Sounds great. Great job with the quick but informative explanation. No senseless rambling. Your demo bypassed the ramblings and went straight into it. Well done.

Terrific Demo! After seeing this, I bought the NUX Optima Air for my acoustic that is equipped with the K&K pure mini. I was plugging in directly to my Roland AC -90 and the sound was okay. Bought this unit and was blown away by the improved sound and flexibility. Simply amazing device…..

That HD28 sound was amazing! It's like playing a guitar thru an condenser mic. Well done!

I feel i won't be able to play acoustic guitar again without one of these. the Sound is just so nice.

Just got mine and there's a lot you can do with this, setting your own presets is amazing. I have a boosted version of my main acoustic for solos right next to the preset for the standard main EQ. It's doubling as a boost pedal! Be sure to read the user manual, this is one of the best acoustic IR pedals on the market, especially considering how much cheaper it is from a Tonedexter.

Very nice little box! With a little post EQ this can really sound stellar in a band context

Impressively accurate. The Martin HD-28 has the big beefy sound I would expect it to have, while the Taylor 814 sounds smaller and has the midrange boost that my ears associate with Taylors. They may have exaggerated the midrange-heavy sound a bit though. Overall they did a great job. But what I'm interested in is how it sounds when you record an IR image for your own guitar.

I was debating on between this and the aura spectrum , I went ahead and grabbed the aura , some of the tones I’m hearing from this video really remind me of some of the tones I’m getting with the aura . I don’t think anyone could go wrong either way . Thanks for the video .

Thank man, that´s a really good vid.

Thanks. Great demonstration, helpful.

Incredible box. So underrated

Great demo, I've been looking for an acoustic pedal, may have found it.

I have had this unit for 3 days. The first day I was so excited to try this out.... I only used the 15 presets. I was so disappointed. None of the presets made any of my guitars really stand out..... THEN!! today I experimented with the IR..... WOW! what a difference. 4 on my acoustic guitars (Martins, Cole Claks) really sing and sound acoustic through a PA. The quacking Piezzo pick ups now sound like they have been mic'd up. They are not 100% pefect, but alot better! Looking forward to experimenting further!

This sounds like a great pedal. I also prefer options like a reverb Chorus, and Delay even on acoustic.

Grande review. De muito bom gosto!

i love it!!!

Wow that pedal sounds amazing...

Great demo. Is the Optima Air quiet? Have you noticed any weird digital artifacts with the IR's? Also, just to make sure I understand, you can control the blend of the original signal and IR using the gain (original signal) and IR level.......is that correct?

the moment when u owned a cheap acoustic guitar but you want an expensive guitar sound. here's your solution. i wanna buy it very soon it fullfill my 3 needs : DI box, Reverb and IRs.. thanks for the video, really enjoy it!!

Thanks sir for the great review ! Are you useing any post eq ? Thanks 🎸

Thanks for the review! Would you be so kind to try it with electric guitar and some cab IRs 🙏

I get the idea that to get the most out of the Optima Air: rather than stick with the factory presets, you ideally need to capture your own IRs, most likely with the instruments you’ll use it with. As well as my acoustic guitars (Faith Saturn 6-string and Seagull S12 12-string), I’d love to try the Air with my Crafter M70E mandolin...

I've been looking at getting this for over a month but I can't find it on sale anywhere. Any idea when it's getting released for sale?

So far i've heard only bad modulated D45 sound from this thing, but on this video it sounds pretty okay. Interesting.

I just got mine yesterday and while messing with it I think I overwrote a preset. Does anyone know how to do a factory reset to get the preset back to the out of box setting?

Is the XLR out post the IR section and AMP section or Pre? Same question about the effects loop, is it before the amp, between amp and IR or post everything?

I like it, does it also work this well on Nylon electro's?

Hello I love the NUX Optima Air. However there is a slight ground noise .it goes away when I touch the pedal. I did a lot of test with power supply ,and other pedals the guitar ground is fine but with NUX Optima Air it make a found noise. Is that Normal? Did it happened in your test ?

How do you think this will work with an Anthem SL? Since it’s not just a piezo?

Anyone tried this with a acoustic electric ukulele? Wondering how this would change my uke sound?

very nice acoustic pedal

This thing is great! Time to trade in my Fishman Aura!

Thanks for this very nice and detailed overview! I was looking around a solution like this, and I came up with a (maybe tricky) question: does it make sense to connect a loop station to the send return of the Nux optima air in such a way to not loose the provided DI out? I would like to avoid buying a DI box, on the other hand I do not understand if the send return applies as last step in the signal chain (after preamp and IR section)... Thank you in advance

Heya great video! Does anyone know if I would still need a DI box for acoustic guitar if I had this pedal? My guitar also runs into 2 or 3 effect pedals. Thanks so much

Does this pedal work with the mic 100% lr baggs anthem pickup?

will this work with a fender tonemaster ( twin reverb) ?

I have an epiphone EJ 160 e, with a p100 humbucker magnetic pickup. I’d be interested to hear the IRs for the magnetic pickup.

