You HAVE to check this one out. NuX have created a Vox AC30 in a box and have absolutely nailed some of those classic British chimey tones all the way up to cooking classic 70's rock tones. If you are interested in the Vox tone, this is a great place to start. Today we take the diamond through it's paces and unlock every tone imaginable, so settle in as we take it through the No Talk All Tone treatment. Thanks to NuX for sending this one out to demo; this isn't a paid demo, but I do get to keep the pedal.

Sounds like yet another winner for Nux. It’s a shame that this doesn’t have the long press mode toggle like some of their other pedals. That’s a great feature.

@BudgetPedalChap 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, I have the horseman that does that. They could have done top boost and normal switch with that but I think in this case I prefer it as a toggle 👍

Cool pedal.😎👍✨ My "one guitar, one amp" setup is any of my guitars through my Vox VT 30. I mainly play either the Fender-ish Deluxe Reverb setting or the AC 15 setting depending on how much sizzle I want. While this amp does way more than that, this pedal does a good job of grabbing that Vox sizzle, it would definitely be good in front of Dirt pedals. I upgraded the speaker in my amp to a Jensen MOD. The Vox VT series are great amps for what they offer and putting in better speakers can really help them punch above their price point. Fantastic amps to buy used.

Speaker upgrades are something I've never dipped my toes into but it makes sense as it's such a big part of the sound 👍

I remember seeing Rory Gallagher in Swindon in the 1980s as part of a jazz, blues (or was it a blues jazz🤔🤭🤭🙄) do. Remarkable player, great feel and tone. I used to be able to bash out a few RG riffs - this pedal inspires one to go all RG. RIP Rory.

So we had to help Prince Albert get out of that can, do we assist Brian or figure he can take care of himself or is happy were he is? Really I just want to hear about that shrinking technology now. Is it a ray gun? Gamma rays? Some new cloning process? Can’t wait.

I have a Nux Amp Academy and with the latest update The Vox AC-30 was added to 18 amps roster. Nux did a great job and with a change of IR I can get Brad Paisley like tones. This one is also a great and possibly well priced.

@briancoyne6700 2 ай бұрын

What does this do that an EQ pedal can't? And what amp are you playing through anyways?

@BudgetPedalChap 2 ай бұрын

Guitar EQ pedals have fixed EQ points, so unless they align exactly with the EQ that a vox amp naturally accentuates, then the EQ pedal will likely only approximate the EQ of this style pedal rather than exactly match it. This pedal also adds clipping the further up the volume control you go, which an EQ pedal wouldn't. If you are just looking to get a bit more chime out of your amp but don't necessarily need the grit, an EQ pedal could probably do that well. This demo is through a deluxe reverb model on the HX stomp I believe, I made it to be a really neutral fender clean so the pedals do most of the contribution to the tone. Hope this clears things up a bit, don't hesitate to ask further questions 👍 thanks for watching

For backwards, violin bow swells and used with a delay for a unique sound. Digital unfortunately but they can't all be anolouge. Cheers.

Did you try it with a sharp mid-boost or a cocked wah pedal to see if you could get that "boxy, hollow, mid-rangey" sound Brian May gets frequently, like in the solo for "Killer Queen" for example? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mah9i7SjvJm6fnU.html Not easy to find this thing for purchase yet. :o

That Brian May tone is a lot to do with his guitar and pickup wiring . Plus he goes into the normal channel , dimmed . Doesn’t use the top boost 👍
