No sir. 😂 Sorry, but to beat boss they will have a long way to go I think in proving their worth. Not saying their bad at all, but as far as perception I think they'll have to really prove their wares. 😀👍
I don't think they're even close. Boss have been doing it for so long and so well (from a build point of view), that every other pedal is compared against that standard. How many other pedals from the 80's can you say are still working fine without being repaired? In terms of affordability, they're on the right track. NUX are bringing out some good affordable options. It's a great time to be a guitar player with options and not have to take out a second mortgage for gear..
@@hoosierdaddy2308 yes they are, actually you are using some of NUX things if you use boss, ups i guess that is not for net..People don't like to know who is ghost building for who etc..Like Suhr guitars, or PRS that import things from asia and sell you expensive, wait again i'm saying things i shouldn't...
I just bought this pedal and I'm very happy with this pedal. I love how you can turn the drive down and use it more for a clean boost. For the money this pedal is awesome!
Ed - greetings! I too have a DSL40CR which I really, really love. I have a few OD pedals and am a little leery eating another... I was wondering what other OD pedals you might have that you’re comparing this one too? I have an OCD, 805, OCD Ge, MojoMojo, TS, Soul Food... always up for another though. Thanks \m/
I know this is an old post, but it just came across my feed and had to check it out. I have one of these on my NUX pedal board, just after the OD and Distortion on the Cerberus pedal, and it's a KILLER! This adds an element to the sound that is missing, and it's a good one. I have an original Centaur to compare it to, and the question is: Is it as good as the Centaur? I'll say this, it's close, but not an exact duplicate. It's not bad at all actually, and for the price, you'd be hard pressed to do better. Good video Leon!
I like it and others and I don't know why I'm even bothering with pedals I have about a dozen and my amps can get very close to sounds without even using one pedal. Even though I almost pulled trigger on another clone,I'm addicted I guess,help me!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried out Nux around 2012/13 I guess, they were kinda new on the market. I got myself 2 stomp boxes and I was really disappointed, both broke down in a matter of 2 weeks and weren’t at all road proof. I called them up to tell them what was wrong with their pedals, they were very kind and send me replacements, however they too broke down soon and I didn’t bother wasting any more time. I really hope they have improved their QC by now, because they did sound solid for the money they cost, I mean you can’t expect more from inexpensive pedals sound wise, maybe just a bit more durability.
I bought this pedal a couple of years ago and I just love it. Personally, It was a kind of revelation and it made me realize the klon type sound is what I was unknowingly looking for. There might be better pedals to get that sound, but I don’t see the need to change. I plug it in front of my Yamaha THR-10 with a light crunch setting and it sounds amazing.
great video! your playing is off the charts good! I own this pedal and love it.....hard to believe you can pick it up for the less than $75. I think NUX are doing good things. I'm about to the pull the trigger on the Monterey as well.
I think it was darrel Braun who said lower pick ups leads to a stratier sound. He recommended just above the pickgaurd . I was also trying to balance the mix between the treble strings and the bass. Thanks for the quick response. Bye for now. Rock on! Sorry not done. I wish I had another strat to leave with the lower pickups. I do like it but I miss the tone made by higher pickups. I have another strat style guitar but it has all humbuckers. I always want all the tones. So many tones/ so little time. O.K. now I'm done. Stay heavy and Rock On! Thanks again.

Dude that is the coolest hat. I've seen some of your vids but you look perfect for the part of the established consecrated rock icon with that hat, it rivals Slash and his top hat.
I bought the NUX Mod Core some years ago. It sounded good and lasted about a week. Just stopped working. I bought a Mosky Silver Horse for $25 and it is still working fine. Once bitten
I had a horseman for over a year then stopped. They sent me another and worked for a week. Sent me another haven’t even opened it yet. Gonna sell it and use that money for something else. EHX is SO much better! Have lots of EXH pedals, first one bought in 2017, hasn’t failed me
I love this pedal! My only complaint is that the the output is SO LOUD. You go from a basically inaudible at 6.5 o'clock and then louder than anything in the mix or your pedal board at 7oclock.
Thx for the video! Cool stuff! Where's your volume poti on your fender all the way? On my Les Paul this pedal only crunches and the sound will break off when the guitar volume is at 10. Any idea where the fault is?
Ever demo a Menatone Red Snapper ? I recently got one and damn, it is incredible in front of my 2204. Sounds like “another preamp tube”…..super transparent….also PTP hand wired for those tone snobs out there 😅
Sounded great! What amp were you running it in front of? Or was it going into the front of your Axe FX 3? I've been thinking of trying my Tumnus Deluxe in front of the Axe, but I'm not sure if there's anything I need to be aware of before trying that.
