Nux Brownie | Distortion Pedal

Shopping for a British distortion pedal? Look no further than the NUX Brownie! This compact yet powerful distortion pedal encapsulates the iconic British rock tones of the 1970s. By incorporating a unique hybrid of circuits, the NUX Brownie emulates the true characteristics of both pre-amp and power tube distortions, delivering a warm and organic tone that will astonish you.

The NUX Brownie achieves its distinctive sound through a specially designed BJT input stage that causes it to 'break-up' when the preamp tube begins to distort. Additionally, it features an asymmetrical clipping circuit to mimic the nuances of an actual tube amplifier while ensuring that the low-end remains tight and focused, preventing muddiness often associated with distorted bass frequencies. The low-pass tone control filter is designed to simulate the Variac effect by lowering the voltage entering the amplifier, allowing for a controlled yet versatile tonal range, perfect for dialing in high-end response.

Engineered with modern low-noise op-amp technology and two red LEDs, the power clipping circuit creates symmetrical clipping, ensuring both halves of the signal are evenly distorted for a smooth overall sound. A true bypass circuit complemented by a high-quality TPDP mechanical foot-switch ensures unparalleled signal clarity when bypassed.
