  • Nux has introduced its new SS-5 Solid Studio IR & Power Amp simulator. The new simulator is a pedal version of a number of classic amp/cabinet combos, including microphones and power amp tubes and boasts 8 cabinets, 8 microphones and 3 power amp tube simulations, all of which are among the most commonly used models in the world. Sounds perfect, but just how good is it Tom Quayle investigates.

    I came here for the review, but I stayed for the guitar playing. That picking is smooth and awesome.

    I'm ok with no 6L6. Same character as the 6V6's but more bass on tap. This thing sounds great.

    great demo, really highlighting the pedals' strong points, and a thorough run of each setting. I think you sold me on the power amp section being pretty vital. Also really liking the 6v6 power amp tube setting, and Dyna421 mic setting.

    Looks like a modern, compact take on the ADA Ampulator - must say I am most interested.

    Great playing as always, but why would anyone do an amp demo with Overdrive and full Reverb on ALL the time...? It may be an 'awesome' sound, but it's like eating ALL your food with Curry Powder... Is the pedal any good for other tones...? Who knows ?

  • @McCambira

    Hi guy! Should this Solid Studio, along with the PreAmp pedal, be placed at the end of the signal chain after the modulations, before the modulations or should the modulations be between them? Thanks for the help!

    Absolutely impressive !!! im not a big fan of these Cab Simulators (TwoNotes or such) coz i found that most of the time they kill your dynamic N mess up your tone but that one is just mind blowing N really makes a big improvement with no signal quality loss ...It will be really cool if NuX would make a stereo 1U rack version ...i will buy it soon ^^

    I'm 8 minutes in and only stadium distortion sounds... Do you ever play it clean or with some mild OD? Or lord forbid - - an acoustic sound?
    You play very well, but do conceive that not everyone is trying for Bon Jovi sound all the time.

    • @OmnipotentSag
      @OmnipotentSag 5 лет назад +8

      Right?!? I need to know how it sounds clean cause that is mainly what I need it for. LOL He says numerous times "That's great for a clean sound," but he never goes clean. Is he hiding behind the gain? 😉😁💯

    • @kikiphallin
      @kikiphallin 5 лет назад +2

      Take into account that you'll need a preamp before this, if you connect your pedals directly to this without preamp the eq and volumes of your clean and distorted sounds will vary A LOT. Believe me, it happened to me when I bought the mooer radar. So, answering your question, the clean and acoustic sounds you can get will depend at least 50% on the preamp you connect before this pedal. The other 50% will be the IR you decide to load into the nux solid studio.

    Hello, Can this be connected direct to the input of a guitar amp?
    Thinking of the following setup:
    Guitar -> Nux overdrive steel singer -> Nux Solid studio -> Nux Duotime -> into the inputs of two identical Vox Pathfinder 15Rs ckass A solid state amps (setup in a ping pong setup thanks to the duotime).

    I read in a few places that you need a preamp before this pedal. What's up with that? It makes the price less attractive. A decent preamp (Mooer, etc) is around 80 buckes.

    The descrpitionof the Thru output is completely confusing to me.
    The Manual simply states output for unaffected dry signal.
    Neither has explained what it is used for with a clear example scenario.
    Why would you plug an amp and cab into a simulator only to have a dry unaffected signal?

    • @Jkaterchannel
      @Jkaterchannel 2 года назад

      Once the SS is on the board and connected, you have the option to use it as intended with sim without amp or if you want to bypass it because your amp is there, then "thru" allows you to use your pedalboard without the Sim. It's actually very practical.

    I NEED HELP.
    I'm having a problem with my SOLID STUDIO. It creates glitches, lag, low octave noises, and it sucks my tone so bad.
    This happened after I load an IR into the pedal. It's so frustrating.
    I tried my other preamp pedal and it worked fine. I tried my board directly to my interface without the SOLID STUDIO pedal. Again, it worked fine. No glitches, No Lag.
    Hope anyone could help me fix this.
