With the Brownie Distortion, NUX deploys its pedal prowess in the form of a pint-sized powerhouse that punches far above its weight, serving up heaps of ‘70s-style British distortion. Its specially designed BJT input stage and asymmetrical clipping circuit emulate the break-up and tube-style tones and textures that Music Experience’s gigging guitarists agree masterfully capture this iconic character. The Brownie Distortion retains a powerful, precise low end that gives your basses a boost sans mud. Meanwhile, its Tone control utilizes a lowpass filter to faithfully reproduce the Variac-effect sonics that are typically achieved via reductions in voltage values going into your amp, arming you with ample tonal versatility. Plus, the power circuit’s mix of a contemporary low-noise op-amp and dual red-colored LEDs opens the doors for symmetrical clipping, as well. Clarity and quality abound with the NUX Brownie Distortion pedal, maximizing your sonic sculpting capabilities while saving valuable space on your pedalboard or within your studio setup.
The Classical British rock tones of the 1970’s, packed into one little box. By using a hybrid of circuits, we created truly unique pre-amp and power tube distortion characteristics. You’ll be amazed to hear the warm, organic tone that’s reproduced. Brownie has a specially designed BJT input stage causing it to “break-up” when the preamp tube starts to distort. It also has an asymmetrical clipping circuit letting you simulate some of the characteristics of an actual tube amplifier. It also keeps the bottom-end tight by processing bass frequencies which can get muddy when distorted. NUX Brownie uses a low-pass tone control filter to simulate the Variac effect (by lowering the voltage going into the amplifier) for rounding-off your tone. The range of tone is controlled yet perfect for dialing-in the high-end response. The power clipping circuit is crafted from a modern low-noise OP-AMP and 2 red LEDs. It can create symmetrical clipping that distorts both halves of the signal keeping the sound smooth. True bypass circuits with a high quality TPDP mechanical foot-switch gives the bypass its phenomenal signal clarity.