How does it react with other acoustic pups? Anyone?

Do you have IRs that I can download and use on this pedal?

Can it not be powered with phantom? Seems like an oversight.

Are there any IR models for resophonic guitars?

This is very interesting to me. Anyone have any reports regarding gig reliability?

My pedal do not work with a nylon acoustic guitat with LR Baggs Anthem. Anyone else? Same guitar works normal through áudio interface. Some idea about?

I just bought a Godin xtSA which is a solid body guitar that has magnetic pickups and a piezo, which can be output separately. I have the Nux Stageman, and ran the Godin piezo through it and it sound good, but without as much body as I would like. I wonder if the Godin piezo would benefit from this pedal more (e.g. make it sound more acoustic). I plan on running the magnetic pickups through a modeler pedal, but want to preserve the ability to switch to an acoustic tone.

Can this pedal work on a Roland street cube Ex?

Have you used it on a live worship setting? How was it?

Anyone using it on nylon strings? how good is the sound?

Just wish you could make your own presets, and change them with your foot pedal

So far this looks like the best pedal for the $$$

is it good for nylon?

How much 'bleed' / spillover is there into the microphone you are speaking into please...?

Does this pedal simulate a 12 strings guitar?

Does it have a boost feature?

I play in a praise & worship ensemble and some services I play bass and some services I’m playing guitar (acoustic & electric). I’ve thought that if I could get a credible acoustic sound out of my electric, that would lighten my load in/out some. I’ve never been satisfied with the sounds from any of the acoustic simulators for electric guitar. I was wondering if you have tried any of the magnetic pickup IR’s with an electric guitar? If so, were you able to get a credible acoustic guitar tone?

The J15 and HD28 sound the best in my opinion, thinking about getting this to record my acoustic guitar playing as I can't mic up my guitar due to the constant noise in my neighbourhood. Thoughts anyone? Edit: J15 3:55 HD28 5:21

Hi do you think it can transform a 3/4 junior/travel sized guitar into a dreadnought or auditorium style? Small guitars can have that ukulele mid rangey sound to them. If the Optima Air can somehow remedy this problem it'll be a game changer for us folks with small guitars or er.. fingers!

Sounds really great! Is this pedal an alternative for let’s say Fishman Aura?

Does it have a tuner?

Sounds very .... can you use this device for any acoustic guitars?

Can you demo it with a ukulele, pls?

Any idea where in the USA these can be purchased?

Great sounding vid, how was this recorded ??

How much bro.?

Fantastic demo of this pedal. I am researching the difference between this Optima Air or their Nux Stageman? Has anyone tried (used) both?

sounds cool to me.

Is this thing really that noisy?

Wow that buzz is really bad when you turn it on.

Will it work with a nylon string acoustic?

This is the 2nd video I watched for this device and the Taylor 814 IR sounds awful and not like an 814. Is it just me or is the 814 IR really that bad sounding? Otherwise the other IRs sound really good.

Cool

NUX Sculpture Mini Compressor> NUX Horseman (Klon Type) > NUX Morning Star(Bluesbreaker Type) > Ibanez Mini Tube Screamer > Mooer 004 Day Tripper Preamp (AC30) > NUX Atlantic Delay And Reverb > NUX Mini Studio ( 3rd party IR loader) So I was at worship group playing guitar player sounds good, sounded like he had a pair of expensive pedals, was ask to play a worship set with a group, i didnt have my pedalboars and guitar the guitarist let me borrow his stud then I saw the pedalboard and I notice all these pedals and I was like on shoot nux pedal sounds that good, these are inexpensive pedals that work wonders mix in with a ibanez, mooer pedal its sounded amazing

Am I the only one that preferred the sound of the piezo pickup with Amp selected over the sound of any of the IR’s?

Two comments; first there is a huge volume difference when you kick in the IR which does not make the before and after accurate at all. Second I guess I am the only one that hears the massive phasing effect when the IR is kicked in. I find it unbearable. To note I own the nux and the Aura spectrum and they both do it . Sadly I have not found either musically. Maybe I am missing something ?

With this only need one guitar.

I like it but the price so expensive 😒💔

Good demo but the IR level knob at the top left is very important. It's a blend between DI and the IR. Increase the IR level to get a better sound. It's only turned at half way on this demo 😳

So this pedal can make a crappy guitar sound like a really great guitar? I realize that if you have a pretty nice guitar it will help with the annoying piezo sound, but really, could you play a cheap guitar through this to get a much better live sound?

"just leave these all at noon" (leaves none of them at noon)

it think we obsess too much about tone, most people cant hear the difference between a Vox or Fender in a full band mix.....And I am one who has tones of gear, but I think im done because its a money pit and marginal at best for tone improvement

Fishman sonitone

I got mine in the mail today, super disappointed. You're going to need a noise gate to quiet this thing down. I won't be using it at my live gigs.

Don’t understand why you would want to model your Martin guitar into a Gibson

It's impressive until it heats up and your sound becomes completely distorted and unusable.

Wowww
