NUX MASAMUNE Booster & Kompressor Review by Vinai T

www.nuxefx.com/... Masamune is a legendary Japanese swordsmith of the Kamakura period (1185-1333). He produced some of the finest blades known to man. The name Masamune is synonymous with quality, so here at NUX, we forged a design of combined circuits, compression, dry signal, 2 gain stage of FET boost, routing...
ENTER the NUX MASAMUNE a pedal that offers huge razor-sharp dynamic sound, the quality on the level of a Japanese Katana, and not just any katana, it's MASAMUNE!
Both pedals are now available in one convenient metal housing, and it comes 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. The Masamune has an external foot-switch jack Input, you can easily operate the pedal by using an additional remote switch.
NUX Masamune is a sound-crafter pedal

Wow sounds like john fusciante funky effects

[@timwhite5562]

What type of compression does this use? I can't seem to find that anywhere. Optical, FET, VCA, multi band?
I'm assuming, considering the price, that it's either FET or optical.
I'm looking for a compressor/boost or OD combo, due to some constraints I have. I was assuming I would probably go with the Keeley Aria. The price is right and I always loved my old 2-knob comp (if you'd told me all those years ago that Keeley will be making a comp with blend/tone and attack for $130 new, I'd say you were crazy; the old 2 knob was like $220 for Christ sakes).

My Masamune makes a little noise. Is it normal? Maybe I need some noise gate?

[@user-cf7bt9jw2p]

Even the video is noisy in some parts

Where is the part were you show how the external switch works? Your explanation fell short.

[@KenWoLf31]

Doesn't the external switch technically just move the door switch functions from the pedal to another location on your board?? I don't think they do anything new...
