The NUX Lacerate boost guitar pedal packs big sound into a compact, efficient stompbox. Boasting a dual FET circuit design, Lacerate gives guitarists two boost options: Clean and Crank. Step on the footswitch to activate Clean mode, a boost that increases the volume of your signal without adding any unwanted color to your sound. Hold down the footswitch for one second to achieve Crank mode, and enjoy an added 35dB of pure overdrive. This pedal features a single Volume knob, true/buffer bypass options, and a pedalboard-friendly construction. Music Experience guitarists say that the pairing of simple design and effective functionality makes adding the NUX Lacerate to their lineup an easy decision.
The unbelievably simple user-interface comes from our complex Dual FET Circuit Design, but don’t worry about what’s under the hood. Just enjoy the 1 Simple Control-Knob, 2 Boost Options, and 2 Bypass Modes.
In the Clean mode, Lacerate only boosts the signal, increasing the volume without any sound colorization. For this reason, Lacerate is one of the cleanest “clean boost” pedals available.
If you want fat, harmonically rich boost tone, just hold down the foot-switch (1 second) to engage the 2nd stage which adds your overdrive tone. Most boost pedals will only yield about + 20dB maximum, but Lacerate`s Crank mode gives you a whopping + 35dB. From average to huge!.
Lacerate has an integrated voltage-doubler which automatically changes 9V to 18V giving you ginormous headroom and dynamic. WARNING: To avoid damage to voltage doubler circuit, please ONLY use 9V Power Source. The pedal will handle the conversion.
Doubling the voltage to 18V gives you better dynamic, but it also creates a better headroom buffer. A lot of professional guitar players start their signal-chain with a stand-alone buffer. Lacerate has an embedded selectable buffer bypass. You can change the bypass mode by turning on the power while holding the footswitch.
