypass You can change the bypass mode by turning on the power while holding the footswitch. Summary:  * True Bypass / Buffer Bypass  * 2 types of boost options (Clean & Crank)  * Dual FET Circuit Design for the most tube-like tone in a transistor design

Genuine Tube-like sound that makes it more than your average Tube Screamer!

More gain !  That was the overall goal.  If you’re not playing through a real tube amp, cranked for overdrive, it’s difficult to get  genuine tube overdrive sound. The original Tube Screamer pedals used an OP-AMP system, a basic circuitry that became popular for its “perfect amp” attributes.  It had no distortion so it had to be overdriven or distorted by re-shaping the signal until it distorts ( diode-clipping ).  Clipping it a little bit gives you Overdrive.  Clipping it a lot gives you Distortion. But there's a better way!   Using an FET Transistor System, which already has overdrive and distortion capabilities is a better approach to maintain the genuine sound you get from an actual analog tube amp. An FET allows you to bring out the harmonic attributes, and break-up the distortion into a finer grit, the way a real tube does. Now, your leads will sing richer and longer, and your rhythm will be more open and expressive than ever before. It all culminates into an overdrive that is superbly dynamic, with crisp precise clarity that lets players cut through a dense mix, without losing fat mid-range.
