NUX XTC Overdrive

Analog effect pedal red channel rich overdrive XTC OD
The NUX XTC OD pedal from the reissue series gives you the overdrive tone from the red channel of the famous boutique amplifier. It has rich harmonics and s fast response, making it a go-to box pedal for blues and classic rock!

The sounds that inspired the design and name of the XTC OD are no coincidence. The pedal was inspired by the warm and extremely expressive Red Channel of a famous American amplifier manufacturer—a sound that has been heard on numerous albums for three decades.

The pedal's range extends from very light and articulate crunch, perfect for blues and classic rock, to scorching-hot distortion, ideal for hard rock. The XTC OD is a tremendous asset on the pedalboard for boosting the sound of an amp for solos or fat riffs!

Simplicity and efficiency:
The XTC OD dispenses with complex control options and confusing secondary modes: Three knobs for volume, gain, and tone – that's it! And as is so often the case, simplicity guarantees efficiency: plug in your guitar, adjust the sound, and off you go!

From a control position around 10 o'clock, the pedal's gain structure sounds very pronounced, warm and powerful, making it ideal for rhythm sounds or even solos on a slightly distorted amplifier.

Turning the gain control to 1 o'clock takes us to a whole new level of boutique high-gain tone. A tastefully warm and musically compressive distortion is revealed. The tone control adds well-balanced high-mids and highs to the dense gain sound.

Simple, effective and unobtrusive, both in terms of its dimensions and electronics, the true bypass design of the XTC-OD offers a universally applicable pedal that can be used as an overdrive or distortion pedal for powerful riffs and chords as well as for solos and daring solo escapades.
