NuX Core Drive Deluxe II

The NUX Drive Core Deluxe MKII Pedal is built for guitarists who want flexible overdrive with precise tone control, ideal for both stage and studio use. Its classic TS-inspired drive section gives you that warm, mid-humped character suited for rhythm or lead, while the clean blend knob helps retain clarity, especially useful with humbuckers or darker amps.

The switchable boost mode adds another layer of punch for solos or heavier riffing, and with options for true or buffered bypass, you can match the pedal's behaviour to your exact signal chain needs. Stereo outputs also make it easy to integrate into dual-amp setups or wet/dry rigs without fuss.

Full Description

Shape your sound with blend control

The clean-to-drive blend knob is the standout feature here. It lets you mix your clean signal with the overdrive, giving you more tonal flexibility than most drive pedals. You can dial in just a touch of grit without losing clarity, or push it to full saturation while keeping note definition intact. This is especially helpful for live players who want dynamics with articulate response.

Boost your tone on demand

A dedicated boost switch gives you extra gain at the push of a button, perfect for solos or when you need to cut through a mix. You can set the boost level independently using the internal trim pot, so it's not locked to a fixed setting. Use it to add edge to a clean tone or stack it into the overdrive section for added bite.

Customise your bypass mode

The Drive Core MKII gives you a choice between true bypass and buffered bypass. True bypass preserves your tone when the pedal is off, while buffered bypass keeps your signal strong across longer cable runs. This makes it easy to adapt the pedal to suit different pedalboard setups and performance spaces.

Stereo outputs for flexible routing

The stereo outputs make this pedal easy to drop into more complex setups. You can send signals to two amps, split a wet/dry rig, or connect into a multi-channel studio chain. It keeps your tone consistent and your routing options open.
