Two legendary transparent drive flavors in one tiny, gig-ready box
The NUX Horseman NOD-1 is a mini overdrive that delivers that sought-after "always-on" style drive: clear pick attack, a sweet mid presence, and the kind of touch sensitivity that makes your amp feel more alive. Flip between two distinct voicings (Gold and Silver) to cover everything from subtle edge-of-breakup and clean boost to a thicker, more aggressive drive that still keeps your notes defined.
Features
- Gold and Silver modes: Two drive personalities in one pedal, selected via the side toggle for fast tone changes.
- Internal 18V headroom (voltage converter): Runs the core circuit at a higher internal voltage for more punch, clarity, and dynamic response.
- Three essential knobs: GAIN, TREBLE, and OUTPUT make it easy to dial in anything from transparent push to singing sustain.
- Switchable bypass behavior: Choose True Bypass or Buffered Bypass (great for longer cable runs and bigger pedalboards).
- Mini pedalboard footprint: Big tone without burning valuable board space.
Advantages
- Cleaner boost, better drive: Keep GAIN low for a tight, articulate lift that makes your amp feel louder and more responsive, or push GAIN for smooth grit that still cuts.
- Quick-to-fit in any rig: Works great before a crunchy amp, stacking into other drives, or as a final "sweetener" for your core tone.
- Built for real-world boards: Buffered mode helps preserve clarity in longer signal chains, while True Bypass keeps things pure and simple when you want it.
Benefits
- More touch sensitivity: Pick softly for sparkle, dig in for growl - without losing note definition.
- More confidence live: Two go-to sounds and simple controls mean less knob-twiddling and more playing.
- More usable tones in a mix: Tight low end and musical treble shaping help you sit right where the guitar belongs.
