NuX Morning Star
The NUX Morning Star Overdrive Pedal is ideal for blues players, classic rock fans, and guitarists looking for a touch of warmth and edge without losing their core tone. It’s based on the Bluesbreaker circuit and delivers a soft, natural overdrive that works well for rhythm or lead parts. Use the Bright switch to lift darker tones or bring out extra presence in your solos. The gain control responds well to picking style, letting you shift from subtle grit to crunchy drive. You can also set the pedal to run in either True Bypass or Buffer Bypass, so it works neatly in different pedalboard setups.
Classic tone with natural overdrive
The Morning Star is based on the much-loved Bluesbreaker circuit. It gives your guitar a smooth and warm drive that doesn’t mask your natural sound. The tone works well with both single coils and humbuckers and suits anyone who wants a clear, vintage-flavoured overdrive.
Simple brightness control
The Bright switch is ideal if your amp or pickups sound a bit dark. It lifts the top-end slightly, giving your tone more bite and clarity. This makes it easy to fine-tune your sound without adjusting your amp or other gear.
Flexible bypass options
The pedal includes both True Bypass and Buffer Bypass modes, which you can switch internally. True Bypass keeps the signal path clean, while Buffer Bypass helps maintain tone quality across longer cable runs or larger setups.
Compact and easy to power
The pedal runs on standard 9V DC and fits neatly onto any board thanks to its small size. Its durable build and top-mounted jacks make it a reliable choice for live use, practice, or home recording.