Sounds nice with the drive up high. The low drive settings sound both too much and too little at the same time. Like the breakup sounds more like a mistake than a specific tone. The higher gain sounds seemed more deliberate. Then again, in the mix it did sound quite good even at the lower gain settings.
@@LeonTodd I feel that way about a lot of impulse responses. I'll hear a speaker sim on its own and it'll sound like utter shit but then I'll hear a mix and recognize a similar sound and be like "oh, it sounds killer there"
This type of pedal is expressly designed to offer different responses at different (guitar knob) volume levels... you should have demo'd that/those response difference(s).
Never understood the interest and why a Klon demands such a high price on the used marked. I get that originals are rare, but there's nothing very hard about the circuit (although unique at the time) or hard to find parts. I've always found it a lead sort of pedal as with rhythm it sounds too fuzzy for my liking. With this pedal: the gold mode sounds like a Klon, but for me the silver mode is where it's at. Glad to see there's a lot of cheaper options out there now if you're into this sort of thing.
I think it's mostly famous for bringing attention to the importance of clean boost, clean/overdrive blending, and natural clipping. Additionally its unique power converter setup of 27v created considerable 'headroom'. It was also one of the first boutique pedals, with an unorthodox story. After a few endorsements from famous guitarists later, legend does the rest...
I’ve seen a few of your videos, dig it - subbed. How’s youtube treating you? :) You still playing this pedal? I have a few so am leery of getting another, know what I mean? I have an OCD, OCD Ge, Soul Food, Timmy, mojo mojo, ts9, 805s... you suppose this will be any different?
I've never used a real Klon before or even a moderately priced Klon clone. But this pedal grew on me. I don't really use it as an OD though. More so a clean boost and I have a electro-harmonix crayon for my OD. I might still end up selling the horseman once I get a Timmy.
I do believe this little guitar effects box is a "clone or take off" of the Iron Horseman distortion pedal? (Which is my all time favorite distortion pedal especially V.2). I'd say this NUX has bright to brittle overtones, worse, is the "unwanted" fuzz I'm hearing. It's like it doesn't keep it's tone based on the settings. must be inexpensive.
not to dis the pedal but that's a great sounding strat. my guess is that the pickups are set fairly low. this seems to make a more stratlike tone. i'v been testing this theory and it does change the tone but if it's better or just different I can't say. I've got a regular golden horsie and I like it quite a lot. nice demo and playing. You get a like. Rock on!
im going out on a limb here, NU-X is the the best on the market, evrything sounds so good, im making up a board with solely nux pedels, so it means to boards but f it, these sound so good
How are you finding the durability? Also are you that one LetterBoxd guy, I don't mean to be a stalker but you're just in literally every comment section.
@@jaredhouseman2094 hi. I got the horseman replaced and the replacement is the same. I'll live with it. There is no noise unless turning the gain control.. Best wishes to you..
Hey my Aussie buddy. I'm loving that yjm strat. What a beautiful guitar. It looks almost an Ice silver blue color on my TV. Very cool. One dumb questiom: Did you change the nut from a brass to something else, and if so why may I ask? I ask because I am thinking of getting a brass nut for my kinda Strat. A 1991 or 2 SV Ibanez which has a small V neck profile and two point gold Gotoh trem like the Fender American trems basically. It also has locking Gold matching tuners and gold pickup bezels, so I'm thinking to dress it up I'll install Gold EVO frets and a brass nut. It needs a new fret job anyway. Might as well use matching frets. Even that Nux overdrive would match. Hahaha.. 😂 It sounds good to me. You use your axeFx with this? Keep up the great vids. I'm addicted to your channel sir. 😂 If I'm watching you I'm not watching someone else because of the value you bring. Most appreciated.💝👍💝👍👍👍
Hoosier Daddy Brass nuts seemed to be one of those things that were done in the late 70's/80's. The reasoning behind it was that the open strings would sound more like the fretted notes. I'm not too sure whether I noticed it that much, or whether it sounded better, just slightly different. They're definitely harder to make than a bone nut. I'm actually in the process of recreating a black LP copy I had back in the day with a brass nut & Bill Lawrence pickups. What can I say, I'm nostalgic!
@@peterschmidt9942 Yes. I lived back then too and have had one on an old Charvel from back in the early 80s. It did sewm to help to me with sustain, at least with open strings. I think the biggest contributer to good tone in my almost 40 years of experience is first pickup, then nut and bridge. Just my two cents. I have no scientific proof, but I do believe it's probably true, especially since that is what the strings have the most effect and contact with. Other stuff like neck thickness which doesn't rob the strings of vibration if the neck is thick, etc, I believe also matter. 👍😀👍
@@hoosierdaddy2308 Mate, I reckon you're spot on with that. Pickups have the biggest impact to sound (even just setting them up correctly makes a difference). The rest like neck profiles etc are player comfort. A guitar that's uncomfortable to play isn't worth shit if it's not setup to play! While strings do change the sound and maybe the way it plays, I couldn't give two shits these days what type of strings are on a guitar. I just buy what's on special and as long as they don't break too often, I'm happy. That's what the tone knobs on your amp are for!
