The NUX Masamune Booster and Kompressor pedal delivers both effects in one convenient design, along with selectable signal routing. The Boost Section comes with Boost Level, Drive and Hi-Cut controls. The Compressor Section comes with Komp Level, Sustain, Blend and Clip controls. It also has an external foot-switch jack input, so you can easily operate the pedal by using an additional remote switch.
The Masamune is a sound-crafting machine— it forges your dry-signal, enhancing your sound before sending your signal to your amp or any effects unit. The Booster adds beneficial color to your signal, and after you adjust the boost and drive levels, you can cut high frequencies on your input signal with the Hi-Cut toggle switch. The Komp Level knob controls the final output level for the compressor, balancing your input and output signals. The Sustain knob adjusts the compression ratio, and increases sustain—higher sustain levels will squash your signal harder when you hit the strings and creates a longer, richer sustain. Blend knob controls the compressor transparency from 50% to 100%, so you can dial-in the exact amount of compressed dry-signal blend you want. Clip Toggle allows you to choose the clipping range of your input signal. The Toggle-UP position will squeeze the signal for voluminous sound, and Toggle-DOWN will open up more space on your clipping range.
