So cool that you’re still using this little tone machine. The sounds you get out of it are inspiring. I’m pretty convinced that Nux is really onto something special here. The passive radiator has to play a huge part in getting such a full sound out of this tiny box. It sounds much better than if they were using a simple speaker like they have in the Blackstar Fly. They’re kind of taking a page out of the Bose handbook (I have one of their little Soundlink Minis and it’s amazing). Anyway, I think I’m finally going to grab one of these, but I’m just making sure Nux doesn’t come out with a new version (maybe something slightly larger?) for NAMM. Thanks again for the great demos!👏