@@orchidmalevolence9726 that’s one of the things I use the TS for, actually. Used to be a TS9 for that, now I use a STL (4-knob version of a TS). The TS9 is a rhythm boost for me now.
Just throwing a compliment: You really seem to be one of the most honest reviewers out there! You for example really dug in for the Boss OD-200( I didnt buy it though, but thats why the review is for!), this NUX Horseman is another "maybe" pedal for me... Thanks Leon!!!😎😎
@@dt9r Tumnus>OCD/Zendrive/Vick Tree of Life is the way to go. I like the Vick, but with a LP into a Laney VC30, OCD 1.4 was just killer. Kinda wish I hadn't sold it...

I´m selling my Mad Prof Royal Blue ( too rocknroll for me..) to get this: It sounds like a Wampler Tumnus, but wayy cheaper!😎
I run it in front of my Strymon Iridium.... it is the icing on the cake. It really makes a slightly overdriven amp into a monster shred. A+
4:30 Touch, taste and tone. This guy should be on TV.
DUDE DAMN! This is the best demo by far! Your phrasing is killer, and you made the difference between gold and silver mode clear as day
Finished the video, subscribed XD
Much appreciated!
Oh man the feeling is those lines you played just inspired me to grab my guitar and improve more .. great video
That's way more than . could ever have expected from a demo, honoured!
Such a pretty lead to show off the range of the pedal.
😊 🎶 🎸
Thankyou!
I bought one last week. I use it as a clean boost on an over driven channel on my Marshall DSL40CR . I'm liking it so far.

Where would unity volume be on this? I'm curious to see if it has more headroom than the Mosky Golden Horse, which hits unity at around 12 oclock.
No garbage here brother. This little friend can handle the big cats. $69 dlls in Amazon
Crazy good deal hey!
I rather save my money for accepting that unnoticeable less perfection against the much more expensive pedals.
just swapped a distortion ped for this Nux Horseman: waitng for jazzy strat neck pup tones...!😎😎
What kind of guitar and pickups are you running?
Superb pedal and I love their other products as well . All well built at affordable prices.

@@vrolokcult9287 yup but I'll be using it to boost solos.
@@orchidmalevolence9726 that’s one of the things I use the TS for, actually. Used to be a TS9 for that, now I use a STL (4-knob version of a TS). The TS9 is a rhythm boost for me now.
I had to buy this pedal and hope that it make me sound like a 🔥 breathing 🐉.
By the way you are one damn good rocker man.
Bought it and it's a bad ass! Recommended!
Bought this as an impulse buy 😂😂😂usual for me .....but love this pedal wouldnt swap it out for anything...aye right some may say but i aint kidding😮❤
Great demo n pedal! Would u prefer this or boss sd-1 :))
Both in series into a marshall :D
Nice review and very good playing 👍🏻
Your soloing is ……. Wow!!!!!!!!!
Much appreciated!
I think the nux horseman is great nux make good pedals and they sound great to the ear I like nux very much he'll yeah!.
Apparently it's pronounced nu-ex
That would explain why I see it written NuX. My bad.
@@LeonTodd But "Nucks" is more fun to say and hear!
I hate that everyone does it solo style
it's actually pretty good.. not for metal...pretty midrangy.. but sounds well
With a cranked Marshall ....
Everything in life is better with a cranked Marshall
Great pedal I love mine.
Sounds pretty.
Sounds dope
Sounds not bad. 👍
Will I get Metallica tone if I plug four of this?
Edvan Santos You will go back in time. But only by a few days.
That scalopated fretboard is disgusting. My eyes bleed.
Just throwing a compliment: You really seem to be one of the most honest reviewers out there!
You for example really dug in for the Boss OD-200( I didnt buy it though, but thats why the review is for!), this NUX Horseman is another "maybe" pedal for me...
Thanks Leon!!!😎😎
Damn...
Its great !!
I hate to say it but I would probably buy a used Boss SD1. Just me though..
Everyone should have an SD-1
@@LeonTodd Maybe 2 or 3. 😂😀
In front of an OCD a klon type OD is better than a SD1 with my rig, much more organic So it depends on what you have around
@@dt9r Tumnus>OCD/Zendrive/Vick Tree of Life is the way to go. I like the Vick, but with a LP into a Laney VC30, OCD 1.4 was just killer. Kinda wish I hadn't sold it...
@@hoosierdaddy2308 I have two :D Both modded. Now all I need is a stock one...
Nioce
Sweet playing, dude!!
Thanks a lot!
