Here's a rundown of the Nu-X effects pedals we carry and what makes each one worth your attention.
Overdrive & Distortion
Nu-X 63 Diamond Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal
Inspired by the legendary Klon Centaur, the Nu-X63 Diamond Overdrive delivers that coveted transparent, touch-sensitive overdrive that lets your guitar's natural character shine through. Ideal for blues, classic rock, and country players who want warmth without muddiness. Stack it with your amp's natural breakup for stunning results.
Nu-X 65 6ixty 5ive Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal
The 6ixty 5ive captures the essence of a pushed vintage American combo amp — think warm, harmonically rich overdrive with a hint of sag. Perfect for roots rock, soul, and Americana tones. A superb choice if you want that "amp on the edge" feel in a compact pedal.
Nu-X Hi-Gain Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal
When you need serious gain on tap, the Nu-X Hi-Gain Distortion delivers. Tight, articulate, and with plenty of output, it's built for modern rock and metal players who demand clarity even at high gain settings. Works brilliantly in front of a clean amp or as a boost into an already driven channel.
Nu-X Reissue Series Plexi Crunch Guitar Effects Pedal
The Plexi Crunch is a love letter to the classic British amp sound — that raw, harmonically rich crunch that defined rock in the late 1960s and 70s. If you're chasing Hendrix, early Zeppelin, or AC/DC tones, this pedal belongs on your board.
Nu-X Reissue Steel Singer Drive Guitar Effect Pedal
Modelled on the iconic Dallas Rangemaster-style treble booster, the Steel Singer Drive adds that cutting, singing quality to single-coil and humbucker pickups alike. A secret weapon for lead tones that need to cut through a mix.

Nu-X Super Chorus Flanger Guitar Effect Pedal NCH-5
A dedicated chorus/flanger pedal with lush, analogue-voiced modulation. The NCH-5 is beautifully simple to use — plug in, dial up your depth and rate, and enjoy rich, swirling tones that sit perfectly in a mix. Great for clean arpeggios, funk, and 80s-inspired playing.
Reverb & Delay

Nu-X Time Core Deluxe MkII Guitar Delay Effect Pedal
Delay is the backbone of countless iconic guitar tones, and the Time Core Deluxe MkII delivers in spades.

Dynamics & Utility
Nu-X Compressor Guitar Effects Pedal Sculpture NCP-2
Compression is one of the most underrated tools in a guitarist's arsenal.

Essential for country chicken-picking, funk, and clean tones that need to sit consistently in a mix.
